Peptide Q&A · July 2025

2026-03-29 · 1:04:10 · 8 min read

It's been about two months since the last Q&A, and the question box is overflowing. My theory is that for every one question someone submits, there are probably 5,000 to 10,000 other people thinking the exact same thing. So let's get through as many as I can. No agenda today, just answers.

Nicotine for autoimmune health and energy

I haven't done a video on nicotine, but I am a proponent of it at low doses. The difference between a pill and a poison is the dosage.

I keep 2 mg nicotine gum at my desk. The average cigarette has around 12 mg, so 2 mg is small. I'll use it in the afternoon when I need to focus on something demanding. I don't do it every day.

Caffeine is my morning ritual with Taylor. Nicotine is my afternoon pick-me-up. There does seem to be benefit for autoimmune health, especially combined with methylene blue, but I haven't dug into the mechanism.

Honestly, there are better options. Theacrine works better for me as a nootropic. Injectable choline and carnitine together feels even stronger. So nicotine is fine, just not what I'd reach for first.

Heart health for someone with prior heart attacks

If your father has had multiple heart attacks by 54, you want to be aggressive about prevention.

I'd look at low-dose retatrutide, plus the bioregulator Cardiogen. Vesugen is also great for blood vessel health since it helps clear inflammation from blood vessels.

Heart disease almost always traces back to insulin resistance and inflammation. Retatrutide hits both of those, which is why it's one of the best longevity drugs out there.

Rapamycin

I think rapamycin is good. I've never used it. I probably won't until my late forties or early fifties, and even then at a low dose.

Rapamycin was originally an immunosuppressant for transplant patients. They noticed longevity benefits, started testing in mice, and found it basically induces a fasted state in the body.

Here's my issue. I don't want my body in a fasting state all the time. I want to build muscle, have energy, and live a life. There are pros and cons, but more pros if you're smart with dosing.

Stacking AOD, tesofensine, and retatrutide

All three are fine to take together.

In my experience, AOD only really gives me a benefit if I take it right before fasted cardio. I don't notice enhanced fat loss otherwise. Some people say it reduces water retention from growth hormone peptides. Retatrutide is going to be king at the end of the day.

Cycling tesofensine

Yes, I cycle tesofensine. Eight weeks on, eight weeks off is my usual.

We have a new tesofensine blend with magnesium threonate and taurine to buffer the excitatory effect on neurotransmitters. Start really low, like 125 mcg. For me, 250 mcg every other day is the sweet spot since it has a long half-life.

I don't cycle desiccated thyroid.

HGH for women vs IPA/CJC

Growth hormone is the gold standard. No question. But IPA and CJC have a place.

Women under 50 can run eight weeks of IPA/CJC, then eight weeks of growth hormone, and rotate. After 55, growth hormone is going to be the move.

For microdosing growth hormone, 1 to 2 IU per day, five days a week, taken at night, works really well for fat loss, anti-aging, and muscle building.

Thyreogen dosing

Two capsules in the AM, two in the PM. That's 120 capsules over a 30-day cycle, so grab two 60-count boxes.

Smaller individuals can get away with one in the morning and one in the evening. I take desiccated thyroid already, so I don't notice a huge difference, but my energy is great when I cycle it.

Husband feels sick after starting TRT

Some guys go through a metabolic adjustment phase when starting testosterone. You ramp up the nervous system, deplete minerals faster, and burn more calories. That's a stress response, and stress can temporarily weaken the immune system.

Think of it like the old keto flu. Electrolyte imbalances, mineral depletion, feeling off. Push fluids and minerals, and it usually passes.

Rebuilding muscle after GLP-1 weight loss

Yes, follow the typical HGH peptide and workout protocol. You can absolutely use HGH peptides while on a GLP-1 at the same time.

But here's where most people miss the boat. After 40, most people will not retain or build the muscle they want without testosterone. That's the part nobody wants to hear.

SS-31 with senolytics caused fatigue

I've heard of people getting tired from SS-31 alone, especially early on. Your body is shifting into a repair phase, similar to how training is good for you but you feel beat up after.

Most people feel energetic on SS-31, but combine it with a senolytic stack and you can definitely feel wiped for a few days.

