Not sure what you mean but there isn’t an alkali issue due to rinsing? I’ve even done the rinsing process before with RO water with a ph of 6? Plus my tap water is alkali anyway, its just important the starting water is of natural source and i normally put a pinch of epsom salts in there as it catalyses the process.
i use a sea salt which is about 16% minerals but apparently the salt which gets the highest yield, in particular gold, is dead sea salts?. I’'ve done enough preaching here if your interested for more google is your friend..
Ok thank you von_phero. You’ve been very helpful.
Here’s some more info from studies stating that increase intake of zinc led to increase levels of DHT.
“The effects of zinc therapy on plasma testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and sperm count were studied in 37 patients with idiopathic infertility of more than five years duration. In the first group (T < 4.8 ng/ml; 22 patients), T and DHT rose significantly after oral administration of zinc, as did the sperm count. Nine wives became pregnant, six within 3 months and three within 2 months of a second trial. In the second group (T > 4.8 ng/ml; 15 patients), T and sperm count were unaffected by zinc, while DHT increased significantly. There was no conception observed. The rationale of this treatment and the significance of the results are discussed.”
And it is an established consensus that DHT is linked to hair loss.
“Testosterone converts to DHT with the aid of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Scientists now believe that it’s not the amount of circulating testosterone that’s the problem but the level of DHT binding to receptors in scalp follicles. DHT shrinks hair follicles, making it impossible for healthy hair to survive.”
