Possible to brew without Ba due to allergy.

[TRTedAF69]

I Always seem to be inflamed from gear.
Could never understand why. CRP always in range but still meh.
So I was like fuck me.
Only type of gear I can somehow run is MCT because it acts immediately as a anti inflammatory with the BA. Funnily enough.

did you guys brew any gear without BA?
Do you guys have any recipes?

Thanks in advance!

Ba keeps the solution sterile. Without it you are having a high chance of infection. Rather keep the bb percentage low or even nothing. I brewred mast p 100mg/ml 15% and it’s smooth. Next round going to do 10% with 1% ba

So you can only use gear brewed in MCT? So the issue is the carrier, not the benzyl alcohol

What symptoms are you having and how fast do they show up?

They show up when the ester peaks. Usually this is within 18 hours.
MCT is anti inflammatory thats probably why I seem to handle that well.
Symptoms are bloating. Not e2 bloat.
Higher cortisol.
higher blood sugar.
Severe brain fog.

Hmm might give this a go.

Yeah. I have carrier oil allergies AND bb allergy. I homebrew using no bb but always the recommended ba. Now I use mig840 and still get a sinus reaction. I can’t even use mct. I’ve heard castor oil is the least allergenic but I dont know.

If you remove the bb and still have issues, try a different oil.

This is correct. Castor oil has the least allergic reactions as far as carrier oils are considered.

And it's anti inflammatory and mild analgesic to boot

I might try a small batch…

A well known respected ugl brand using sesame oil gives me bad sinus reaction

Crazy how we all react differently

Pharma ampules most of the time don’t have BA

If you don’t want to use BA, put your gear in 2ml or 1 ml vials so you don’t pull from it more than 2 or 3 times

I’ve confirmed reaction to bb, not so much with ba. I don’t think I have a reaction to ba and I’d rather leave that. I don’t want to risk infection

That is because ampoules are singe use