Melanotan-1 startup dose

You can run 500 mcg per day for one to two weeks to build a base tan, then drop to once or twice a week for maintenance.

You still need some sun exposure to activate it. Even 30 minutes a day works. If you're pale, you'll definitely need more exposure. Don't expect to sit inside all day and tan.

Lupus and prostate health

For prostate issues, run 2 mg of Prostomax and 2 mg of Vesalut every day for 30 to 60 days. Add 5 to 10 mg of Cialis daily for BPH.

I'm collecting field reports on this protocol. If you've used it, drop a comment.

70-year-old woman with Hashimoto's, COVID aftermath, gut issues

Testosterone first, always. Then thymosin alpha-1, plus Thymagen or Thymalin. If budget allows, add BPC-157, TB-500, and KPV. That stack is going to do massive work for someone with Hashimoto's.

Allergies and a prednisone alternative

Thymosin alpha-1, Thymalin or Thymagen, and KPV all do well. Add a microdose of a GLP-1. That's where I'd start.

If you're getting hammered with pollen daily, peptides will only do so much.

Should non-PED users take metformin?

Yes. Everyone can benefit from metformin. I'm probably overdue for an updated video on it.

In 2025 there's still emerging data on how good metformin is. You don't need 2 grams a day. 500 mg works fine.

Metformin is one of the most polarizing drugs out there for some reason. If you're against it, just try it for a month or two and stop. There are plenty of things I've tried that I don't think did anything for me, and I just stop using them. I don't go online ranting about sermorelin because it didn't do much for me. I just don't use it.

GLP-1 microdosing benefits

Microdosing lets you stay on longer without receptor desensitization. You might not feel anything until you stop and realize how much it was doing.

I've run 1 mg per week of retatrutide, split into three shots, for four to five months without coming off. The appetite suppression and inflammation suppression were happening the whole time, even when I didn't notice.

I take two to three months off per year at four to six week intervals. Cagrilintide can fill the gap during off cycles since it hits a different receptor. Some people love Cagri, some hate it. My wife thinks it's the worst thing ever.

Stacking MetaShred with 5-Amino-1MQ

Absolutely fine. BAM15, SLU-PP-332, and 5-Amino-1MQ together. I run that regularly. Just cycle periodically.

Peptides for elderly and post-bypass patients

For a 70-year-old male smoker post-bypass, BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and Bronchogen are all good for inflammation. Cardiogen is huge after bypass surgery because it works on heart tissue inflammation. Add Chonluten for the lungs.

Rhabdomyolysis recovery

SS-31 would do massive work here. Probably 5 to 10 mg per day. SS-31 just seems to work really well on the kidneys. The Kidney bioregulator is also worth adding.

Overactive bladder and getting desiccated thyroid

For desiccated thyroid in the US, I've heard good things about telyrx.com. No affiliation, just a tip.

For overactive bladder in women, Mirabegron at 50 to 100 mg per day works well. You can source it from offshore pharmacies.

Cardilax in the face

Someone accidentally injected a full vial of Cardilax into their face during a meso injection session and reported plumper skin, smile lines gone, smoother under-eyes. I haven't tried it, but Cardilax signals a more youthful state in cartilage. We have cartilage in the face, so it tracks.

If you want to experiment, use a peptide pen with a small mm needle and know what you're doing.

DADA

DADA is not a peptide. It's a separate compound that boosts exercise performance. You feel like you can train forever.

50 to 100 mg intramuscular into the muscle you're training pre-workout. It absolutely works. I have three bottles in my pantry, I just need to remember to inject it.

Old injuries (Wolverine stack 3.0)

BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, Cardilax, and PEG-MGF.

500 mcg of BPC-157 and TB-500, 2 mg of GHK-Cu, 2 mg of Cardilax, and around 300 mcg of PEG-MGF.

Coming off SSRIs while on peptides

Peptides can help. A lot of people end up on SSRIs because they have systemic inflammation, which causes depression. Address the inflammation, and the depression often lifts.

Be smart about the taper, but there's hope on the other side.

My honest take on Kyzatrex

Kyzatrex is oral testosterone undecanoate that goes through the lymphatic system, so it bypasses the liver. Better than nothing? Yes. Equal to injectable testosterone? Not even close.

