    Noob here. I have read about peoples' success with local topical application (jaw, scrotum, varicocles etc.) of K2. I am looking for the most effective method for absorption. Could I mix K2 in coconut oil and create a paste? Would I be better off using DMSO solution? For reference, I bought...

    Ocular progesterone administration may treat eye, brain, and mental illness

    A few months ago, I posted a study demonstrating improvement in localized, ocular steroidogenesis by administration of a small amount of niacinamide (as an aqueous solution) directly into the eye. I think user @ecstatichamster may have already tried this himself and I think he even started a...

The study shows that dietary stearic acid is both incorporated into cell lipids and metabolized further...

    Dosage for topical vitamin D

    Hi everyone, It seems that topical dosage for vitamin D (may be even for all the liposoluble vitamins) is even lower that Dr Peat usually recommends ( usually 4 to 5 times the oral dose on skin). http://www.space-age.com/VitaminD-PGCourse.pdf
