Hey everyone, I’m a 36 year old male, diagnosed with Hashimoto’s five years ago, though I’ve probably had it for much longer. My labs look great on paper and I generally feel okay as long as I’m resting. But whenever I try to exercise, even light strength training, it always ends the same way: I cra

I had no problem compounding different active ingredients with geometric dilution, but this is the first time I have to compound an api, levothyroxine sodium, which imply a very extreme ratio between active ingredient and excipients, because I need only 100µm of active per cap.