I've talked to countless men who switched from Kyzatrex to injectable and said the difference was profound. They'd never go back.

Some TRT clinics push Kyzatrex because they make more money on it. Same thing with pellets. Doctors make way more on a pellet insertion since it's a surgical procedure, but injectables outperform them every time.

If you want to use Kyzatrex, be my guest. I just don't want guys thinking it's the ceiling.

DMAA and clenbuterol

Not a fan. Never used either.

We have albuterol, BAM15, SLU-PP-332, and CMS-01 (an AMPK activator). You don't need clenbuterol. Bodybuilders are going to keep using it, and that's fine. We just have better tools now.

Female voice deepening on TRT

At 2.5 mg of dissolvable tablet daily, you're probably not getting much benefit and probably won't have voice changes either.

Taylor uses 10 mg per week of injectable testosterone. She doesn't have a man voice. People aren't mistaking her for a guy. It's about finding your dose and your tolerance.

L-carnitine dosing clarification

If a bottle says 600 mg, that's 600 mg per milliliter. So 1 mL gets you 600 mg, and 0.5 mL on an insulin syringe (50 units) gets you 300 mg. That's how it works for almost every company I'm affiliated with.

Protein on fasting days

I don't worry about it. I get protein in on training days and still retain muscle.

Sugar fasting (or fruit fasting, which is a better term) can fill the gap and help spare muscle during the windows where you're not eating much else.

Bronchogen and Chonluten together

Yes. 2 mg of each per day for chronic lung issues.

Yes, my father-in-law's COPD is better. Terrence, if you're watching, I'm calling you out. He won't exercise, won't change his lifestyle, and works at a golf course where they spray pesticides everywhere. Pesticides are nasty. They build up and cause lung problems and allergies.

Even still, Bronchogen, TB-500

Full transcript click any paragraph to jump video

Hey everybody, this is Hunter Williams. I hope you're doing amazing wherever you were at in the world. Today is a much needed updated Q&A video. So if you don't know by now, pretty much in every video description and then every email I send out to my email list, I have a link that's called really my question box. And I just view that as a forum to where you can submit any question to me. What I do is I keep all of those questions. on a Google Doc, and I use them for these Q&A videos. So I think the last one I did, because I have it marked on my calendar, was actually in May, so it's been about two months.

I usually try to do at least one of these per month to just update and go through those questions. so I Have no agenda today other than to get through as many of These questions as possible. Now I do parse through these to make sure that some are useful or just some aren't questions that I've answered a thousand times because a lot of times people just submit a question. Hey, can you do a video on how to reconstitute peptides? while I've done a video on that. So there's a lot of topics I have done video one. What I'm just going to do is pull up this Google Doc, go through some of the ones that I parsed out.

I do have a of them, so if I get through those, I am just gonna keep going. If I did have little bit of delay, it's just be me doing that, but hopefully this is good video to listen to while you're driving, to cardio to or anything like that hopefully it is informative, educational and helps you in your life and in you peptide slash optimization journey. So I'm just going to pull these up real quick. And I don't share the screen on these just because it would be too much and I think you guys would actually be able to see it.

Let's do this. There we go. So make sure I can read it and let's get into it. Again, it's going to be free flowing and hopefully informative because my, I guess I wouldn't call it a law, but my theory is that for every one question that gets asked to me, there's probably, 5 to 10,000 people out there that are thinking that exact moment or thinking of that question at this moment in time.

So let's get into it. First one is going to be, have you done any videos or interviews on low dosing nicotine for autoimmune health and energy? Starting to see a lot of info come out and thought you guys might have some insight. I actually haven't, I don't have any videos on my channel about nicotine, although I am a proponent of it. Now, as with everything, the difference between a pill and a poison is the dosage. So for me, like I keep some nicotin gum right here at my desk, and these are like little two milligram nicotein, gum pieces,

which is a really, really small amount. I think the average cigarette has like 12 milligrams of nicotenin in it, So it's a really small amount, but I like doing that. I don't do it every day. And I will usually do in the afternoon. If I'm working on something that's really demanding and I need to focus kind of gives you like a little bump. But what's cool about it as opposed to like caffeine, which I do enjoy usually one cup of coffee in. Because that Taylor and as ritual is to sit down together and have coffee every morning. So I do enjoy caffeine in the morning, but if it's something that needs a little pick me up in afternoon, which is not all the time,

