thank you, got itis 7-Keto not DHEA
A study at the Minnesota Applied Research Center and the Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center in Minneapolis found that four weeks of 7-Keto supplementation improved immune function in elderly men and women.7 In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 22 women and 20 men over the age of 65 took 100 mg of 7-Keto twice daily or a placebo of identical shape and size. Patients in the 7-Keto group had a significant decrease in immune suppressor cells and a significant increase in immune helper cells. The 7-Keto group also saw reductions in diastolic blood pressure and an increase in neutrophils, the first white blood cells to respond to infection. The scientists concluded that 7-Keto was well tolerated and had no serious adverse effects.
A Czech research team discovered that 7-Keto can counteract the effect of circulating glucocorticoids, such as cortisol, which often rise with age and can suppress immune function.8 This study was performed in vitro on the spleen lymphocytes of mice, which were exposed to an immune-suppressing drug. Without 7-Keto, the drug produced dramatic reductions in spleen lymphocyte levels. However, when 7-Keto was added, cell viability more than doubled and a measure of primary immune response rose by 150%.
A study at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Beijing confirms the immune-boosting properties of 7-Keto.9 Scientists exposed mice with compromised immune systems to chronic mild stress for four weeks. The traumatic regimen decreased their white blood cell proliferative response and produced other abnormalities in immune function. Additionally, levels of thyroid hormones decreased. However, when the mice were given
7-Keto at a dose of 15 mg/kg of body weight, their blood cell prolifera-tive response and natural killer cell activity were dramatically enhanced. The levels of thyroid hormone also returned to normal.
That's a really high dose and would be extremely expensive.thank you, got it
the caps are 100mg, whats a good dose then?That's a really high dose and would be extremely expensive.
According to that study, 15mg/kg. You're about 87kg so ~1300mg.the caps are 100mg, whats a good dose then?
hmm yeah i cant afford that dose. alright im gonna get the probiotic and NAC first.According to that study, 15mg/kg. You're about 87kg so ~1300mg.
yup I take a buffered version of C, rose hips and all included. usually more than that, up to 5 grams a day. its water soluble so cant hurt. thanks tho, reps.You sound like you already know what you're doing, but if you already don't, have some extra Vitamin C on hand. Something you probably already have, but I didn't, and got miserably sick a few weeks back. I have 2 bottles of the 1,000mg caps in the stash now and I was taking 3g/day and they definitely helped. I like to toss in 1g here and there (while healthy).

The best thing I have used re immune system is honestly Colustrum - I used this when I was cycling and I never got sick when I was using it. The only downside was that if I so much as went a day withOUT using it, I often got sick just because of that.Hey guys just wondering what quality supps i can take for overall immune system support. i have echinacea but I want to get some more stuff...diet is full of fruit and vegetables, just want a little boost.

Sustain Alpha (topical).immune system aside, anyone know a quality resveratrol product? i also wanna add that to what im doing now
for fat loss and cortisol works better in people with high % of bfok im seriously considering it. is it primarily a fat burner? im already at a very low BF so thats not as useful to me. im just trying to jack my immune system up lol
thats a serious product right there, never tried a transdermal before. next time i got an extra $50
Really? I'm a big fan of topicals, and I definitely prefer the topical over the liqua-vade.thats a serious product right there, never tried a transdermal before. next time i got an extra $50
why? are there any reported side effects with either of these?
I just do, LOL. As far as preferring the topical over liqua-vade re Sustain Alpha , it's because the topical was more effective for me. No sides for me.why? are there any reported side effects with either of these?
8 Billion Acidophilus & Bifidus (120 caps)?
After each shower.if i take 2 showers a day (morning before work and night after training) when should i apply the topical SA?
so half the dose in AM and half in PM?After each shower.
