The best way to take supplements: rectally

[CCS]

If you take a supplement, either your stomach acid will destroy it or your liver will. But if you dissolve it in warm butter, chill the butter solid, and put it up your rear, you bet 100% absorption and skip the liver on the first pass.

Sounds great, but the new question is:
Are these supplements actually safe or effective?
What if they are legal to sell because they are counting on your liver destroying them?

Let's look at resveratrol:
What evidence do we have that it lengthens life? All studies done on it did not work in animals that have a liver. It only works on yeast and in cell cultures. Different supplements promise higher absorption rates, but none deliver. Now that I know I can get great absorption rectally, my new question is whether I should.

If there were any doubts that CCS is crazy, they can all be put to rest now.

Resveratrol is not soluble in water, so it can't be injected, unless I do an intramuscular oil injection. It just sounds too risky.

I thought of injecting green tea, but there are questions of purity.

Finally, all human evidence I know of had this stuff taken orally, where it is inactive, or it was done invitro. So I'd hate to inject myself with something some money making quacks have been pushing.

Taking it rectally will get it all absorbed, but I'll be taking a new route. I just don't know how safe it is. I also don't know what dose to take, since all doses on the net are based on oral routes.

There is no best way to take supplements. Some providers of supplements come from food sources and are easily assimilated. Some oils in capsules need enzymes to convert the oils to fatty acids. Some supplements are made from synthetic ingredients which don't break down well or assimilate in the body well. Some supplements come from minerals that aren't water soluble which makes them hard to digest and absorb. The best advice I can offer is to read the labels. Look for ingredients that come from food sources. Find minerals that are water soluble. Find multi-vitamin/minerals that are well balanced for maximum usage.

Well, I looked at all the links, and most of the posters on there, including some of the moderators, seem kind of retarded. Instead of giving good reasons not to use it, they just make several puns off it and try to talk people out of it. Makes me wonder if they know it is bad to get resveratrol in your blood, but don't want the secret to get out and ruin sales, so they instead try to encourage people to stick to the oral route.

The only argument given to directly answer the question was that maybe the resveratrol byproduct after the liver is still bioactive, and the actual resveratrol is not needed. If that is true, then why does everyone on that board, including the people making that statement, take huge doses of oral resveratrol to try getting some of it past the liver?

One other guy on there was thinking like me, and corrected those homophobes on their grammar. He said if they can't give him a reason not to try it, he'll just start with a very small dose and work his way up. I read that 20 mg is all that's needed for longevity, and higher doses are anti-estrogenic and immunosuppressive.

One person pointed out that when you bypass the stomach, you bypass the acid, and allow bacteria to get in. Fact: there is lots of bacteria already in the colon. And vitamin K and other nutrients are made by bacteria much deeper in the large intestine.

The only issue I see is whether resveratrol actually is good if absorbed or if it is all just a hoax and possibly will cause damage if absorbed. I do know that it is a poison to some organisms and is made to protect grapes. Our liver destroys it, though.

No chance in hell a I ever going to shove supplements up my arse, no matter if it works or not.

How about sippn' on some red wine or fermented grape juice, or eat red grapes and peanuts to get the Res. I agree that taking the supp. orally does little to nothing as I dont believe it gets absorbed well as many tets have indicated. Food soucres are almost always the best choice