I will use nicotine. But in context of autoimmune health, there is a lot of benefit to it. Now I don't know necessarily from a chemical or mechanistic standpoint what's going on. That would be cool to look into and actually that's a good idea for a video. but I do think there probably is some benefit. I've also heard too that combining low dose nicotine, which would be probably like two to four milligrams a day with a methylene blue has substantive immune health benefits, what I guess would probably translate over to autoimmune issues that people have.

So, It is, it is a good thing to use, but if you're doing, you know, if your chewing 20 pieces of nicotine gum a day, that's like 40 milligrams of Nicotine Gum, and I've heard of people doing that. Is that beneficial? I don't know. I mean, I haven't really looked in the data. For me though, i just don' ever see myself doing it. And again, when you get into this, there's, nicotene is cool, But there are so much better things than nicotein to get the same end result. I really like tiocrine. I think tiocrine is more powerful for me as a nootropic slash pick-me-up slash mental focus agent slash calming agent than nicotine.

So I like Tiocrene better. There's injectable choline, like injectible carnitine and cholene together. feels so much better than nicotine. And I think there's probably some more benefit to that. So that's just kind of my thoughts. I could probably keep rambling about that for a little bit, but let's keep moving. Would you discuss how those who have had heart attacks, sleep apnea, and other causes can repair their heart functionality? My father has had three to four heart attack by the time he hit 54. Trying to do my best not to be in those shoes at this age.

This is a really good question. Actually have a video on a heart health stack, What I would recommend for someone that is someone who's had a heart attack versus someone is just looking to prevent cardiovascular disease would probably be different. So for this person's sake, I would say low dose RETA, there's a bioregular peptide called Cardiogen would be really good in this sense. And I will probably say, you know, a ton of different things you could do.

There's an injectable bi-regular peptid called Vessagen that works really well for blood vessel health. I think if you look at heart disease, it always ends up in some form or fashion going back to insulin resistance and inflammation. Vesagen helps clear inflammation from blood vessels. which I think over time would be good, but I would say low dose right up plus cardiogen plus just living healthy, having optimized hormone levels is going to do a lot to help stem the tide of that. But I, I will look at heart disease is more downstream from insulin resistance. And if we look what would help with insulin resistant, obviously that would true time, which is why it's one of the best longevity drugs.

Someone says thoughts on rapamycin? I think rapomycin is good. I've never personally used it. Probably won't do so until I'm in my later forties or early fifties. And even then I would still probably do a low dose. So there's, there a lot of good data to support it as longevity medicine, but I don't think it's something that we necessarily need to be blasting because of the way it works. Just quick background. Rapamycine I believe is used as an immunosuppressant drug for people that get transplants. But when they were doing this, they noticed that it seemed to have longevity benefits.

So they started testing in mice and I do think there are longevity benefits to it, but more or less what rapid mice does is it induces a state of fasting in the body. So it's kind of like a way to turn on all of the cascades that our body has in a fasting state without necessarily having to fast. You could pair it with fasting to accelerate those as well. I think it is good, I know for me I don't want my body to be in fasting all the time. because there are certain times when I do and there's certain terms when i don't because I want to build muscle and I wanna be healthy and i wanna have

energy and want people like actually live a life in this existence to where I feel good. So I think there is pros and cons to it but probably I would say more pros than cons but just be smart with the dosing. This is a good question. Someone says, stacking AOD with Reddit True Tide. I used as suggested Aod last year and combined with Tesso Fencing and walking three miles twice a day. Five days a week I went from 185 to 160, about three months. After 10 days vacation on Portugal last summer, I'm at 175. I'm just going through this because it's a long question.

I want to get my gut health in order like you suggest, avoid heart start effects before I proceed with Rite of True Tide. Like to do the stack I mentioned, I am not sure days, times and amounts should I do, if I have to space them out. So yeah, it is a good question, i would say AOD plus testosterone plus RITE of TRUE TIDE are all fine to take together. The AOD in my experience, I really only get a benefit if I take it right before fasted cardio. Otherwise I don't really notice any sort of like enhanced fat loss. I have heard people say that it seems to reduce water retention from growth hormone or a growth hormonal peptide.

