• Porcini Mushrooms (Boletus edulis) (which are apparently delicious) powder is one of the best food sources (7mg/g).
  • Helios has it for $36.5/g
  • You need to make sure it’s high-quality if it’s a powder. JC recommends Mushroom House
  • You can also get marinated porcinis. They sell them at polish markets, or just on amazon for $15 a jar. Pickled foods never really spoil, though they do degrade
  • Water-soluble, so boiling probably won’t degrade it too much
  • They’re also mushrooms with one of the highest Vitamin D content.
• Swiss says it’s one of the best Antioxidants out there. Like CA but with insane half life in tissue+plasma (like a whole month). NRF2 activation and the like.
• BlueTorch says it makes his Candida worse, confirmed by lab tests.
• It’s almost like a vitamin. Humans have an endogenous orphan transporter for it (SLC22A4)
