Peptide Q&A · Fat Loss, Injury Recovery, and More

0:09 Everybody, this is Hunter Williams. I hope you were doing amazing wherever you're at in the world today is going to be another Q and a video. So I. Hope you are as excited as I am to get through this one. As always, I attempt to make at least two Q&A videos per month, and I'm able to do this because I get amazing submissions for questions and video topic requests from my audience. And I love you guys. Thank you so much for everything you do to help support me, even if that's just viewing and commenting and liking and stuff. So thank you much again. I'm just always so grateful each and every day that I get to do the work that do.

0:44 These videos are made possible because you asked me amazing questions. If you want your question answered, head over to that link, which is down in the description of this video, where you can ask me any question and I have them set up to come to my email and put them all into a folder. and I put them on a document that I use to make this video. So thank you guys so much. And that's what we're going to be going through today. Before I jump into the questions, as always, if you want to, be able to message me and ask me questions. You can join the Fully Optimized Health group.

1:15 I also always book a call and all that stuff, but I always recommend people join that group first because we do live Q&A calls where you can come on and Ask JNI Questions. or you can message me directly and we can have, you know, we have a little one on one chat in the community where you message. So, um, that's the best thing. If you want to be able to ask me questions, or if you just have question in your head, do you wanna answer it? Drop it here and you'll probably, if not guaranteed to see it in next Q&A video. I've got some good ones today. And as always, check out Peptide Cheat Sheet, sign up with their email list.

1:47 That'll be down in description of every video, so, I got good one today, So let's go through it. So starting off first question, can I take bronchogen peptide for lung health at the same time as BPC and TP 500 for my neck? Should they be taken separately? Absolutely. You can take all of those at same. I see no issues with doing so. Bronchogens is actually a bioregulator. Um, so I wouldn't Those are very low, if no side effects whatsoever, but you can definitely take those. So good question.

2:18 Next question, how does SLU PP332 compare to tesofencing for fat loss? Well, it blows teso-fencing away for path loss. I really think tesophencing is much better as a cognitive enhancing agent that it is for that loss it does. slightly suppress your appetite. But in my experience, it's not that great, but tesofencing at 250 micrograms is amazing for creativity and cognition and burl fluidity. Uh, however, SLU blows it away for fat loss. So I would say I have used both of them together.

2:49 Um, But I'm not using teso-fencing for that loss, I just take it a couple of times a week for cognition at a really low dose. It's way better. Next question, will BPCNTB 500 interfere with beneficial scar tissue formation after an ablation procedure? I don't know. I didn't want to speak to that. But in a procedure like that, I wouldn't risk it. So I'm going to say no for that to absolve myself of liability.

3:20 That's a good question. In theory, it probably would interfere because it helps the prevention of scar tissue and everything. If that's something that, you know, specifically between you and your healthcare provider you need to address, I would probably stay away. Is CMAX typically taken as a nasal spray or injected? It is both. I'd probably say it's 50-50 from the people I've talked to. i personally like it as an injection better, but if you don't like injections, if want to use nasal sprains, by all means do it. You know I think injections actually, the injections work faster really enough, even though you'd think the nasal would work better.

3:55 But that is just my experience. Is glutathione spray as effective as injectable glutothione? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but no. I would, until apparently there's like liposomal glutethione in the works that is supposed to be as good as an injectible glutithione. But until that's happened, till that, you know, comes about, i'm going to say glutthione injections are better. Next question, this is really just a video request, but can I make a videos for treatments on lung damage and fibrosis caused by pneumonia and what peptides can help improve lung health?

4:25 Well, I would say KPV and VIP and dimethanol for one are going to help a lot. Um, if that was something that you did, but obviously, uh, for lung damage, I would probably look at like BPC 157, TB 500, and maybe even PEG MGF, um, to help regrow the tissue there, because those are going to really help with tissue regrowth. If there was, some sort of damage caused by pneumonia. Make a video discussing which peptides need to be taken on an empty stomach and how long to wait before eating after administration.

