Just drink milk at that point lol. Milk also contains potassium magnesium IIRC + vitamin a, d, b vitamins + amino acids. Whey also high in calcium just like milk. Although milk might be higher in carbs/sugars.
Anyways with b2 I notice there is a drop off for benefits feeling-wise. I know it's stupid to look at how you feel during taking it but still interesting observation.
It also lowers DHT I notice especially at higher dosages. When I take it for a while I notice same feeling as on finasteride but not as bad. When I take b1 I notice increase in DHT but when DHT gets too high you also feel like crap. This happens after taking B1 for a while in higher dosages.
I feel best when my DHT is high and then after first dose of b2 in a while (after not taking it for a while) so then DHT lowers a bit but not too low. B2 also increases breakdown of DHT iirc. That is bad if you are lower on DHT.
Very similar to how I felt better on finasteride. First day after first dosage finasteride I feel completely normal in all aspects. Incl libido. Completely normal. Way better than normal. But then I take finasteride second day boom, all benefits gone and feel like crap until like 4PM that day (I guess finasteride got lowered enough to feel decent again). I probably have lower 5ar in tissues
I am guessing a lot of PFS people already had lower 5AR tbh. But they might have been hypothyroid or something and lost hair. But maybe not as I also saw a lot of people with high DHT on bloodwork. But could still have lower 5AR in tissues and low breakdown of DHT (lack of glucordination)
I always done good on things that increase 5AR like creatine. But like I said when DHT gets too high because it's not broken down then I get even worse.
High DHT = fatigue, low libido, can't think of solutions in my brain, intelligence goes down, lack of empathy, lack of creativity - pretty much low estrogen! I think too high DHT causes hypothyroidism too. But so does low! lol Crazy
Low DHT = anxiety, irritation, insomnia, can't relax properly, depression, too emotional maybe, low libido
Middle = the good parts of both
The good thing about too much b2 is that recovery is fast. Within a few hours I feel DHT slowly going up again. With finasteride if you overdo it, it can take days before feelign better. Sometimes even 1 or 2 weeks
You can also interchange DHT with 5AR since b2 and fin affect 5ar. Low 5ar = more stressed feeling for sure and more depressed feeling
DHT pretty much I think is what allows the amount of effects of estrogen in the brain. That's why some transgenders they say they feel like their brain turned on when they go on estrogen and on 5ar blockers. They probably had problems breaking down DHT and got low estrogen in their brain. Without estrogen I notice my brain doesn't work properly. But too much also not good I found. That's why it's so important to make the body regulate DHT properly
I think you can only take b2 in high dosages if you have good 5ar production and good DHT. Otherwise you will feel way worse