So if you feel like you get water attention from that, sometimes Aod, i've heard other people, say helps with that. i don' really noticed it myself, but i think Aody, Tesofensine, Retatrutide is great. And obviously retatutide, is really just going to be king at the end of the day. Next one is actually about tesofencing. So someone says, I love tesoffencing, and I also take desiccated thyroid. Since I usually take those two, one hour apart with no food, do you cycle tesofensine, or do cycle oral peptides in general? Yes, I do. I'm actually using it right now because we have a new teso-fensin blend that has magnesium threonate and taurine with it.

So it kind of acts as a buffer to like the excitonature of tesophenzine to the neurotransmitters. It's like neurotransmitter, so the magnesium and the tauring can help buffer that to give you like a nice feeling with that. Flow but yes, I cycle test with fencing. I don't cycle desiccated thyroid But I do cycle tests with Fencing usually like eight weeks on eight week off, but it's really cool I just say like start really low with the one that we have you can start with one 125 micrograms I Don't feel anything of that.

Like 250 micro grams every other day for me That's a sweet spot because it has a long half-life, But it up to you, you know use as you will So someone says HGH for women. How does it compare to IPA and CJC? What's the microdosing protocol for protecting building muscle for a woman? And what are the other benefits of using it for woman yet? So I've talked a lot of this about, or about this a I think growth hormone is the gold standard. There's no question to ask the growth. Hormone is hands down the best, but I do think that IPA and CJC have a place. So for women, depending on our age, you know, if I'd say after the age of 50, 55 growth hormones really going to be the.

You could still use it in CJ C periodically, But I thinking kind of go back and forth. If you're a little bit younger in your thirties and forties, You can do eight weeks of IP and C J C and then go to eight week of growth from home. I would say for micro dosing, usually one to two I use a day is really good for depending on your size, you maybe even be able to do like half an IU and still get benefits. So it's really up to you. But I think one to two I use per day, five days a week, usually at nighttime for me is the best time. I like to take it. It does a really good job for women for fat loss, anti-aging, muscle building, all those things that we love it for.

Next one, some says thyreogen dosing, a video telling about thyrogyn bioregular would be great. Yeah, so thyreogen, in my experience, I like taking two capsules in the AM and two in PM. So you're going to use four capsuls per day. Sort of like a 30 day cycle. You're gonna need 120 capsules. I would get two 60 count boxes to do that. Now, if you were a smaller individual, you could get away with one capsule in morning and one capsule in evening. But I really like thyrogen. And I take desiccated thyroid. so I don't necessarily notice that I felt anything different than taking my desicated thyroid But I would say I had really good energy when I've cycled

that region before. So I think for someone that wants to improve their thyroid health, but doesn't necessarily for whatever reason want to make the leap to using desiccated thyroid, it's a good thing to definitely try first and use. I really like it for that reason. So here's a good question. My husband's testosterone 150 three times a week. His labs are 462. I think he's doing 150 total, 150 milligrams total broken up into three shots per week, his labs were 463 before since on it,

he is having a sickness issue, constant sore throat with lots of coughing up, phlegm nose with color and just an overall blah feeling. He can still train hard. Any suggestions on what he can do? Should he try titrate down a little? So I think sometimes people go through this adjustment phase when they first start testosterone. I personally didn't do this, but what can happen is if you have lower levels and then you ramp up your levels with therapeutic testosterone, even with a therapeutic dose, you know, 150 to 200 milligrams per week, You can go through this metabolic adjustment phase and it ramps up the nervous system.

It depletes minerals more. And what happens when we ramp up our nervous and deplete minerals war, we can't go to a phase of basically what would be probably a weakened immune system now over time or immune to some would mean much better on testosterone. But I do think some guys go do this. There's also a metabolic shift. So you're burning more calories. You're doing these sort more things. Now what does that sound like? That sounds like a period of stress, right? So if you have more stress what's going to happen? your immune system, you know, is probably going to go a little bit down and so you can get kind of sick. So I've heard of this happening before.

