    Does coffee interfere with vitamin E oral absorption?

    Hey all, I take my vitamin E softgels orally because they're too hard to squeeze when cut open, but I take them with meals and I drink coffee a lot with my meals. Does coffee interfere with oral vitamin E absorption? Thank you

    Navel Application / Absorption Rivals Intravenous One, Skin Route Not Far Behind

    One of the most common questions I get from my readers is "What is the topical absorption rate of your products?" There are a number of studies demonstrating that a solvent mixture of DMSO/ethanol achieves close to 100% absorption no matter where on the skin it is applied. However, we stopped...

    Higher Fat Diets And Fat Emulsification Increase Endotoxin (in Obese Males)

    High dietary fat is one of the primary factors for increased endotoxin load, especially if the fat is PUFA. This is probably one of the main reasons Peat prefers lower fat diets. However, most of the studies on the fat-endotoxin link so far have been on animal models. This new human study...

    DMSO Potentiates The Effects Of Steroids Inside The Cell

    This claims has been made many times, and is even listed on the Wikipedia page. However, I have not been able to find the actual reference to back this up even though I have been looking for a long time. Now, thanks to @Wagner83 and his link to the "Cornell Vet" book, I found that study and I am...

    Dietary Aluminum Intake

    Enhanced Bioavailability And Tissue Effects Of Steroids Dissolved In Dmso

    Why It Is A Good Idea To Take Olive Oil With Vitamin E And D3

    Ray Peat takes his vitamin E with olive oil. He rubs it on his wrists probably. He also applies vitamin D3 mixed in olive oil transdermally. This probably aids in the absorption of those fat-soluble vitamins. But maybe there is more to it. Most vitamin E supplements are derived from soya oil...

    Does High Calcium Intake Deplete Zinc?

    There have been a couple of posts recently along the lines that "the Peat diet" was low in zinc and that high calcium intake would deplete zinc. So I decided to check what information I could find about it. My conclusion: A diet that contains adequate animal proteins from milk, eggs, and...

    Aspirin Inhibits Tryptophan Absorption From The Intestine

Unfortunately, there are few reliable methods of reducing tryptophan absorption and most people have to resort to simply limiting consumption of foods high in tryptophan. It would be nice if there...
