That can be compounded. What's the dosage on hexarone that you typically prescribe? 100 micrograms. It's the same as these other like ipramoron GHRP6, 100 micrograms. The two that are different would be tesamoron. Ideal dose is 2 milligrams per dose, which is 2,000 micrograms, so quite different. And then semoron has actually a very broad dosing range, anywhere from 200 micrograms.

I've used it up to 3,000 micrograms, depending on your goals.

Yeah. And I think people are familiar with it. You know, some people are talking on podcasts about the MTHFR SNP. We've not talked about that on this podcast. So it'd be nice. Sure. So a SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism, meaning that genetically things don't flow as easily. Again, that's an oversimplification.

And, you know, you could be homozygous for that, meaning you have both genes making you, you know, influencing you more. You could be heterozygous, meaning it's just one gene. One copy from one parent. Yeah. Or homozygous copy from each parent. Yeah, you said it way better than I did. And so what that means is, and where we see that reflected, homocysteine is a marker we use, a lab marker we use.

It's an emerging marker for looking at one's cardiovascular risk profile. And so if one's got an elevated homocysteine, and elevated by some labs can be greater than seven, by most labs greater than nine, means you're at an increased risk. What that is, I don't remember, but you're at an increased risk of having a cardiovascular event, which would mean a heart attack or stroke.

And so we want to lower that number. And the best way to lower that number is taking ample methylated B vitamins. Methylated means you're adding a methyl group. So methyl B12, methylfolate, trimethylglycine, methionine. These are all methylation donors. which just metabolically and through your detoxification pathways in your liver is going to help you lower that homocysteine.
