I forgot to order Betaine from US. Would betaine hydrochloride be OK, if one put it into a vege cap or gel cap first so it gets to the stomach hopefully to avoid irritation??
Is this a way or adding HCL to the gut if it may be needed?
Betaine not available in Oz.....Betaine Hydrochoride is.>All of the ascorbic acid or ascorbate entering the stomach will be in the form of ascorbic acid after mere seconds. The HCL puts the proton back onto ascorbate.

Not sure what that would means exactly in symptoms.
My testosterone increased from 2.3 to 3.0 (range 1-4.5)
DHEAS decreased from 6.0 to 4.3..normal should be about 7- 8ish I think(doc reckons 10-12, but I think that's overboard).
The doc takes it herself and reckons it works for her, so I'll give it a go..at least once
BTW DHEA, progesterone etc are prescription only in Oz,
Actually just ordered it..got compounding pharmacy to use MgCl2 as a filler....I hope.
Hope that works out OK, if they do it. (capsules)Didn't you try DHEA? How did you go on it?
> An enzyme does not know anything about the direction of a reaction. It simply makes the reaction itself more likely. If what we conceive of as the products of a reaction are in high concentration, the reaction will proceed in reverse (relative to our thinking). What usually makes the enzyme-driven reaction go "forward" is that the products get moved away quickly, or used up. The enzyme is then "exposed" to greater relative concentrations of the precursors (raw materials in our thinking), and the enzyme goes "forward".
Thanks Lar, I've always wondered how it worked.
How's it going with you?Jan
