As Mac said cardio definately helps. I find the Hyge to be a bit stronger than the Jins when taken in equal doses get worse sides from the Hyges. I was in same spot as u..just fckn miserable...laid off completely for 3 weeks then titrated back up to dosage slowly and the sides were much less. Try 8 iu eod and see if that helps as well. For me eod reduced the sides somewhat. Good luck
