you are not taking tei supps to make your blood hormones normal.
You take TEI trying to fix the reason for it, so your hormones will return to normal.

Same with their supplement suggestions. you are not only simply taking stuff that is low. You get things that are high on the test as well.

So for example just because your progesterone is high, doesn’t mean zinc is bad because it increases prog.

yo, your hair analysis is really interesting. how often do you eat calcium? are you getting 1000mg a day?

your hair analysis really puts some aspects of PFS into fruition, like the fact that your magnesium is so low in the ratios. it's weird, it looks like your magnesium isn't even that low, it's almost barely under the acceptable level, but the sodium to magnesium ratio is so high and the calcium to magnesium ratio is so high.

if you dont eat enough calcium it should increase stress hormones in order to leech calcium from bones so you get it. i know when you dont eat enough calcium, your serum calcium level is increased even higher, which is interesting though because your calcium seems low as well, but the ratio shows it is way higher than magnesium.

are you getting hair loss right now?

did you ever get blood tests with serum calcium levels? or prolactin/parathyroid hormone? i'd be curious to see your results.

edit: i just saw your post that your prolacitn was high. yeah that really makes sense, since your magnesium ratio is so damn low. damn man, that's crazy.

what supplements are you taking to do what?

@D4n do you find it pretty easy to take all that? Not really upsetting to digestion or sleep or anything like that? Sounds fair enough.

@MNK99 yes I take three times a day with meals, digestion and sleep okay so far. Only thing I’ve noticed is higher body temp

@HerrFisch yeah I’m still taking them. 2 weeks into supplementation now, I thought it could be cortisol induced

I get scalp itch off and on during tei. Just stick it out.

Did you notice any other symptoms like fatigue? What supps are you taking?

I have noticed a lot of us have similar zinc to copper ratios.

Still having the scalp itch?
I think youre right and it could be cortisol as well.

If cortisol is inhibiting the HDC too much, you get low histamine and high histamine reactions. Copper would lower histamine as well.
Thats why they added b6. To get you some histamine.

But maybe you are lacking Aminos/Protein esp histidine. You need that additional to b6 to get histamine.

So if you still have the scalp itch I would try to increase your protein intake.

@HerrFisch funny you have said that I have been using whey protein this week with the supps and not feeling the scalp itch anymore, I’m feeling quite down this week and got a weird feeling near my liver