4:55 Um, I definitely could. That's actually a great, like in-depth video. I would say for the most part, growth hormone peptide you want on the empty. Anything that is working specifically to cross the blood brain barrier and have an effect such as a growth, hormone, peptid, because that's stimulating the pituitary gland in your brain. to increase, um, growth hormone production, I would say needs to be on empty stomach. I think all peptides should be done on an empty something to maximize the efficacy, but some are not as important as others.

5:25 And I'd say definitely anything. If your rule of thumb is like, am I looking for this to cross the blood brain barrier to create the effect? And if the answer is yes, absolutely empty, stomach, and if it's no, you know, empty stomach will be better, but isn't 100% necessary. So next question. Let's see. Does injectable glutathione interfere with melanotan induced tan or will it brighten the skin? So I personally have not seen that. It's a great question because glutothione technically lightens the scan.

5:57 Melanotane will darken the scans. I have used both and Melanitan still works to make me tan. Maybe it makes me a little bit less tan, I don't know. I mean, it's like, you know, It's been rainy here for the last few days, so I'm not like super tan but maybe it does maybe like mitigate some of the side effects, but I've used them both of them and still gotten tan from Melantitan if that makes sense. How much glutathione should be taken and how often The answer is it depends, but glutathione, I would say for longevity purposes,

6:32 you know, a hundred milligrams, two or three times a week. But if you're like really trying to amp up or you were trying heal disease or something like that, probably 500 milligrams a couple of times. So just kind of depends. I have a whole video on glutothione about that. If you want to check it out, that kind like explains like use case by use use. Can you make a video on peptide nasal spray specifically comparing dosages to injectables? Well, I could. Oftentimes the nasal-spray dosage is going to be like two to three times higher than the injection dosaged because obviously it's not being directly injected

7:08 into the body. So those are usually like in the same ballpark, but I'm not going say specifically for one peptides. I don't just take the dose and multiply it by three. Um, but I would say it's usually more for nasal sprays than the injections, depending on which nasal Spray. So could PEG, MGF be used for tissue repair after surgery? Absolutely. And it should be alongside BPC 157 and TB 500. Uh, for Tissue Repair after Surgery, that would be my go-to stack. Then also to could use GHK and a growth hormone peptide growth on itself.

7:40 Is there a peptide that supports kidney health? This was actually on the last Q and A that I remember a couple of times. Yes, it would be SS 31. So SS31 is great for kidney. I'm sure there's some other ones out there. There's kidney by regulator. Um, that also should help too. Are there any side effects to be aware of when injecting 300 milligrams of glutathione four to five times a week? Not really. I haven't seen that myself. Um, so I think it'd be okay. You don't definitely want to like do it overdo it crazy with glutothione, but to me that's not like going crazy.

8:10 But Hey, I can't say that the one will experience side-effects. Make a short video on TB 500 frag 17 to 23 and how it compares to regular TB. 500, whether differences or benefits. Yeah. I mean, there's like different fragments of TB, 500. Um, I'll actually just save that for different video. For the most part, you're probably good. If you were taking any of them, they're just different, like fragments and different strengths and like, different effects. But, um, uh, we'll say I will save for a lot of video, but I'd say as long as you have real TB five hundred.

8:40 should get some benefit out of it relative to not using it at all. What is the best alternative now that triseptide is no longer available as a peptide? That will be retichrutide, my friend. I think retitchrutides now, that I've been using for a little bit is even better than trizeptides. Is PEG-MGF suitable for treating ligament injuries or is it only for muscle injuries? Definitely, absolutely would help with ligaments injuries. So it would with both, it will help in muscle injury and ligamen injuries, but it definitely would. Does SLU-PP332 synergize with caffeine in a way similar to albuterol?

9:14 I'm going to say yes. So I think SLU, when you take it with caffeine, because I do that in the morning, I take my SL U right when I get up and then I will have my cup of coffee with Taylor on the porch. And we love doing that. I'd say it's not like overstimulatory, but it does. The way that caffeine works with albuterol is very similar to how SL you works without raising the heart rate because SL, you, in my experience yet has not raised my heart rates. Our pep has an increased metabolism safe with someone with tachycardia.

