Hi @haidut : Today I purchased Tocovit to see if I can fix a small varicose vein and a damaged blue vein spot on my calf (from a minor farming broadfork injury) before trying progesterone. Although Tocovit has MCT, do you recommend adding some olive oil for better topical absorption? I plan to take Tocovit topically and orally. Any rather recommendations regarding this experiment? Thanks for all your help and great products!
Some olive oil may help as studies show that oleic acid has penetration enhancing effects but it is not much better than MCT so it may not help much, but it should not hurt either. So, no harm in trying and experiment is the only way to know for sure. I would rub in the solution as much as possible into the skin (say for 45-60 seconds) as that improves absorption noticeably compared to just gently applying it and leaving on skin as is.
