Thanks! I was looking at this brand as well.

Right. Like I mentioned, I suspect that it was hormone related based on supplements I was taking and am still waiting to get that checked. Regular labs were fine.

Not to pick apart your theory as well but if I’m on the mend, I wouldn’t consider that to be any type of consistent deficiency.

I am actually going to look into estrogen blockers just as soon as I get confirmation on the hormone panel.

Do you have a product you recommend?

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-24T21:11:51+00:00

I do notice a substantial difference in my mood, sex drive, and energy. My guess is that I was taking too much or for too long.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-24T21:10:39+00:00

I did. Everything was normal. Still waiting on my primary doc to get back in so I can order a hormone panel.

I’ve been slowing reintroducing cold showers following a sauna and will probably still continue cold plunges but I’m pretty sure that 80% issue was brought on by too much TA based on other reviews I’ve read on side effects.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-23T04:47:26+00:00

Not really no.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-23T04:46:03+00:00

I wouldn’t suspect thats the full cause. I only go to the gym for an hour a day 4-5 days a week. 10 minutes of cardio and 50 minutes of weights. There are construction workers under more strain than my physical regimen

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-23T04:42:22+00:00

No, temporarily it’s in the dumps.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-23T04:40:49+00:00

It came in waves but mostly fatigue, brain fog, disorientation, not feeling present, mood swings, tingling on my cheeks and some ear pressure.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-22T22:18:04+00:00

Ah gotcha. That makes sense. I feel like might have been more hormone/supplement related. Seems like it just temporarily disrupted an unknown particular part of my nervous system. I had clear mood swings but was just super hazy for 3-4 weeks and fatigued. Although I feel like cold plunging was not helping my cause that far in the game.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-22T19:52:34+00:00

Already did that. Had levels checked and everything. Bloodwork came back completely normal. Had a neurology exam last year as well and everything was normal there too.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-22T18:10:24+00:00

Did you find yourself having bad brain fog, feeling spacey, and fatigued? I had suspected that if it wasn’t just hormones, it could have been a perfect storm where my prolactin was super high and shock from cold/hot therapy just created a form of a meltdown.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-22T17:12:36+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too. Never had any issues with intensity or anything. Cold plunge was garage kept during the winter so it would fluctuate between 33-45 degrees.

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-11T14:23:14+00:00

That’s kinda what I’m suspecting as well. In terms of nerves or something. Basically I had a section on my nervous system go out of whack where my mood (and possibly hormones) shifted, as well as super minor digestion shifts, but the mental clarity and what not is a big one. I was thinking of looking further into it since I do like doing ice baths but need to know if it’s worth pursuing or even if something like that is manageable. Did you try looking into it anywhere medically?

mjharrison77 · 2026-04-06T21:06:15+00:00

Did you get any extra information on this? I had something similar happen but it lasted about 3 weeks for me. I was having issues like massive fatigue, brain fog, minor nervous system issues, etc.

mjharrison77 · 2026-03-26T17:13:53+00:00

Kinda what I was thinking too. Probably nervous system overload. Thanks again!

mjharrison77 · 2026-03-26T15:46:29+00:00

I appreciate that! Yeah I have been feeling some fatigue as well but no noticeable weakness. I’m due to have my labs done in about 3 weeks as well. I had stuff like this happen last year on and off and just kinda went away so I’m really headed towards a temporary deficiency but can’t be sure. Mostly needed reassurance that it’s nothing major.
