Update: Another Crash
Had another night filled with adrenaline surges waking me up every other hour, even though I ingested it around noon.
Wonder if this increased the release of free-fatty-acids? That would explain the ED and tanked libido (increase estrogen).
Finally used 1G of aspirin (after trying 5G of taurine + juice without any results) to get back to sleep.
One strange side-effect: I had to drink a ton of juice/milk just to reduce stress, even though I wasn't at all hungry, but I never had any digestive issues.
Looks like I'll need to work on my blood sugar before trying this again.
I don't think it is an estrogen issue, it could be more of an intestinal irritation due to undigested fat. Try dissolving the SA fully in a hot liquid like soup so that there are no intact flakes left and then drink it. Btw, I get the same reaction from taking too much thyroid before sleep - I can't sleep and toss and turn sweating for hours.
