Heavy metals in antiandrogen topical solutions-dangerous?

Dani_uk · Dec 21, 2008

Hi guys

I recieved my RU from FE today and I was a bit concerned when I browsed the data sheet. It says that the heavy metal concentration is less than 20PPM. Now that might seem small, but I wonder how damaging and risky that might be as it would be used on a daily basis. I am not sure if the actual value is near 20 but for all the other info they have stated the obtained values, which were much lower than the limits. For the heavy metal values they have simply stated less than 20.

Does anyone know if there is any safety data on heavy metals when used topicaly on a daily basis.

Hmm you bought some greymarket drug on the internet and want advice for it on an internet forum?
Sounds like ur one of us.

Ive seen chemical test reports that say <5ppm when there is none all the time...
But usually they say that because that is the detection limit of the tester.

20ppm is like 0.002% which isnt too bad.
ur gonna dilute this powder into liquid right? that would further lower the concentration.

Yep,

I agree that it will be diluted but I think I also need to consider two other points:

1. It will be used on a daily basis- so will it accumulate or be absorbed?

2. If I am using other topicals with absorption enhancers will these heavy metals be absorbed, and again if they do then back to the first question and are they eliminated from the body?

What do you guys think?

elimination depends on the metals in question...

At < 20ppm in something which will itself be diluted down to at most a few percent or so (not sure exactly what % RU is supposed to be diluted to?), followed by the relatively low levels of absorption of even the best topicals I would imagine you are at minimal risk - you almost certainly consume more heavy metals in your diet imo.

Ultimately it's up to you of course, Personally at that level I'd be prepared to give it a go... if it isn't working for you anyway after 6months to a year then you can drop it... if it is working you can decide whether or not to continue then.
