Same feeling on zinc, my energy levels are quite low, feeling weak in the gym so I am doing shorter workouts, like 30 mins and not going failure with every set.

I agree that there are so many factors, and Helen has explained a lot in detail about the possible mechanisms of hair loss. I think it's really hard to achieve the perfect balance, just hoping TEI will halt my hair loss and hopefully some temple regrowth.

They might alter the receptors but how do we know if the values are the same for everyone? Perhaps we have damaged our organs with drugs, alcohol, stress and other bad habbits, thus someone's metabolism might work better with different mineral values/ratios. I'm mostly speculating, but it's...

The question is wheter people with the same mineral values/ratios can have different regulated androgen recepots, e.g. one has upregulated receptors and the other has downregulated receptors. Meaning the one is more prone to hair loss and androgenic effects, than the other, yet they have the...

Do you have diffuse hair loss or receding hairline?

Zinc and copper gives me nausea on empty stomach and even after small meals. If I take them after big meals I am mostly fine.

You are still young and facially still developing, so better chance for palate growth. In adults palate expansion is really hard to achieve without an expander.

That must be it, but their description is kinda vague. I'm a slow 1 and have almost the same supplements, except I got vitamin E instead of iron. I can handle the ZMC plus better now since I am a slow oxidizer. I also decided to order 2 months of supplements, it is cheaper and more cost...

I've noticed that TEI says that the supplement recommendations may not contain any minerals that score "low" on the hair analysis, yet they are going to pump you full with magnesium. It is a big contradiciton. Anyway, it is good to reduce rice intake, I've done so as well. Getting more carbs...

I'm not sure, sometimes my muscles look fuller and scalp itch goes up and down. Also took 1 gram few hours ago and I started noticing prostate cramps, maybe more 5AR activtiy from the creatine. Still have to decide if I should continue, used about 1 gram a day for 2 weeks.

I have pure fulvic acid, used for detox cycles. I'm wondering, does fulvic acid also chelate 'good' minerals out of the body, or does it mostly bind to toxins/heavy metals?

That's actually weird because both should act in the same way, hold more fluid in your muscle cells. Any adverse effects from the HCL?

What do you think of combining fulvic acid with TEI? The Dutch TEI practitioners recommend it with the TEI cycles for better mineral/vitamin absorption, have some bottles lying around, but haven't used them because I'm not convinced and TEI themselves don't have fulvic acid in their recommendations.

I see, well the lessons we learned so far is that in the end everything should be used in moderation to stay balanced. The question is how much creatine would be safe to get the benefits without interfering with our recoveries, or maybe it should be avoided after all. I like the gym effects too...

Do you have a link for that? I'm not sure if I continue with it or not, I've seen Helen mentioning that creatine lowers progesterone and potassium, and mine is pretty low already.

Yo Rebel, still taking creatine? I am experimenting with a low dose, 1-1.5g a day. I think it reduces the brain fog somewhat and gives me a tad more motivation. I don't think this dose interferes with the hair results, because they recommend a lot of red meat in my diet, which contains a lot of...

I have tried k2 in the past and it was not for me, weird sensation in my bones and made my wrist and knees thinner, it probably depleted my calcium as seen on my first TEI test, low calcium. I think it is dangerous to simply add k2 to your TEI cycles and might result in incorrect hair analysis...

Lost a lot of bone in my face, does anyone actually know the reason and if it is recoverable at all? Been like this for years. TEI doesn't supplement vitamin K2 for example, so there's that.

Reading all those discussions makes me wonder how TEI/ARL are going to fix all of this receptor stuff. If all our minerals are balanced on a hair test, does this automatically mean we are cured? I find that hard to believe.

I completely understand that, and will follow you closely. Since taking FIN I've always felt low on all hormones, way more feminine, less masculine, muscle loss, bone loss etc. Only problem I have with the hormonal route is that it's still a lot of guesswork.
