Anyone got a good source for Phenibut? I used Europe Chemist, but looking for something cheaper.

RE: Effect of endocrine disruptors on females?
Idk about their health, but women in this generation have been getting hotter and hotter.
I think women are now the most attractive they’ve ever been at any point in history.
Slim waists, wide hips, highly voluptuous body with large breasts are common in women born after 1995. -
RE: Are beards ACTUALLY genetic?
Definitely not. Until the age of 25, I haven’t been able to grow much of a beard.
After I started lifting and then peating, and DHT maxxing, I’ve been able to grow a much thicker beard than before. But this took 5+ years.
Now I’m able to grow a nice beard, moderately thick and dense except around the cheekbones, where it’s less dense. -
RE: Thyroid Log
Switched to 100mcg T4 and 12 - 25 mcg T3 after latest blood tests.
TSH went down to 1.16.
FT3 in the middle of the range
FT4 dropped to 13.5.Judging from the blood tests, it looks like:
- both exogenous T3 and T4 suppress TSH
- exogenous T3 also suppresses (or lowers, depending on the dose) the body's natural production of T4, because the body senses more active thyroid hormone, so it downregulates natural production of T4. This is thy T3 monotherapy doesn't work long-term.
- To compensate for the FT4 drop due to exogenous T3, we have to supply a generous dose of T4
I’ve been feeling better and better. Fatigue has been diminishing.

RE: Effect of Aspirin on Male Hormones, Testicular and Epididymal Histology In Mice
@sexpresso69 Watch out because Asprim lowers Ferritin/ Iron stores if taken regularly, some even get Anemia from too much. It’s a good toolkit to have in your arsenal, but no reason to take it daily.

RE: Personal Log - Digestion, energy, vitality
I saw this post by Danny Roddy and it perfectly matches my symptoms. Hopefully getting the dose right and bringing my temps and pulse to optimal levels solves them.

*Hypoglycemia, steatorrhea (fat malabsorption), and gynecomastia are three of the most common liver problems associated with hypothyroidism that I know of. The right dose of thyroid hormone has been used to correct all three problems. Along with all the typical markers of hypothyroidism (e.g., pulse, temperature, cholesterol), the hormone prolactin has been used to assess the severity of liver disease.

RE: Thyroid Log
Starting to realize that I have conversion issues. On T4 alone, I feel awful, very fatigued. On T4 + T3 nibbles, much better, I'm able to function.
I've also been reading on why T3 monotherapy is not sustainable and doesn't work in most. When you take T3 only, it will suppress your TSH, causing your thyroid to produce much less T4 naturally. That's why you need to add T4 in the right amounts. Too less exogenous T4 will leave you with your thyroid production suppressed and at the same time, the exogenous amount will not be enough.
I also don't agree with Ray and Danny Roddy saying that Calcium and Iron, and food in general, doesn't interfere with thyroid absorption %. Because I've been reading how people who were on T4 monotherapy and eating within 1hr of taking the medication saw much better results when they ate 4hrs after taking the medication. So they either took it at night 3-4 hrs after last meal, or very early in the morning, 4-6AM. -
RE: Thyroid Log
@hypercashoidism It’s below the lower limit, that’s too low. last time I tested, my SHBG was 12.

@banquos-ghost Have you done more recent blood work?

@Mr-X It's a brand name, that based on my research, is one of the few legit ones.

RE: Personal Log - Digestion, energy, vitality
What I'm currently doing
- 6 tbsp Gelatin per day
- 75 mcg T4
- Aggressive Strength Testosterone Booster (1 month of this almost doubled my T levels, from 300 to 590)
- Dandelion + Chamomile tea

RE: Thyroid Log
Update:
Now doing 75 mcg T4 and nibbling T3 (< 12 mcg total).
I increased because for some reason, my TSH went back up, from 1.84 to 3.26. -
RE: Thyroid inflamation after months of supplementing
@Sippy blood tests show unsuccessful dosages. You are hypothyroid.
How much T4 are you taking? My guess is you need a lot more.Don’t you have Hashimoto? In that case, it’s a whole different story.
Edit: you likely have Hashimoto, sorry to break it. That much T3 should have a powerful suppressive effect on your TSH

@CO3 I thought you mean butternut squash.

RE: Personal Log - Digestion, energy, vitality
Started using Gelatin, bought 2 bags of 2 kgs, I'm taking 2 tbsp at each meal bloomed in water, so 6 tbsp/ day.
I'm hoping to have a beneficial effect on my digestion, and to reduce my intestinal inflammation.
Already noticing more bowel movements from it. -
RE: Thyroid Log
Increased my T4 from from 50 mcg to 62.5 mcg. I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and 1 hr before food for maximum absorption.
I've also reduced my T3 intake to under 10 mcg/ day. The plan is to transition to T4 monotherapy. -

Watch out for carotene toxicity. I don’t think it’s wise to have it as a daily staple.

RE: Thyroid Therapy for Chronic Digestive Issues
@banquos-ghost see my post in the other thread. Your T4:T3 ratio of 2:1 is way too low and it’s what causing the low ft4. You have to add more T4 and lower T3.
How do you feel with the current blood tests?
