99% of doctors, gurus, trainers, health nuts ect... always push taking high doses of Vitamin D. What they don't understand is Vitamin D is something you should avoid taking. Vitamin D shuts off your immune system. Whoops. That's not a good idea. Why low vitamin D on a lab doesn’t always equal deficiency - you don't need Vit D as you might assume. A low 25-hydroxy vitamin D result often reflects inflammation, not lack of intake. - Storage D: 25-hydroxy vitamin D (what most doctors order) - Active D: 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (rarely tested) A high active D with low storage D often signals infection or immune activation, not deficiency. High-dose vitamin D can create new problems. When taken without cofactors, vitamin D can: - Deplete magnesium (required at multiple steps of vitamin D metabolism) - Suppress vitamin A (retinol) uptake - Disrupt potassium and sodium balance - Worsen fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and hormone symptoms in some people Vitamin D is essential but high-dose supplementation without minerals, vitamin A, and context can backfire. Low vitamin D is often a marker of inflammation, not a mandate to supplement more. Low vitamin D is correlated with high inflammation, which is actually driven by iron accumulation. Taking vitamin D3 supplements can exacerbate this problem Humans have more than a dozen different forms (metabolites) of 25D and the typical vitamin D test works on two of them.

Tadalafil source

Hello from New Zealand! I’m wondering if anybody knows a quality source for tadalafil? Most websites aren’t offering shipping to NZ. Cheers

Nattokinase

What do we know about this compound. I hear you need a certain blood type for it to be effective which is O positive. Maybe Tony had some valuable insight on this topic.

makes your penis fall off 😁🍆 Make sure you take a clean formula and not some Chinese supplements you find on Amazon. It's helpful to avoid blood clots and dealing with thick blood. Nattokinase is often referred to as a ‘natural blood thinner’. This effect is due to its ability to break down fibrin, a protein that forms during blood clotting. This enables nattokinase not only to counteract the formation of blood clots, but also to dissolve smaller blood clots that have already formed – an important protective mechanism against cardiovascular diseases caused by blood clots (e.g. heart attacks, strokes). When taking nattokinase, it is best to follow the manufacturer's recommendation. In most cases, they recommend 2.000 FU daily – a dosage that studies show is effective. However, this recommendation does NOT apply to people who take blood thinners or those who want a dosage tailored to their needs.
