@jamezb46 Most milligram scales aren't accurate when measuring single-digit milligram weights; and even then, the size of drops varies, therefore, a mean has to be taken to calculate the average size of a drop.

And if you use the mean value to say how much a drop is then it is automatically an approximate figure. So, unfortunately, using an approximate figure is the only way to guess how much you are taking based off of drops.

@Mauritio That might be how it inhibits LH and FSH, and is anti-androgenic, because the opioid receptor inhibits GnRH secretion when activated.

Steroids such as T and DHT, increase opioid receptor expression, which could be a mechanism of how they shut down the HPG axis.

@LucH Exactly; my first thoughts were it's completely theory-based and is designed to sound factual and kind of give hope, but I couldn't describe it in words; "buzz" is the perfect word thank you

@jamezb46 Just spoke to a friend that dissolved 10% DHT in a solution that was 51% tocopherol 49% olive oil( Vitamin E "Oil" from NOW. has 510mg of alpha-tocopherol per 1ml).

I might add since he was able to dissolve 100mg in per 510mg of alpha tocopherol, it is more like a 20% solution excluding the olive oil (which DHT is not soluble in)

@Mauritio Well progesterone does the same; inhibits LH and FSH, and is therefore anti-androgenic. Unless peppermint oil is estrogenic, it may be a good proxy for progesterone.

@Mauritio Peppermint oil is 30-50% menthol, 15-30% menthone and 5-10% eucalyptol. So peppermint oil could be a vehicle to deliver these substances.

@goniath Unsustainable and ineffective in my experience. His supplement SEA, doesn't work either, even when taken in massive doses repeatedly.

@Mauritio Menthol, Camphor, Menthone and Eucalyptus, all are terpenoids known for their "cooling" effect, and are completely saturated- Camphor and Eucalyptus are even saturated cages, similar to Adamantane. Very interesting to me.
I would love to see if their is some overlap in their origin, structure or effects

@jamezb46 The issue isn't that DHT is insoluble in tocopherol, but rather that people are either using the wrong solvent or brewing it incorrectly. I’ve successfully dissolved DHEA, progesterone, and exemestane at 300 mg/ml in a mixed tocopherol solution at a 30% concentration, multiple times, with ease. There was no undissolved particles when I looked through the glass, and shining a light through it exposed no further undissolved particles.

Tocopherol is likely the most effective solvent for dissolving unesterified steroids. However, it is also the most challenging to use. First, you need to determine the exact amount of tocopherol in milligrams and oil and use an appropriate amount of steroid. Second, it requires significant heating beforehand to properly mix the steroids. Additionally, you’ll need to reheat it during subsequent steps to ensure everything dissolves thoroughly.

Simply throwing a random amount of DHT powder in a "tocopherol" oil, which a lot of the time has a low amount of vitamin E inside it, and throwing it in the microwave until it gets hot, won't work.

@LetTheRedeemed Even though ethanol has it's own anti-microbial and drying effects, niacinamide can dissolve at 100% concentrations in water; e.g; 1g per ml of water or 10 g per 10 ml of water. Therefore, water can be used as a solvent to maximise the amount of niacinamide applied.
