Cobalt comes from Vitamin B12

Gbold, I read somewhere that boron's highest density is found in parathyroid glands. Is boron required for the production of PTH ?

i think the medical term for this is - orthostatic hypotension. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthostatic_hypotension

m_arch,bro, how come copper is a sedative mineral if DBH which converts to dopamine to noradrenaline is a copper containing enzyme ? (noradrenaline make you wired,alert)

Chelating up to the point to become depleted. Long term copper deficiency starts causing neurological issues in animals. Also, copper bound ferroxidase proteins like ceruloplasmin is what protects against iron toxicity and accumulation in organs(gbold has already written about it many times I...

Wait, i thought copper being a potent anti-fungal will kill candida. I think he said that copper bio-unavailability causes candida since copper is kept in liver due to lack of ceruloplasmin and other carrier proteins. If you chelate copper too much, you might get myelin related issues.

Did you check your blood pressure while on licorice root and pre-licorice root?

The study you provided shows more of a biphasic repsonse, with 10 mg group actually having lower index of libido,lower number of mounts ,intromissions and other parameters compared to control and 5 mg group, so extra zinc clearly can decrease libido.

Have you tested your ceruloplasmin ?

"With help from cysteine all blood is gone" It's also very interesting that sulfur containing compounds/amino acids are good copper binding/chelating agents too. For example, zinc induced metallothionein is a very good copper binding agent(as well as cadmium too) and can act as an reservoir in...

This so called "Pregnenolone steal theory",hasn't it been debunked ? Haidut had provided evidences against it anyways, besides, low dose preg also crosses the blood brain barrier ,where it will increase GABAergic signaling in the hypothalamus hence decreasing CRH and downstream Cascade. Imo,if...

Well, there are some cases where long term estrogen therapy/oral contraceptive caused copper corneal depositions (kind of like wilson's disease where there is a lot of biounavailable copper),so not seeing any chelation here...

Why does exogenous estrogen increase ceruloplasmin then (it mobilizes copper out of liver to other organs) ?

Wait ,i thought copper increased estrogen which will in turn will increase serotonin since estrogen and serotonin always go together (atleast that's what i learned at RPF),also estrogen negatively affects the feedback loop between cortisol and ACTH (that is in presence of estrogen, cortisol...

Ray shared one personal anecdote that in his youth , he needed around 5000 cal but after he started taking thyroid, his caloric need went down to 2000-2500 cal . His rationale was that thyroid helps in more efficient ATP production and less wastage towards lactic acid. One other user(if i...

From what i know, a human body contains around 25 grams of magnesium vs close to 1,000 grams of calcium. Even if you retain ~500 mg of 850 mg ingested magnesium, in 51 days, won't you have way too much magnesium ? I have doubts on this supraphysiological magnesium loading (atleast for sedantary...

Hey Orion,since your job requires mental effort,are you able to concentrate properly on this breuss fast compared to pre-fast?

From Wikipedia ,https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myeloperoxidase . This is a heme dependent neutrophilic enzyme. "MPO is a member of the XPO subfamily of peroxidases and produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and chloride anion (Cl−) (or the equivalent from a...

Yeah ,it was tarmander ,he has type 1 diabetes ,he used betaine HCl and reported blood sugar lowering effects. In a recent post i remember him saying that he got dopaminergic effects ( like desire to learn new things etc) from it. Just be careful with possible low blood sugar if you are going to...
