Energin - Liquid B-Complex Vitamin Mix

Any opinions on how long to wait before showering after applying Energin to get it all absorbed? It feels like it absorbs great but the yellow discoloration never goes away so I guess some just stays on your skin, for whatever reason, and don't know when it's just residue and doesn't need any more absorption time.

i think haidut mentioned 1 hour to be fine and 2 if you want to be on the safe side

 

Does this only apply to red light through eyes or in general ?
This would explain why i was having such a bad time with red light. Would symptoms be better if i went of of Vitamin B2 and K2 for a time to get a better chance at trying red light ?

 

It would have to be systemic exposure to have a systemic ROS increasing effect. Light through the eyes will probably affect the neighboring are only and maybe the brain.

 

okay thx ! waiting to try energin soon btw . I am going to report back on the effects and what I feel.

 

Good morning Haidut..how much of the alcohol gets absorbed do you think?

 

Not much to have an effect metaboically, and it is a tiny amount anyways. The 40 drops has about 0.4g ethanol which probably gets metabolized in the skin before even reaching the bloodstream.

 

It seems like that something in the new formula makes it impossible to get drops out.
I tried everything, shaking, cleaning the dropper, even if I squeeze it super hard, nothings get out.

This is a bottle of Energin: the vitamin crystals and water were there, and now a binder was added.

 

Perhaps you can transfer it to a toothpaste tube.

 

I found out that if I hold the bottle in a 90 degree angle with the earth, and then push, I have more luck.

 

This has to be featured on Ray Peat Painterly Science Art Gallery or perhaps Louvre as 'The vertical'.

 

Hey @haidut , for those who don't consume fortified grains, do you know of any safe forms to supplement the other B-vitamins not provided in Energin, such as vitamins B-5 (pantothenic acid) B-9 (folate), and B-12 (cobalamin)?

 

Vitamin B5 is in energin now.

 

As @Mufasa said, B5 is now in Energin. Other than that, brewer yeast and liver would be the best food sources of B vitamins. Lentils I think also has a decent amount but I am biased against legumes.

 

Lentils are loaded with Glyphosate, as are many beans...

Glyphosate in our Food II: Highest Levels in Legumes & Cereals because of Farming “Dry-Down”

Just Google lentils Glyphosate

 

Wouldn't organic ones and soaking them in baking soda circumvent the issue? I actually don't know if glyphosates are eleminated by the latter.

 

Thanks. I think at this point it is safe to assume everything commercially grown is coated in glyphosate. Even animal products now contains it as many farm animals graze on glyphosate-laden grains and grass.

 

@Mufasa

I wasn't aware about the change for Energin, and thanks for the info! I'm biased against liver.

That's disconcerting about the glycophosphate.
