I forgot to add that I do already take manganese for a while, 5mg daily.

How long have you been taking 5mg per day?
Maybe you increased acetylcholine too much if you've been taking it for months and that's why you feel numb.

Phytic acid is pretty good actually.
Binds iron in the gut and some in the blood.
Also the body makes inositol from it which neutralizes copper toxic effects and makes bile more liquid.
Even if it binds some zinc who cares. One 30mg tablet is gonna be enough to offset 2 weeks of high phytate diet.

But what about arsenic.. I mean if someone is eating it twice a week it is probably not big deal, but 2-3 times a day heh..
Oats are great as well, but I think because I have leaky gut and issues with gluten. Maybe I am even celiac. Never tested.. I don't react to oats as well even gluten free oats..
Oats are too similar to wheat probably best to avoid for me..
Quinoa is interesting it has a lot of betaine which I am missing probably. But it is also somewhat high oxalate..

A bit on and off for 1/2 months now, sometimes 2.5mg, mostly 5mg. I did experience with 10mg manganese and 30mg zinc in the past due to Helens theory of it combating hair loss, but always seemed to lower my libido.

In my teens and early 20s zinc always boosted my libido, but since pfs it doesn't give me any benefits it seems.

I also tried histidine, like 10-15 grams daily but also no benefits really. I always assumed I was copper toxic even though it was low on HTMA's (also 4 lows sometimes). Always youth/feminine look, acne, skin issues, low androgen look, no heard growth or any body hair at all, hair loss, lots of light brown moles, anxiety, cold hand and feet (adrenaline activation? low dopamine)etc etc.

Not sure if I have any iron toxicity in my organs. Don't have high iron symptoms.
