such an IQ. Be thankful.
:)
stuck on 4.5???
What is that.
Are you saying that ppl with an IQ of 125 seem to have problems with
DNB4 to DNB5???
Or TNB4 to TNB5???
I could be mistaken, but i dont think i have ever heard of
pregnenolone.
it seems it gets converted to progesterone???
I dont know about THIS particular substance, but i do know that taking
hormones in general can have tumor-producing effects (as in able to
cause cancer that can kill your arse). i think this to be more true
with estrogen pathways tho...........
it seems kind of 'scary' to take compounds that (prohormone) seems to
be able to be converted into several steroids/hormones.............
these can have negative cardiovascular effects.............
I could not find a single human study demonstrating memory enhancement
in humans..................