9:49 I'm going to say probably not meaning that like, you don't want to like shock your system and potentially like put yourself at risk. So if you were to do that, and I've not advising anything for anybody with tachycardia, but if he were going do, that you would want started like at a very low dose. Um, because you know, like if increase your metabolism, it could increase heart rate and that could potentially affect it there. Um, you know, I would say, You know take that route if you were ever to do it, but you should never do anyway. Uh, can you make a video on peptides that may dissolve calcifications to prevent or treat pre-existing califications?

10:21 Yeah. I mean, this is, there's a tricky one. There's probably like other things out there other than peptide. So it would be as good or if not better, uh, really enough, if look up a guy named Dr. Jim Laval. L a spit space V a L L E. Um, Jim LaValle, uh, he has, a lot of stuff around this and age garlic extract seems to work really well. So if you look up the supplement, you get on like Amazon or wherever age, garlic, extract, um, alongside citrus bergamot seems work well for that, but you know, there are peptides, BPC, Um.

10:53 You know like, Uh, SS 31 or true tide. All those, I think are great. This is a good question. So what I've been doing is if a video gets 500 likes, where's the slides? So the slide will be in the pin comment of the video. If a videos gets five hundred likes these slides should be the pinned comment to that video and also if you're on my email list I will send those out to the email. But if your video has 500 Likes the Slides should there in a link. You don't have to sign up with your email to get that. Just click the link and it lets you download the sides.

11:25 Um, what was your cycle dose and duration when using TB 500 and BPC 157 for a SLAP tear? So that's one of those things like I would use. as long as needed. Now what people say is like, well, don't I need to cycle on and cycle off? And the question, the answer is yes, but what is worse? Like needing to cycled on cycle or are you going to not get the benefits of the peptide and just focus on increasing the dose.

12:02 So I would say for something like a tear, any of these other injuries, the cycle on cycle off rule kind of goes out the window because to me, I'd rather increase the dos to keep getting the benefit from the Peptide than I will be so worried about like building up antibodies. You know, cause really, you know you could use those for an entire year and it's not going to like cause any sort of like negative reaction to the body other than it just won't work as well. Next question, what is the minimum length of needle required for an intramuscular injection of glutathione?

12:35 So I might get some hate for this, but people will say like you need a 23 gauge, one inch needle for glutothione because it's got to go all the way to the muscle. I personally use a 28 gauge half inch needle. Now, some people would be like, oh, that's too small. You'll never get it. But I use it and it is fine. And the reason is because I'm pretty lean. If you're someone that's like really, really fat, a 28 gauge half inch needle might not be long enough to get through the fat. So the answer is it's relative to your body fat Now the problem is if you use a 23 gauge, one inch needle, that thing hurts when it goes in.

13:11 So on the flip side, if are fat and you have like more skin, it probably won't hurt as bad as someone that is lean that's using it, but I'm pretty lean so I can use the 28 gauge needle and it doesn't But I would say that that's probably the smallest. I wouldn't want to use anything smaller than a 28 gauge needle. So like a peptide needle probably not going to work. And I've tried that before and it just didn't really work that well. Um, that is what I do, but I know people will probably like, you're supposed to us a 23 gauge.

13:45 could but I just don't need to because I'm pretty lean so when I do it into my glute or into My shoulder There's it's going directly into the muscle because there's not like a lot of fat sitting on where I've been jacking it But for someone that does have a a fat in those areas you might need a one-inch needle to get it all the way into The muscle Next question, what should SLU be stored in the fridge, or should SOU be store in a fridge or at room temperature? So SLUPP332 does not need to be storing in fridge. I keep it in my cabinet, just keep in cool, dark place.

