bone and muscle boosters

 2022.8.22: health/diet/osteo/hormonics/
bone and muscle boosters:

. one of the best things you can do for bones

is getting vitamin k2 to keep the calcium 

from being pulled out of bones by vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 doses need to much higher than vitamin K1 doses,

and I found only one supplement that provides a dose

proven effective in studies:

Life Extension Mega Vitamin k2, 45,000 micrograms of the mk4 form of K2.

fake news about progesterone:

woman claims Dr.Lee said you can't overdose on cream:

https://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/warning-about-natural-progesterone

[5.12:. in at least one book by Dr.Lee, he warned about
how easy it was to over-dose on progesterone cream;
and that you had to consider that too much
could have the opposite effect.
Dr. Mercola has commented on Dr.Lee, 
warning us that applying this to skin is not the best;
you should be applying it to a mucous membrane
(I've been using it nasally with good results).]

the first being the most preferred for men.

progesterone is equally a male hormone

20.5.12: health/hormonics/
progesterone is equally a male hormone:
wbur.org 2020:
"Doctors Test Whether Female Sex Hormones
Could Help Men Fight COVID-19"
[progesterone is an anti-inflammatory]
--
this news is promoting a common misconception!
progesterone is a female hormone? no!
. men's levels of progesterone are similar to
those of fertile women before month's ovulation.
