It doesn't seem to be common knowledge but up to 180% increases in serum testosterone levels took place in this animal study where the baby, adult, and elderly rats were fed with a diet consisting of 1% taurine.
180% is incredible!
This is the most detailed study on personality and intelligence ever done:
First, the Big Five: Neuroticism is robustly associated with lower intelligence, particularly processing speed and quantitative ability.
Few people know this
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, powerfully lowers cortisol, decreases estrogen receptors and increases thyroid receptor expression through SIRT1 inhibition.
Start with 100mg a day.
Vitamin A is literally used to turn cancer cells back to normal.
All trans retinoic acid is one of our endogenous metabolites of vitamin A.
It promotes the differentiation of cancer cells by activating retinoic acid receptors, turning them into their proper immune cells instead of proliferating mindlessly (cancer).
Up to 94% of patients achieve remission in studies with it.
Hashimotos and Vitamin B1
Doctors administered vitamin B1 to 3 patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
They hypothesized that vitamin B1 could help relieve one of the hallmark symptoms of low thyroid hormone: fatigue.
Guess what happened?
In just a few hours to a few days, administration of B1 drastically improved the patients’ fatigue.
Why is nobody talking about this?
Your tooth enamel are essentially crystals.
These repeating patterns of different minerals and ions.
When the mouth is acidic, these structures dissolve and the enamel degrades, forming cavities.
These crystals are composed of hydroxyapatite units.
What fluoride does is replaces the hydroxide with fluoride.
So you're replacing your body's natural mineral structure with an artificial mineral structure.

1–3g glycine with every meal has destroyed a tonne of my overthinking.
It keeps excitatory neurotransmitters like glutamate and aspartate from rising—reducing neural overstimulation that triggers anxiety and overthinking.
Take your glycine.
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) reduces plaque buildup in the brain, protects cognition.
Niacinamide works on several key features of Alzheimer's:
◇ PARP inhibition (inflammatory)
◇ Oxidative stress lowering
◇ Preserves mitochondrial function
◇ Restores defective autophagy
◇ Activates SIRT1 / reduces HDAC activity
which culminates in this broad neuroprotective effect.
Things that lower histamine
➥ Vitamin E
➥ L-theanine
➥ Progesterone
➥ Magnesium
➥ Negative air ions
➥ Thiamine
➥ Lidocaine
➥ Caffeine
➥ Diamine oxidase (DAO)
➥ Copper
➥ Vitamin C
➥ Vitamin B6/P5P
Things that elevate histamine
➥ Estrogen
➥ Endotoxin
➥ Hypothyroidism
➥ High parathyroid hormone
➥ Endorphins/ opiates/ opioids
➥ Calcium deficiency
➥ Hypoglycemia
➥ Polyunsaturated fatty acids
➥ High free fatty acids
➥ Lipid peroxidation
Many of these depend on the context, on why histamine is high. For example, caffeine or magnesium can increase histamine in some contexts.
I am more and more convinced that PCOS is rooted in nickel poisoning:
- Insulin Resistance: Nickel Toxicity
- Hyperandrogenism: Nickel Toxicity
- Estrogen Dominance: Nickel Toxicity
- H. Pylori activated: Nickel Toxicity
All important confirmed branches of PCOS. Substack to come.
Most people don't know that magnesium deficiency increases histamine, and supplementing to fix the deficiency lowers histamine.
DAO breaks down histamine, particularly in the digestive tract, and is DECREASED by magnesium deficiency.
140-300mg of magnesium is life-changing!
reason why i dislike taking glycine right before bed.
the vivid dreams you get from glycine is a sign of sleep that is less deep and tends to be less restorative
glycine is also excitatory for some
take during morning/afternoon
Nattokinase = a must for any cardiovascular stack
‣ Neuroprotective