14:18 Whether you have the pill form or the liquid form, but you definitely don't need it to refrigerate it. You don' need mix it, I also had a lot of people mess with me like, well, how do I mix SLOU or like what do do to get it? It's just a liquid or a capsule. So you just take it just like you would any vitamin or supplement. Next question, can you stay on SS 31, BPC 157 and TB 500 year round or should these peptides be cycled? For those three, I would definitely cycle them. With SS31, you could probably use it for longer in a smaller dose and still get good benefit.

14:53 But I would cycle them. Now you could do them all at one time and then moving into another cycle. So I like using all of those together, but it kind of depends on the dosage too. If you were healing an injury, you'd probably inject like 500 micrograms of BPC and one milligram of TB 500. But if you're just doing it for overall anti... flammatory purposes, you could use 250 micrograms of both for probably like eight to 12 weeks and not even really like have any like terrible antibody

15:23 buildup or tolerance build up. Same thing with SS 31. So I think it kind of depends on the dose. If you're doing 10 milligrams of SS-31 per day, probably only going to do that for like 36 days and especially because it comes cost prohibitive at that point. So I personally would cycle them, but it depends on what you're using them for. Because again, like my future brother-in-law has a broken foot and he needs to stay on BPC and TB 500 and GHK until that foot is healed.

15:58 What are TERS and RETA mentioned in your video? So that is Trujapetide and Retatrutide. Those are the GLP-1 peptides. How does SLU-PP332 benefit heart health? We are still finding this out, but my Early estimation is that SLU is basically an estrogen receptor or estrogen like receptor agonist, which means and by doing so that it increases mitochondrial output efficiency and overall function.

16:32 And in doing so, if we improve mitochondrial function, we improved energy expenditure and energy moving around the body, thereby helping heart health. So when they looked at it in mice or, you know, when it was being studied on mice, that is what they noticed. I think it's more of an indirect effect on a heart house, but it still doing something there.

17:02 Next question. Should I trial both TB 500 and BPC 157 separately to see what's causing my inflammation flare up? Or should I cut both and try a thymus and alpha one or morelin for autoimmune issues? So I guess what this person is seeing is a flare-up in inflammation when they are using those peptides. Yeah, I would say if, if for any reason that would be really rare to have like inflammatory issues, unless your water was contaminated or less,

17:35 it was just like from a bad peptide company. I don't know in this specific case. Um, If you have inflammation flare up, I would absolutely go to them as an alpha one first as like what I'd look for. Um, so I'll say like, go with that myself for one. You could use it for more. I don't know that it's necessarily, um, you know, like so much for autoimmune issues, but, Um. Also too. If your, if you're like getting inflammation from those peptides, uh, Thomas and Alpha one, KPV, VIP, and LL37 are going to help a lot with autoimmune issues.

18:13 And then also to look at your thyroid function and desiccated thyroid supplementation, if that's something there, but that would be really rare again, unless there was something wrong with the peptide. What is the best way to handle a situation where a peptide company's version of CMAX cause severe side effects like kidney pain? How do you deal with unscrupulous peptides companies? So that's a tough one. I would say obviously discontinue use immediately and probably discontinued use of anything from that company. Um, I don't know why I have really never heard of something like that happening.

18:48 So I dunno why that would be the case. But how do I deal unscrubable peptidies companies. Well, I don't really, because I get mine from trusted sources. So obviously I'm not going to talk about that in public, but you can be on the email list if you need advice or help in that regard. But obviously, look, this is a really good conversation to have because when you buy from a research chemical company, you are buying that for research purposes. They are selling that product to you and they're specifically saying, Don't you dare use this on yourself.

19:23 Now we all have to play the game, right? Like we, all know what's going on there. Um, so you have be a smart researcher to understand like what is going there? So you can't say that like, Hey, this had problems. Like, I want to sue you. They're like good luck. We sold it to you and said, don't ever use on your. You know, I'd be like, if you like bought antifreeze from advanced auto parts and went home and drank the antiferese and came back and like hey, this made me sick. Like, yeah, it's antifeze. You're not supposed to drink it. It says on the bottle, don't drink. Is ironic or like crack pods that sounds, that's what's going on with PEPPAD.

