“Fat stored in the lower body, called subcutaneous fat, is located just under the skin. Fat stored in the abdominal region, called visceral fat, is wrapped around the internal organs (e.g., the liver, pancreas, and intestines).”

“Below is a practical comparison of the delivery methods Derek mentions: Scrotal cream (compounded transdermal) How it works: A lipophilic testosterone cream applied to the thin, highly vascularized scrotal skin enables rapid dermal uptake and is often dosed once or twice daily.”

“Extensive epidemiological research shows significant reductions in cancer risks among coffee drinkers, especially for liver, endometrial, and skin cancers. Each additional cup daily correlates with: a 15–20% lower risk of liver cancer risk.”

“Vitamin A is important for the maturation of various cells of the innate immune system. Vitamin A deficiency can impair protective barriers such as the skin and mucosal layers, can impair the response to vaccination, and might predispose people to respiratory infections.”

“Other parts of the body may be affected, too, including the kidneys, brain, skin, and olfactory tissues. Evidence from a recent study indicates that SARS-CoV-2 infects pancreatic beta cells, increasing the risk of developing diabetes.”

“COVID-19 is an acute illness caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Although most people recover from COVID-19 within a few weeks of presenting with symptoms, some experience long-term complications that affect multiple organs, including the heart, lung, kidney, skin, and brain.”

“Robust evidence suggests that cocoa flavonoids improve blood flow, lower blood pressure, promote healthy blood lipid concentrations, lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, protect the skin against the sun, and improve blood flow to the brain.”

“Side effects, including intermittent skin and soft tissue infections, impaired lipid metabolism, elevated glucose levels, and increased resting heart rate, persisted regardless of dosage adjustments.”

“Laboratory studies suggest that the form of silicon used in this study stimulates collagen synthesis in cultured skin cells. Collagen is part of the matrix around the hair follicle, where cells help control hair growth and build each strand.”
