@LetTheRedeemed I got the Forefront k2 mk4 drops, it's a bit cheaper than Thorne but seems good.

@LetTheRedeemed Yeah, I got mk4 and haven't experienced any heart palpitations.

@nicemushroom17
Things I’ve found looking at the internet and other forums:

• Low sugar/carb: Obvs not since here I am and I was low carb for awhile which lead to this.
  -Niacinamide: Seemed to make it worse for me.
  -Inositol
  -Taurine
  -K2
  -Resistant starch: this seems to be pretty good, had some cold potatoes that I boiled the day before and felt good.
  -Low fat diet

@pondfountain Been just using K2 topically and erection quality has been really good and the skin is darker when I’m doing some stretches. Got some liquid D3 and ordered a higher quality vit E oil I’m gonna add to see if I notice any differences.

This is the K2 I’m using: https://shop.forefronthealth.com/products/vitamin-k2-thyroid-support?wickedsource=google&wickedid=EAIaIQobChMI_-2Rx5OpiwMVHnJ_AB0EtSjXEAQYASABEgJvoPD_BwE&wickedid=&wcid=20116569043&wv=4&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAofxFtY0tqpYDiKnMHF9vLrDvqaSp&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_-2Rx5OpiwMVHnJ_AB0EtSjXEAQYASABEgJvoPD_BwE

Hi
Piggybacking off this thread: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2281/how-to-restore-glucose-oxidation-insulin-sensitivity?_=1738640425065

I’m a 24-year-old male, underweight, but dealing with symptoms of insulin resistance (blurry vision, excessive urination) and PCOS-like issues (hair loss, excessive body hair, worse acne). I suspect high cortisol from years of restrictive eating and fasting is contributing to this.

I’ve tried niacinamide but stopped due to worsened vision. I’m now testing inositol and taurine, though I’ve had histamine reactions to taurine before.

My goal is to improve insulin sensitivity and bulk up. Any advice on how to approach both of these

@GreekDemiGod Any update on your insulin sensitivity? I'm dealing with some insulin resistance.

Looking for insights on long term usage of MSM Methylsulfonylmethane) supplementation.

I've noticed my eyes are noticeably lighter, and my skin and hair look healthier when taking MSM. So, I would like to keep taking it for the looksmaxxing effects; however, I was wondering if there was anything to be cautious about when supplementing it.

I couldn't find much on side effects, and it looks like the main thing is to make sure to get vitamin C and molybdenum alongside it, which should be easy enough through a peaty diet.

@LucH I think it's connected to histamine, but not sure how to fix it. I was taking Claritin for a while, which helped greatly for a couple of months but effects wore off.

Also, interestingly, when I was taking finasteride, a lot of my histamine issues went away except the ears flushing.

@Jennifer Hi Jennifer, I do seem to have histamine issues which I believe might be from too much iron leading to an imbalance of zinc/copper. Not sure about allergies. I also think I'm somewhat hypothyroid so my sugar metabolism might not be the best. What did you do to help your histamine problems?
Thanks!

@Kilgore Was this just from stretching, banded sleeping and your protocol?

@Kilgore I appreciate the heads up! I’ll check those out

@pondfountain I got this from my grocery store:

What could cause my ears to flush and get really warm particularly in the evening? Shits annoying

@pondfountain I’ll give that a try. I don’t have any topical Vitamin D, so I’ll use 50/50 of E oil and tallow since tallow has D and K.

@zorba990 That’s good to keep in mind.

However, I think I actually have high iron based on the fact that I ate a high iron diet alongside a diet rich in fruit and low in calcium for several years. I’m pretty positive but not 100% if that’s what’s causing me problems though, we’ll see.

@Kilgore thoughts on cycling K2 and something like MSM? So focus on making microfractures for a period whilst stretching them out and then focus on strengthening bones for a period and repeat.

@pondfountain Not really any side effects, I was getting some irritation but I was trying jelqing and angion with it.

No, I don’t think it would work well as lube, since I was getting irritation from friction doing those exercises. The vitamin E oil I was using on the other hand would work good as a lubricant.

@bluemen I occasionally put beef tallow on my pp and it definitely seems fuller. I used to put vitamin E oil on it but stopped cause I had read somewhere vitamin E can increase likelihood of prostate cancer. But I’m unsure how true that is.

@zorba990 I’ll look into it. Thanks!

@risingfire Haha, don't worry, I'm off it. However it actually, worked pretty well for me, but for obvious reasons, I want to solve my problems without it.