19:56 So like obviously you have to be a smart person. I'm not saying to listen to me, but like. take the advice of people out there that are putting their necks out on the line to talk about this and, uh, you know, like be smart about it. So, um, there's not really any recourse that you have in this case, other than to just say like, Hey, don't buy this to people that, that from them. And like whatever, but, It's one of those things that it's tough because I get it.

20:26 But this also brings up a separate point that I want to talk about, which is that like the peptide isn't always a problem. Sometimes the Peptide is the problem, but a lot of people say like, Oh, someone, I got an email today. Someone was like I took Reddit True Tide and it made me gain 10 pounds. And I was, like what made you gain like. What makes you think that Reddit true tide made, you gained 10 lbs. Was it retichrutide? Was that your diet? Wasn't your exercise? was it like stress?

20:56 Any of those things. And it's so crazy. Cause like, for whatever reason, people don't do this with like supplements. I think it was just cause peptides are injected. So they think like oh, this has got to be the cause of like whatever I'm going through. But like people take a supplement, something happens to them. They're like well, what happened? I don' know. It's like I took a peptide and it made me gain 10 pounds. Okay. Maybe it did, but maybe it had to do with your lifestyle and the food you put in your mouth and any of those things. So I don't know for whatever reason.

21:27 Um, and I understand it because like, we all have to look at like ourselves, like if it's something with my hormones or something like that, I have look it like what I'm actually doing, But it is not always the peptide. Yes. Sometimes it can be the pepsi. It absolutely can't be a peptid I am taking, it not, It's not the always peptides. So like before you want to like blend the peptide that it made you gain 10 pounds. I'm not saying in this case with this person that their kidney pain wasn't from the Peptide. That just sounds very rare to have. And maybe it's not so rare. Maybe I just, I haven't heard of it. It's talked to probably, you know, Jana at this point had probably talked and gotten feedback from like more people that use peptides than anyone on the planet.

22:03 If you'll confident, at least in saying that, and I've never heard that. So I'll not say it wasn' the pep company. They may have sold you sawdust in a vial and you injected it, However, I think when we look at that, like, people have the tendency to like only blame the peptide. They're like I took this and it did this, and was the peptide, it's like maybe it was, or maybe was your diet and lifestyle, Or maybe there was a combination of the two. So a lot of times what happens is maybe the Peptide actually increases your metabolism, increases, your energy levels and puts your body in a state of,

22:33 you know, sympathetic drive, meaning that it stimulates your nervous system to go into like overdrive because you were a corpse before, so like for the first time, You have energy and you have like a higher metabolism. And so like your body's going haywire and it's like, is the peptide doing that? Yes, obviously. But you're not looking at it like first of all, that's a good thing. Then second of. How can you make that better? Well, if you. Have more energy or if your like you know, like. Your heart rate's. Going up. Go exercise.

23:03 You know like for metabolism going up, go exercise, you like change your lifestyle habits to all those things. So. A lot of people will have a tendency and I get it. You know, like they're going to blame the peptide, but sometimes it's not the pep tides. Sometimes it is the person in the mirror. And that's what I try to remind myself every day that like, you know peptides are not hormones or not any of this stuff or I'm still me. I've got to look in a mirror and look at the choices that I make for everything. So it did mean for that to turn into a life lesson. But yeah, in terms of like dealing with like unscrupulous peptid companies, Not really like anything, you know, we can do about it.

23:34 So, um, will P E G M G F work for sciatica pain at BPC one seven and TB 500 haven't worked. I mean, it definitely won't hurt. There is again, uh, ARE 290, which does help with some sort of nerve pain. I don't know necessarily if that would work with sciatica pain, um, but you could definitely try it. Again, if we look at, let's look a PEG MGF in terms of a mechanistic action in the body, what it is doing is it's increasing basically the localized amount

24:09 of IGF to help, with collagen and tissue repair around wherever you're injecting it, So that's for instance, like why some people will inject it into their butts after they train because it's going to help with the muscle repair around that and make your butt bigger. If you're a chick and you want your buck bigger, um, so if that the issue, if sciatica pain is caused by a basically like deficiency in growth hormone around that area, which is not, but I'm saying like, basically what's a better way to say it?

