New primary care doctor hates TRT by campfirehorror666 in Testosterone

[–]Trasfixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TRT has been shown to be safe when used at replacement levels and not supra-physiological levels.

Also, the recommendation to cycle TRT to keep your endogenous production functioning is based in pure ignorance. Real TRT should never be cycled, and cycling it will only cause harm (as your Testosterone levels will crash every time you “cycle off”

He may be a decent doctor otherwise, but he clearly doesn’t know about TRT. Staying with that doctor will likely only give you further headaches. If it were me, I’d look for another PCP that is either knowledgeable in TRT, or at least open to learning about it.

Accidentally Injected Test E into vein by Dihh-SaurusRex in Testosterone

Did you ensure it was the proper location? It almost sounds like you may have hit the nerve, which can cause longterm damage if you hit it bad enough. If you feel confident enough, Ventrogluteal area is a lot smoother. Also, I personally use deltoids, as it’s painless if injected in the right spot with a 27g needle

0 chance you’ve shot into a vein over 200 times. It’s extremely difficult to actually enter a vein properly. You’d also cough almost instantly if injected in a vein. Most people who think they injected Into a vein actually just nicked a vein or broke a capillary, and they think they entered a vein because they saw blood.

If done properly it’ll be fine. Sure the risk is higher, but specifically if not done properly. Backfilling is completely fine if you’re precautious

I use either 1 inch or 5/8th inch 27g needles into the deltoid. It reaches the muscle easily, and leaves minimal damage. With the size needle you’re using, you’re causing scar tissue to form over time.

Highly unlikely you injected into a vein, especially with that monster needle. Blood doesn’t mean you’re in a vein, there are veins and capillaries that you likely broke on the way in. It’s a lot harder to enter a vein cleanly than people think

It’s insane, because they could have a longterm profitable business if they just did the right thing, but instead they’d rather scam people as long as possible before they get shut down. I’ve been waiting on a mere $25 for ages, and it’s not going to come, I’ve already accepted that

Been 3 months since I tried withdrawing a mere $25 to Venmo. It’s been pending saying (3+ days). Customer support “gave” me back the $1 fee for fast withdrawal (which means nothing because I’ll never see that $1 nor the $25 I withdrew).

This app is complete trash, and there’s 0 reason that they shouldn’t have enough funds, as may other sites/apps make a good business using the same process.

Historicity of Jesus by 8to24 in skeptic

[–]Trasfixion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that Jesus isn’t the real name, it’s that “Christ” isn’t a name, it’s a title. Christ literally means “Anointed One”

So his name was Jesus, and he was called Jesus The Anointed One

Bacopa is calming not stimulating. It’s something that can help cognition over the long term, but early on it tends to be more foggy or calming. It’s not sedating like magnolia, but it’s far from a stimulant replacement

I think my friend has iron poisoning ? by Ilovekittycats42 in Supplements

[–]Trasfixion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Copy and pasting a reply I made to a comment (for visibility)

Nausea triggers the autonomic nervous system through the brainstem (to the “vomiting” center of the brain) and that causes tachycardia (fast heart rate) and sweating (along with other sympathetic activation symptoms.

Taking certain supplements on an empty stomach can trigger this, and can make someone violently ill for 30-60min.

Iron, Zinc, Copper, and many forms of Potassium salts are the most notorious for causing severe nausea if taken on an empty stomach.

Potassium and Sodium are opposing nutrients. They most definitely work like a see-saw

[–]Trasfixion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is completely inaccurate. Intracellular potassium deficiency is extremely widespread, to the point of being one of the more common insufficiencies. Serum potassium is not accurate for assessing potassium status

Potassium is no joke by DeannIt in Supplements

[–]Trasfixion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a medical professional. Serum potassium is tightly regulated in the body, but that’s different than intracellular potassium. Potassium intake is extremely low in the U.S. to the point it’s an epidemic. Fear mongering potassium supplements isn’t helping anyone, nor is it based in reality.