It's very similar to like, if you're familiar with like the old school keto flu, like when people first started doing keto, they have a flu because they like electrolyte imbalances and that causes them to kind feel sick, so. Next question. Someone says, I jumped on the GOP1 bandwagon early on and I lost weight and muscle on GOPs once. Now I need help gaining a muscle back. Do I follow the typical HGH peptide protocol workout diet or is there more? You definitely should follow that. I think it's actually good practice to use GLP-1s in the presence or excuse me, use GOP1 while also using HGH peptides at the same time.

But here's again where most people are going to miss the boat and they don't want to acknowledge this. and look it in the face for whatever reason, we want to use testosterone. And for most people after the age of 40, they're just not going to be able to retain or even build the muscle they want without supplementing with at least a little bit of testosterone, so that would be my recommendation. Next one says, I was taking SS-31 and my monthly senolytic supplement time came and I took it with SS31. The fatigue shot to the roof for three days. I feel like I did something wrong.

This was the product. Should we not use this when utilizing peptides to help reactivate mitochondria as the senlytic is an autophagy? And I guess it's qualia senelytic. So, Yeah, there probably was some sort of interaction I've actually heard of people weirdly enough saying that SS 31 made them tired right off the bat and if you think about it depending on your current mitochondrial health If you use SS 31 and you get tired, your body again is probably going through

this like adjustment phase or shift to where you're kind of going to a repair process. And sometimes the repair processes, just like when we train at the gym, it's good for us, but we have like this downtime after to wear like we might not feel as good. That's my best guess as to what is going on. For the most part, a lot of people feel super energetic when they take SS31, but it also could just be one of those things too with the supplementation they're doing. I don't know lifestyle-wise what they are living like, But it could be something that definitely is a result of the SS 31. Next question says,

on the Melanotan-1 video, great information on maintenance dose and use to avoid sunburn, but I'm not clear on a startup dose. Should Melantan 1 be used daily at a start-up to achieve a base tan prior to switching to the once or twice per week per schedule? Yes. So you could definitely do that. I personally don't do, that because where I live, I don' have to be so much more tan than I am. And never have, to worry about putting on sunscreen if I'm outside for a long time, but you, could use 500 micrograms per day for like a week or two weeks in a row to kind of accelerate the base tan.

Then from there, you can just do it once or twice a, week as needed, especially if it's the summertime. kind of depends on your complexion the darker you are you might not need to do that so for me like two to three shots per week i get pretty tan relatively easy and it seems to last for a long time so but that's me someone else may be different next part of the question was can you achieve a base tan without consistent direct UV exposure or should you wait until you know you will have the opportunity to spend several consecutive days in the sunlight to start I mean, the cool thing about Milan tan is even if you can just get like 30 minutes per day, it really does a good job of helping it.

So obviously in the best world, best of all worlds, you would. I think for me, like I have to get some sun exposure to kind of like activate it, but other people may not. But if your more pale, I would say you're probably going to need some exposure. It's not one of those things you'd say inside all day and expect to tan unless you probably have like a tanning bed or something like that. Just my opinion. Again, everyone's a little different. Next one, someone says keeping protein intake up while losing fat and building muscle.

Well, I think Some people under eat protein, but then a lot of people think they have to eat too much protein. And this question was probably submitted before we started talking a lots about the sugar diet. But in my opinion, I think it's pretty easy. If you can use protein shakes and just strategic timing about your protein intake, you definitely can do it. It's just you have pay attention to it just like you pay to attention everything. Next question. I have lupus and peptides have changed my life.

I can't thank you enough for the content. So Prostomax and Vesalut are great. Those would be the two injectable peptides if you want to work on your prostate as a man that you could use to accelerate prostate healing or stematide of BPH. So what I would just do is take two milligrams of Prosomix and two milligram of Vezalute every single day for 30 to 60 days, depending on the severity nature of like how much prostate inflammation you have and see where it goes.

