I'm posting about two things right now.
First, I'm starting noticing some return of tiredness, but it doesn't feel the same as when I suffered early stage liver toxicity. I think what might be happening is that I've been taking my thyroid glandular together with all my other hour-before-food supplements, and I just read that this can reduce the absorption of the thyroid hormones in the glandular. I'm going to try splitting these pills, take the thyroid on an empty stomach, then take the rest a half hour later after hopefully the thyroid has had a chance to mostly if not fully absorb, then wait an hour before eating... This means I'll need to fast an additional half hour over what I've been doing upon first waking. Doable. I don't think I could push this to one hour between each, so hopefully this works.
The second is that I am about to finally run out of the fish oil I've been using. As previously mentioned, this product was ethyl ester form, considering that this form absorbs poorly and has associated risks, and triglyceride form, while if natural it absorbs better, is androgenic, I tried looking at my options for a phospolipid form. Krill is WAY too expensive. Sorry all you krill fans, I just can't afford to use krill oil. However, I did find that my local Bassett's Health Food store carries this: http://www.nordicnaturals.com/en/Products/Product_Details/514/?ProdID=1654
~$30 for a 15 day supply? Yeah. We can handle that with the better pay from the new job and still afford to eat. It's not much more expensive than anything in triglyceride form. And yes, while the recommended serving on the product page suggests it should last 30 days, research shows that when in phospholipid form, all the benefits of omega 3 oils peak at a 2 gram a day dose. If I convince the BF to take it too it'll be a 7 day supply, still not bad, especially if there's two people taking it. I won't be trying to convince him, and I doubt he would even if I tried unless we made at least twice as much as his new job will be paying.
