The Power of Peptide Therapies

[whitecoast]

Here's a quick video about the risks associated with a specific peptide, Melanotan II (MT II).

As a side note, this channel is a good resource as the author sticks closely to the documented research and gives a realistic, if somewhat sceptical, picture of different peptides; no hype.

Remember in Jay Cambell's book that Melanotan I was actually a better option than Melanotan II in terms of side effects, which is interesting since the former is actually harder to come by these days. One idea given, which I think comes from some black esotericists FWIW, is that melanin is an important spiritual molecule, which Jay agrees with on an anecdotal basis. It makes some sense in terms of increasing the proteins in our body, particularly ones which process light. Who knows?

Here's a shorter video on the benefits of microdosing GLP-1 agonist peptides from Dr. Kristi Sawicki. I like her videos; she's a cancer researcher with decades of experience in research so she's quite good at parsing the studies.

It looks like RFK is pulling through. It appears that this year the FDA will be reversing a 2023 crackdown on fourteen peptides.

• BPC-157: Stimulates healing of soft tissues like tendons, ligaments, and the gut lining.
• Thymosin Alpha-1: Enhances immune system response and helps the body fight infections.
• TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment): Promotes cell migration and tissue repair, often used for injury recovery.
• AOD-9604: A modified growth hormone fragment designed to stimulate fat burning and weight loss.
• Ipamorelin: A growth hormone secretagogue used to stimulate the pituitary gland to release natural growth hormone.
• CJC-1295: Often used with Ipamorelin to increase plasma growth hormone levels for muscle growth and fat loss.
• GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide): Promotes collagen production and skin regeneration; used for anti-aging and wound healing.
• Semax: A neuropeptide used for neuroprotection, cognitive enhancement, and ADHD management.
• Selank: An anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) peptide that also provides cognitive and immune system benefits.
• Kisspeptin-10: Triggers the release of hormones that stimulate testosterone production and reproductive health.
• KPV: A potent anti-inflammatory peptide often used for skin conditions and gut inflammation.
• MOTS-c: Regulates metabolic functions and may improve exercise capacity and insulin sensitivity.
• Epitalon: Studied for its potential to regulate the pineal gland and slow biological aging processes.
• DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide): Used to help manage sleep disorders and emotional stress.

Here's a shorter video on the benefits of microdosing GLP-1

You know, I talked to my NP about microdosing a GLP-1 last week, and she was/is supposed to get back to me. Tonight I saw someone in my "conspiracy" reels on FB ask, "what if they are putting the same stuff into GLP-1s that they put in the vaccine, and that's how they can get the rest of the people to take it?" There are so many places on-line (like Ro and HERS) advertising GLP-1s without a prescription, and people are flocking to them, everyone wants to lose weight the "easy way."

May be nothing to it, but stopped me cold.

You can get GLPs from reputable compounding pharmacies that publish their test results, you can also send them to a lab yourself. They sell them in lyophilized powder (freeze dried) form, and then you have to re-constitute it with bacteriostatic water. That way, there’s less meddling, and it’s hundreds of times cheaper. I’ve microdosed it and have shown others (educational research of course…)how to microdose it themselves with great results.

Kind of going on a tangent but here I go.. the way to use them is very small pulses/doses to increase insulin sensitivity/increase glucose delivery to cells (while eating a healthy diet heavier in protein because you are weightlifting) and decreases impulsive eating or over eating, and cycling off of it to prevent receptor desensitization, which could lead to horrible relapse, hence the people getting fat as hell again because they’re administering 12+mg a week… crazy.

Anyway these things work wonders when used correctly and synergistically with an already (or transitioning) healthy lifestyle.


Personally. I used a variety of peptides already and have had incredible results. Will post on that soon.

I would be getting it through the NP, I believe she said tirzepatide and it was about $399/month but at microdosing that should last me two to two and a half months. I know you can get it cheaper through some of those on-line places but I'd rather work with someone I know. She said I'd have to buy my own syringes, do you have any recommendations of where to get them and which ones? I'm not looking forward to giving myself a shot.

@Mrs. Peel
You can get them on Walgreens/cvs, online diabetics supply like diabeticwarehouse.org, or Amazon. I’d recommend a 31 gauge,5/16 .5ml syringe. It’s a very skinny needle and don’t worry, subcutaneous injects don’t really hurt. Even if you have sensitive skin, GLPs generally don’t sting or hurt either.

I have some studying on BPC-157 to help my poor shoulders, and mentally prepared myself for injections, but does anybody have a good source in the US in terms of purity and also credibility? From what I can see online, none of the companies make me feel secure spending my monies there.

Another alternative could be autologous blood injections - inject 5ml of your own blood deep into the muscles of your affected shoulder.

Years ago I had tendinitis of the ellbow and nothing would get rid of it. At the end I was barely able to lift a mug. An orthopaedic doctor advised me to try blood injections - and it worked wonders. I did one injection every two weeks, and after around 3-5 injections the pain was gone (I developed the same condition not only in the other ellbow, but also in one of my Achilles tendons - all cured with blood injections).

The way it supposedly works: There are indications that our own blood carries pluripotent stem cells, which seem to rebuild injured tissues, coupled with a inflammation reaction that occurs directly after injection which helps to ‘focus/ stimulate’ the stem cells into action.

You can use Jay campbell’s co founded https://biolongevitylabs.com/ . It’s more expensive but you’ll get the quality you want. I have purchased from there when I first started.

Personally, I currently buy from penguin peptides. They have great transparency and customer service. BPC-157 is famously known for working well with TB500. You can get blends that come together already. A good well spent research if you’re curious.

Honestly in my experience using peptides, which includes third party tested products that I have used myself, I have never seen an "impure" blend. I am sure it happens, but the reality is these companies are losing credibility if they cannot produce a clean product. We have these products on the clear net now, this isnt the silk road in 2011. The ratings systems work very well for things like this. These companies mostly come from China(or get their product there) who have every intent of dishing out good product for the most case. They want repeat customers, they want good reviews, they want customers using Janoshik and other third party testers to submit COA's for their product. It all winds down to them making more money. Any impurities are going to be accidental vs intentional. Every COA I have ever seen that was user/customer submitted has come back with purity levels over 98%, most cases 99%.

I mean absolutely no offense here but I am not paying 150 CAD/100 USD for a 10 MG vial of BPC-157 when I can get it for a fraction of the price directly from China. Not in this current iteration of the economy.

I will also say that in my anecdotal experience, taking bigger doses of peptides makes them much more effective. One example is SS31, which was one of the ones the C's said was good for people.. some of the studies done on this peptide have had dosages at 40 MG / day. This is obviously extreme but when I first tried SS31, the 1 MG / day protocol I started doing really wasn't doing too much. Then I tried 5 MG /day and the results were incredible. The same went for BPC-157, the same went for GHK- CU. So with this being said, unless you are wealthy, you are going to be needing to find direct sources from China to get to appropriate dosage levels. I actually think the reason that people are mostly taking low/micro/maintenance dosages is specifically because of the cost.

I have injected BPC-157 directly in to my shoulders. It helped. That's another thing that seems to be a matter of debate. Spot injections vs general injections. For BPC, for me, spot injections seemed to be significantly more effective. I have injected in to my chest, my solar plex, my shoulders, my wrists, my ankles, sprayed it in to my mouth, these all seemed to be more effective than a general injection in to the belly fat.

All just my opinion and anecdotes, but wanted to share my experience. Not an expert on peptides by any means.
