@William-Shat yes that’s what I thought too. It may even clean out any things that are blocking a vein, given how penetrable it is and how strong of a solvent it is

Okay, either DMSO doesn't work well or DMSO solutions are hard to heat up to the point where you can dissolve the hormones. Either way, this is a valuable lesson. Thanks for sharing.

Here is my method if you are interesteed: I put 1500mg of DHT inside a 30ml Idealabs dropper bottle, and using a funnel, I put 33 grams (30 ml) of DMSO inside the bottle too. I simply heat up the bottle for 12 seconds using a 1000W microwave, and it comes out maybe 60-70 degrees celsius and perfectly dissolved; I shine my light from the phone, through the bottom of the bottle, and if you look down the neck of the bottle, into the liquid, the light illuminates any undissolved particles if there are any.

@Crypt-Keeper It's probably the concentrations you use in DMSO; I use 5% DHT in DMSO (50 mg DHT per ml of DMSO), and it absorbs perfectly fine, no crystals. T seems to be a lot less soluble in DMSO than it is in ethanol

@DkJoe2 Since it is dissolved in DMSO, it will have 100% bioavailability when applied topically. Furthermore, DMSO will carry the magnesium directly into the cells, without the need for a magnesium ion transporter, increasing absorption furthermore.

If oral magnesium bicarbonate works for you, I don't think there is much difference; magnesium bicarb has an oral bioavailability of 50% whereas this product has a 100% bioavailability; 50% bioavailability is pretty good as well. I personally don't use magnesium, but I have brewed this product, and it really easily dissolved and it fully absorbed when applied topically.

@William-Shat Nice! Add some vitamin D to the mix, it should be synergistic with the vitamin K.
Vitamin D/K combo increases penis size as much as surgery

I also like using DMSO; it's the best and easiest solvent to use, in my opinion. Given its anti-inflammatory properties, I suspect that DMSO alone also had beneficial effects. Did you use vitamin K2 MK4 powder from Lark Supply?

Hi all, I have made a pretty amazing discovery.

The company IdeaLabs, sell's a topical magnesium supplement called 'Magnoil'. It is 20% DMSO (due to solubility issues of magnesium) and 80% water - this supplement offers the benefits of 100% absorption, compared to oral products, which means that your body can utilise the magnesium better and since it is dissolved in DMSO, it allows magnesium to be brought into the cell, and to be utilised!

The cost of this supplement is $29.99 - which is a fair price for, when they use the magnesium salt called 'Magnesium Piconate', which is quite an exotic, expensive form of magnesium.

However, due to supply issues, they have started to use magnesium sulfate, in some batches rather than piconate.

Magnesium Sulfate is the chemical name for Epsom salts - aka bath salts - a dirt cheap product for baths.

Epsom salts/ magnesium sulfate / bath salts are sold commonly at any health store, and since they get absorbed transdermally, all of them are sold as food grade quality.

The next thing you need is DMSO and water - food/ USP grade DMSO is really easy to come by, and can be ordered online and any bottled water should be pure.

Therefore, for the cost of a few dollars for epsom salts and maybe 20 - 30 dollars for a lot of DMSO, you can create dozens bottles of the product 'Magnoil' for maybe 2 dollars or less a bottle, compared to 30 dollars, while still maintaining the same purity as IdeaLabs.

I hope this helps some people.

Just dissolve 6g of Magnesium Sulfate, in 6.6g of DMSO (the equivalent of 6ml of DMSO) and then 24g of water, to create the product. Heat carefully in the microwave to dissolve.

25 drops or a ml should provide 200mg of magnesium.

@wester130 At first circa October of 2023, that immitation product was even called "pansterone" and his whole website was called "pansterone.com". I wouldn't trust that company, given he was trying to impersonate IdeaLabs. Just my personal opinion.

@Insomniac love this

@alex155 T4 (thyroxine) should also work. You can also import T3 from other countries. My country also doesn't have T3, so I import it from the USA.

Inhibiting prolactin also increases the expression of 5 alpha-reductase, and androgens such as DHEA and Testosterone also increase the expression of 5 alpha-reductase.

@alex155 T3 is the main inducer of 5 alpha-reductase. Hypothyroid organisms tend to express 5 alpha reductase enzyme at lower expressions, but they express 5 beta reductase at higher concentrations. So all their steroids are mainly metabolised into 5 beta-reduced steroids and rather than 5 alpha-reduced steroids, like DHT or allopregnenolone. Conversely, hyperthyroid organisms express 5 alpha reductase enzymes at higher expressions, and the 5 beta reductase at lower concentrations, which causes more of their steroids to be converted into 5 alpha reduced metabolites like DHT.

The ratio of the 5-alpha reductase and 5-beta reductase metabolites of a steroid can show the 5 alpha-reductase expression levels. The ratio of alloTHF/THF ratio shows the rate cortsiol is metabolised into it's 5 alpha reduced metabolite (alloTHF), compared to it's 5 beta reduced metabolite (THF), as is therefore an indicator of 5 alpha reductase levels.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16402926/

A study showed that "The urinary alloTHF/THF ratio was significantly higher in the hyperthyroid patients and significantly lower in the hypothyroid patients than in the controls." This displays that hyperthyroid patients have more 5 AR than hypothyroid patients, highlighting the significance of T3 in regulating 5 alpha reductase levels.
