Lobotomize-me athletic logs

@lobotomize-me only you can ultimately know if it’s enough, but adrenaline can help smooth out the cortisol shakes in my experience, and in the heat of the “battle” it’s very difficult to accurately assess your wellbeing. This is just my experience personally. I’m sure there are athletes who can keep tabs on those signals, (I’m much better at responding to negative indicators now myself, but I also have 43 years of opportunity to do so).
I can’t imagine I would have known what adrenaline was when I was 16. I remember in fact in my first high school scrimmage, my first carry, (American football) I was injured terribly in my lower back on my right side. My hip felt like it had been dislocated or something, really just brutal pain. Of course I got back in the huddle, carried the ball again, and to my amazement, the pain disappeared! I now know that adrenaline kicked in and I could no longer feel the injury. In what I’m sure is a totally unrelated incident, I began to lose my hair at 16. Lol, we don’t know what we don’t know…

Do you make it yourself your vitamin K with DMSO? If so, which vitamin K supplement do you use and what is the concentration of DMSO?
-
@Phoenix007 Yes, I make my own (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vitamin-Complex-Menaquinone-Capsules-Availability/dp/B075TK5BK9), but this is my only cheap option in Germany, so there may be better alternatives in other countries. The DMSO is pharma grade and measured by drops. I don’t remember the exact math i did behind it, but I use 20 drops of pharma-grade DMSO and 1 drop of water (the water drop is larger and just enough to keep the solution from becoming too rigid)
-
@lobotomize-me you don't filter out the excipients in the supplement, right? They don't seem to bother?
Do you apply it topically on your face? I wonder if making a simple solution of DMSO and water and spraying it over the area before using Georgi's Kuinone would be a good idea to increase topical absorbtion
-
-
All fillers inside the capsule are insoluble in DMSO, so they won’t penetrate the skin barrier.
-
I recently stopped using topical vitamin K; I’ve forgotten the reasoning behind the decision
-
When I applied it to my face, it burned. I persisted a couple of times, but I can’t say it was worth it no benefit or harm beyond the discomfort.
-
Haiduts Kuinone is generally formulated with a “secret” solvent he claims is as effective as DMSO but less irritating. I’ve never tried his products, so I can’t confirm its composition, and I don’t believe you need to layer DMSO onto Kuinone to improve absorption.
-
-
@lobotomize-me Good to know the fillers are not carried in.
Do you have experience with topical applications of other substances? I wonder if it may not be worth to use some DMSO to increase the absorption of topical magnesium, just like Magnoil or maybe mixing in some Solban to make it more effective.

@Phoenix007 DMSO is the only carrier I use for vitamin D besides MCT oil, so I can’t really compare it to other options. I also dissolve pregnenolone and DHEA in DMSO.
-
@lobotomize-me what is the ratio of DMSO to MCT oil in the solution?
Can you give your source of pregnenolone?
Have any particular benefit to report from its use? Just got my Pansterone and experimenting with it for the first time, although the doses are wuite low compared to what you would get from a pure pregnenolone supplement -
@Phoenix007 I mistyped i have mct oil as a solvent for vit d . this solution is a separate one and unrelated to dmso. i buy life it from life ext https://de.iherb.com/pr/life-extension-pregnenolone-100-mg-100-capsules/12149. benefits are hard to pinpoint

@lobotomize-me Thank you
