4.2 Custom troches
The custom troches / lozenges are available from an Australian compounding pharmacy. To order, use the order form at:

Leave all “targets” at default values, unless your data shows a transferrin saturation above 40%, in which case set ferrous fumarate to "0" and review / remediate your cobalt status.
NB. LITHIUM CANNOT BE INCLUDED IN THE TROCHES DUE TO AN AUSTRALIAN LEGISLATIVE MISMATCH VERSUS DIETARY GUIDELINES. (Prescription only, unless <0.01%). Lithium will therefore need to be purchased and consumed separately. Oral absorption works.
Note and limitations
1. If you experience mouth ulcers / lesions / sores with use, pause for a few days and address your oral microbiome using eg. bacteriophages, antiseptic recipe and follow with oral probiotics in 2.2.3 Living without chronic dysbiosis.
2. The troches contain highly bioavailable nutrients which allow rapid changes to your energy, neurotransmitter and immune-related metabolism, where severe deficiencies exist. This can be unnecessarily unpleasant at the beginning. Starting at eg. 1/8th (or even 1/16th) of a troche, per day may help smoothen the transition.
3. These troches aren't overly palatable and are available to use as a suppository, if desired. It is suggested to avoid peppermint flavouring if this is your intended administration route, as it can trigger bowel movements. Troche 1 now has "vanilla butternut" flavouring, which is much more tolerable for either application.
4. The ferrous fumarate may cause a black / brown hairy tongue at times, if you have inflammation.
5. The ferrous fumarate may cause a false positive for occult blood on a GI test.
6. The ferrous fumarate and riboflavin will stain biofilms / plaques orange and/or brown. These can be dissolved by using a NAC + sodium bicarbonate rinse before brushing. See the 'gentle' antiseptic recipe in 2.2.3 Living without chronic dysbiosis.
