So here's some of the results from my little experiment with a PES supp. Two of us did the experiment, albeit with slightly different supplement regimes
Brandon
Mine:
Brandon and I were both undergoing a low-carb ketogenic diet and, as he managed to dislocate his shoulder in football league, training was curtailed (also due to the time constraints of a divorce and moving out on my part)
Specifically, we ran Shift while taking two cold showers, one in the morning, and one in the evening. One tablet of melatonin (5mg) was taken before the evening shower to assist in sleep.
As you can see, the results aren't super striking, but considering the results and the extant time constraints and Brandon's injury, I believe they warrant further experimentation, especially where there is literature to suggest that T2 may have a cold-adapting effect in rats (yes, I know it's a slightly different compound and the rats were hypothyroid, but still, it makes me wonder)