Right now I'm doing my best to collect some data and just field reports from people that are doing that. Obviously, if I could use that on myself, I don't have any prostate issues, so I can take those and, you know, for me, it's not necessarily going to do anything. I'm going feel good, but there's the main reason you would use those for prostate issue. So if anyone's out there, use Prostomax, Use Vesalut, and use them together. And you'd like to send me an email or just drop a link or drop just a comment below and let people know. That'd be awesome. So best course of action for a 70 year old woman treated for Hashimoto, had COVID last year, and since then keeps getting sick and having gut issues.

Looks like our immune system is compromised, plus having got issues due to antibiotics. Can she take peptides while getting treatment for Hoshimoto's OB-ERA protocol? First thing, as always, testosterone. Next thing I would say thymus and alpha one, then I'd say thyma gen or thymalen, either of those are okay to use in this case. And I will at least just use those two. You could throw in, if you could afford it, BPC, TB 500 to get going. I'll probably add in KPV too. See what's going on there, see what happens and then go. But I think for someone with Hashimoto's, all those things right there will absolutely transform their lives.

Next question, are there peptides that will help with allergies or act like a steroid to just prednisone in the body? I have bad allergies and stay congested year round. However, prednizone is the only thing that helps. I mean, it depends on the person, but I think similar to what I just said, thymus and alpha 1, thyma-lin or thymo-gin and KPV do really well. Also a microdose of a GLP-1. I would start there and see where it goes.

And then obviously if you're exposing yourself to pollen every day, like even in the presence of peptides, is it going to do that much? I don't know. I mean, probably it will help, but Next question, should those who do not take PEDs or any peptides relating to increasing androgen density or growth hormone use metformin? What peptide should be the natty community avoid? Those who want to avoid Peds basically should only be taken by men open to Ped's or related peptids. No, I think everyone can benefit from Metformin.

I'm probably overdue for a hundred reasons to take MetFormin update video, because even here in 2025, there still is emerging data and evidence and studies being published, meta-analyses being publish about how good Met formin is. So I would personally not afford Met Formin, yeah, maybe you don't want to two milligrams a day, or excuse me, two grams a but you could take 500 milligrams and still receive great benefit. I personally wouldn't worry about it. It's so interesting. Metformin continues to seem to be one of the most polarizing drugs out there for whatever reason.

And it's interesting to me that so many people that criticize it, like if you're so against it just try it for a month or two and then stop using it like there's. So many things in my life that I've tried for. A month. Or two. I don't know that. It's doing anything for me or just point blank. I don't like it. So for. Me, I'm trying to think of like one thing that like Sarah Morellen, just don' think it does anything. so I am not going to go out and just talk a bunch of hate about Sarah morellen and getting debates about sir Morellin and whether it's worth anything or not.

i'm just not gonna use it so it seems to be that for whatever reason, Just because of doctors or influencers, whoever talking about it, that there's just a lot of fear on that foreign and there shouldn't be so. Next one, question is, GLP2 and GLp3 microdosing for continuous metabolic support, weight maintenance among other benefits, adding category during lean weeks for, maybe they meant off weeks, for more appetite suppression. Also, could you talk about AOD more? Yeah, so micro dosing is great. And what's cool about micro-dosing, is that in my experience, you are, able to stay on the GLP longer without having to worry about receptor desensitization

and you might not necessarily feel anything until you stop and then you realize how much it was doing. So what I mean by that is like, for instance, I've used like one milligram per week broken up into three shots. I read a true tide for like four to five months at a time without coming off. And then that third, fourth, fifth month, do I feel like anything is happening? No. But then I come off of it and I was like wow, there was an appetite suppression effect. Wow. There was inflammation suppression affect. while I was getting all these systemic benefits and I didn't really realize it. And then I take four to eight weeks off and then go back on.

So is there value in coming off completely? Absolutely. I think for me, probably what I will do is take two to three months off per year periodically at like four or six week intervals. Let me go on, but what's cool about that is By staying at a lower dose over a long period of time, you can harness and reap the benefits over that time without having to worry about receptor desensitization or having the scale up doses and spend a bunch of money on bigger doses. Not that bigger doses can't be valuable in some instances, but I just don't think you need to. So, and then obviously too, during that off time what you would do is if you needed more appetite suppression, You could use Cagri with the reticulotide,

But also too you could not use it with retitulotaide but use in the off cycle and you're good because it's hitting a completely different receptor. You know, interestingly enough, Cagri still seems to be one of those weird wild card ones where some people love it and some hate it. I love, but for instance my wife, she thinks it's the worst thing ever. A lot of people say it makes them feel weird and depressed, so who knows what's going on there. Next question. Can you take Metashred with five amino? I was stacking shred with 5 amino before I started taking MetaShred. Absolutely. So that would just be BAM15, SLU, PP332 and 5-amino-1-inc-pew.

