Dolichol deprivation theory

where can I get Ropren ???

Bump.

Is this all related to recent studies about unregulated androgen receptors? If so looks like people have been theorising on this far years.

I recently added spinach to my protocol and I just recently had a breakthrough of some of my mental symptoms, brain fog, anxiety, depression are gone. I can’t be 100% sure it was the spinach but the time frame does coincide so I am going to continue eating it, thanks for suggestion, eating about 5-6 oz a day.

I think everyone should be doing this because what do you have to lose by eating spinach? it’s good for you regardless.

Thanks for bumping this thread, it’s interesting, plausible, and has research behind it. The OP recovered completely by taking spinach too apparently…

Another thing, statins can give people similar issues as us as @awor and others have mentioned, and they are also known for depleting dolichol.

Additionally, anabolic steroids are shown to reduce dolichol levels. Perhaps that’s why we paradoxically feel worse when we boost testosterone?

So far I know spinach block DHT, why do we should to still adding to our diet food that blook DHT that in the first place is the rood of the cause of our symptoms ?

Why don’t you stop eating spinach and see if your symptoms return? If they do and then you resume eating spinach and get the same result, you’ll know if it’s that which is helping you.

I personally think spinach is unlikely to be helping you. Why? Because people have been talking about the benefits of spinach here for ten years and if it made a difference more people would be recommending it and we’d all be eating it.

Hopefully you just naturally got a little better and will continue to do so.

Confusingly, some people feel worse and some feel better. If spinach is blocking dht and is the root of this improvement then it doesn’t automatically follow that everyone here would benefit.