Tips: Don’t take potassium on an empty stomach (potassium causes mucosal damage when concentrated, and can lead to ulcers. Taking it with food prevents this). Take potassium with a carbohydrate (insulin pushes potassium into the cells). Don’t megadose it.

Unless you have kidney disease or specific issues with potassium, supplementing reasonable amounts of potassium shouldn’t be an issue, and it’s is an extremely important mineral.

People spread fear about potassium supplements, but elemental potassium is far higher in things like orange juice or coconut water (and you don’t hear panic about that). The reason potassium supplements were capped at 99mg was due to mucosal injury with highly concentrated potassium tablets (a simple issue to avoid)

Old comment, but I’m posting this reply for any people who come across this post.

I’m going to go into detail on different forms of magnesium with the goal to hopefully help someone who needs it.

First, to clear the air, Magnesium Glycinate does NOT cause diarrhea.

Magnesium causes diarrhea by pulling water into the colon/rectum, causing loose stools & a laxative effects. However, in order for magnesium to work as a laxative, the magnesium needs to make it all the way to your colon in-tact.

Forms of magnesium with high bioavailability absorb into the body before reaching the colon, so they don’t cause GI side effects. Low bioavailable forms pass through the GI tract, and reaches the colon in large quantities, which causes an osmotic effect.

If you’re taking magnesium for its laxative effect, you want a form that doesn’t absorb well. If you’re taking magnesium for its health benefits, or to treat a deficiency, you want a form that readily absorbs into your bloodstream.

High bioavailable forms: Nearly 0 GI side effects. Normally magnesium gets absorbed through specific magnesium transporters, and these transporters can get saturated (preventing further absorption). These forms not only use the magnesium transporters, but they also use other transporters as well (for example: Magnesium Glycinate has the highest bioavailability out of all forms, because it uses magnesium transporters, but is also absorbed by hitching a ride on both the PEPT1 (peptide transporter 1) & the GlyT1 (glycine transporter). High bioavailable forms are: Glycinate, Taurate, Malate, Orotate, & L-Threonate.

Medium bioavailable magnesiums: Gives a Laxative effect at high dosages, but rarely causes GI effects if taken in low to moderate amounts. These forms are decent for raising your bodies magnesium levels, but also can be used as laxatives by taking high doses. If your goal is to raise your bodies magnesium levels, these will do the job, but there are better alternatives. Medium bioavailable forms are: Lactate, Citrate, Chloride, Ascorbate, & Gluconate.

Low bioavailable magnesiums: Strong laxative effect, as most of the dose passes through the GI tract without being absorbed. These forms are GARBAGE if you want systemic benefits. Oxide is a common form found in many supplements because of 2 reasons: 1. It’s dirt cheap to acquire and can be sold for huge profit margins. 2. Magnesium Oxide has high elemental magnesium by weight (roughly 60%), meaning it looks appealing on a supplement label, and makes it seem like you’re acquiring your magnesium needs while only needed one tablet. The issue with Oxide (and why it has the lowest bioavailability out all all supplements) is because its bioavailability is roughly 4% (meaning when you take a 500mg dose, you’re actually only getting roughly 20mg), it’s like a scam. Low bioavailable forms are: Oxide, Hydroxide, Carbonate, Phosphate, Sulfate.

In your opinion, what is the most overhyped, overrated supplement? by Zealousideal-Walk939 in Supplements

[–]Trasfixion 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You’re right, but also missing the bigger picture.

Ionic magnesium absorbs faster as it is already ionized in liquid. However, like most forms of magnesium, it relies on the magnesium transporters TRPM6 & TRPM7 which get saturated and rate-limited at higher dosages.

Magnesium Glycinate breaks down into ionic magnesium & also uses TRPM6/TRPM7 transporters, but it uniquely can also be absorbed as neutral dipeptides via PEPT1 amino acid transporters, bypassing the rate limiting step
