The nootropics depot scale is pretty good, its basically a gemini scale but they qc every unit plus it has lifetime warranty

@ZeroTron There are a couple of publications on Pubmed if you search for mead acid and some more if you search for eicosatrienoic acid, which is the scientific name, but yeah it's not that researched.
You can find sources by googling (someone said Yandex is better for this) its cas number which is 20590-32-3, albeit not many.
I think Peat said that even though it is technically a pufa, it has sfa-like properties. But i would take it exogenously it may behave differently.

@brad i was referring to the anti-androgenic effects of large doses of prog in males like loss of libido, penis numbness, sensitive nipples etc.

These higher doses "compete" for 5α-reductase to form 5a-DHP, so conversion of T to DHT through that enzyme would be reduced hence the anti-androgenic effects.
A little bit of dhea can help you get away with high doses of prog without these effects, probably as dhea will be favoring the T pathway as opposed to the estrogen one.

This is all in theory of course, but im going to soon try progest e with dhea in a 3:1 ratio in high-ish doses for anti-catabolic/anabolic effects and will make a seperate post about it.

@ATP supposedly, small amounts of dhea taken with progesterone prevent any anti-androgenic side effects

@skylark I have the Wein Vortex VI 3500. It comes with a universal power supply (100-240v) so it works everywhere, only thing you need is a us to eu/international plug adapter.