24:41 Like if increasing growth, hormone and collagen since surround that pain will help it, then yes, it will. But if, if increase in collagen, IGF and all those things around it won't help. I don't know. Maybe I would, I will try it. There's also, again, like I mentioned, there's the peptide called ARA290, Which I have a video on that you can check out that should help, so, um, that's kind of the answer, But again it's, also one of those to like. You could try Regenivive. We've had a lot of people that have had really great results with chronic pain with Regenevive cream.

25:11 You can check it out at regenimax.com. So, hard to say, but it's worth a shot and it is relatively cheap considering compared to other peptides too. Uh, where can I order low dose naltrexone? Well, I can tell you that I get my LDN low-dose nautreXone from a place called Aegis RX. They have a very, very easy process. Uh someone, um, in our private membership group told me about that and I went and got it and it was at my house within a week. You have to do just like a little five minute consultation call. So that's the best place to go.

25:43 And obviously it's all about board and you can get a prescription for it. That's where I have my prescription. I will give you guys just a bit of an update. It's like my seventh or eighth week so far of taking low dose naltrexone. Um, I wouldn't say it was one of those things that you'd necessarily like feel abundantly, but I feel a lot better when I'm using it, And I think it's probably because it doing something with my receptors, uh, relative to the hormones and the peptides that I'm using to help improve my sensitivity to those.

26:13 So I so far have given two thumbs up to low dose naltrexone. Again, it not something that's like. You know, like overwhelming in terms of how it feels or like fat loss or anything like that, but it does seem to work to reduce inflammation in the body and enhance like the effectiveness of peptides at lower doses. Um, so I think it's really good for that. The question that is yet to be answered is how long I'll stay on it.

26:43 So we'll see, I probably use it for a few more months and then come off. And it may be, my guess right now, a lot of people say they're just going to stay out for life like metformin or like just get thyroid. Maybe that's what will happen. But I think for me, it's probably going end up being one of those things that I do for two or three months at a time, two to three times a year. So you'll probably in like summary, I would think probably use it for, you know, like six to nine months out of the year and then have six, or three to six months off of it.

27:16 So, so far it's really good. I like it and it has been great so, far. We will see how it goes. Last one I did talk about a little bit about this on the The thought here is that it would basically glutathione can lighten your skin and Melanotan can darken. Your skin. I personally haven't noticed like any difference in my tan when using both of those together.

27:47 But also too, it's not like I'm taking glutathione every day. You know, I use it two to three times per week. Um, and I've not always, always using it, depending on like how, um, treating myself in terms of like inflammation and stress and, you know what I mean? Um. overwhelm and all those things. So not that I know of, but it's a great question. I believe that is it for the questions today. Thank you guys for these questions.

28:21 They continue to amaze me and make me very happy to see the thought and the depth that was put into these questions. Thank you guys so much. Just in case I don't say it enough, thank you, guys. You literally are the best audience in the world. Again, I get to pinch myself every day that I All the things I do, not that it's not stressful at times, but it is very, you know, in terms of what I can do like a dream come true. So thank you guys so much. And if you love these Q and A videos, all I'll say is just leave a like or a comment on the video.

28:51 If you have more questions, definitely drop those in the Q&A box. Um, and if you, you know, I definitely see your feedback. So I adjust my channel to the feedback that I get from you guys. Um which is one of the coolest things because like I know what videos are making. I knew what to do because you tell me and then obviously too I can bring you more and more new stuff that. And doing as, uh, we're pushing the boundaries of biohacking and health optimization and all this stuff. Again, thank you so much. Uh, love you. You know check out all the links, submit your questions and I will talk to you in the next one.

29:24 Peace.