I do that on the daily on, the regular. You'd obviously just want to make sure you cycle periodically, but no, those are all fine to take together. Next question, peptides in elderly people. So reasons why it may, may not work for them. BPC-157 post heart bypass and valve replacement for a 70 year old male smoker, for example, what else would he benefit from bronchogen? I'd say definitely broncogen, Bpc, TB 500, KPV would all be good things to just help with inflammation there.

I think cardiogen. if they had a heart bypass surgery, because that's going to work specifically to heal inflammation in the heart tissue. So yeah, bronchogen would be good. And there's another injectable bioregulator for the lungs called Conluten, C-H-O-N-L-U-T-E-M. That would a good one. Next question. Can you do a video on peptides that could help recovery from rhabdomyolysis? My husband's a firefighter. Yeah. So when we look at rábdo, that's obviously what happens with rabdo is it's stressed from working out from the kidneys basically and along a roundabout

way to say it. And the, stress from the kidneys. I personally think using SS 31 would do massive benefit to people who suffer from rhabdo. Probably gonna have to do a higher dose like five to 10 milligrams per day. But for whatever reason, SS-31 just seems to work really, really well to help heal the kidney's. So I'd use that. You could also use the Kidney Bioregulator. That would be a good one too, to Someone says, what is the peptide for overactive bladder and how can I get desiccated thyroid?

My Kaiser doctor would not prescribe it because I am borderline hypo, but with severe symptoms my whole life. So yeah, there's a, for people in the United States, if you want to get desiccated thyroid, I don't have any affiliation with this company whatsoever. I've just heard good things about it. It's called tellyrx.com, T-E-L-Y-R-X. You can go get it there and it's pretty affordable. That's the only place I know that like gives prescriptions pretty readily and easily to people. And then for overactive bladder, you could use Prostomax and Desolute.

But in this case, if it was a woman, there is a drug called Mirabegrin, which is also probably pretty hard to source from doctors, but you can get it from offshore pharmacies pretty easily. And I think that would be a good one because that helps people with overactive bladder. So Mirabeggron, I'd think probably like 50 to 100 milligrams per day would help. Some people go up to 200 milligrams if I'm quoting that right off the top of my head. This is interesting. I just wanted to say, this isn't really a question, but I thought this was cool. So someone said, I do injections, meso, Meso injections into my face once a month.

And I don't know what that is, But I guess it's some sort of aesthetic injection. This month I mixed Cardalax that night for a 500 microgram dose. Later I mix my facial products, growth hormone, and place them in the same refrigerator. I got ready to inject my product in my face. I used a whole bottle. Later, I was ready do inject Cardalax. That is when I found I had injected the whole mixture of Cardilax in to my that's so technique. So far, my faces plumper, smile lines are gone, jowls are on, under eyes are smoother. Maybe you can experiment with this. Great results. so I haven't done that. But if you are a willing test dummy, sounds like a good idea.

And what's interesting about Cardillax is it works to signal a more youthful state in your cartilage. We have cartilage in the face, and so it would make sense that that would help. So I don't know that it helped me look any prettier, but I think it'd be cool if someone wanted to try that. And if you're injecting your face I would just recommend using a pen because you can use a smaller MM syringe to do it. But make sure you know what you are doing before you inject anything into your So the next question is the peptide dada.

Dada is actually not a peptid, but you can do it specifically it versus metformin and or a protocol to use it with met formin. They're really two fundamentally different things. I would definitely use them together. Don't know that I have to think about like synergies between them. But dara basically increases exercise performance. and you feel like you can go forever and train forever when you take Dada. So I like to start with 50 to 100 milligrams of DADA injected intramuscularly pre-workout into whatever muscle I'm training, but it absolutely works.

Like there's no question about it. It kind of rhymes. I've got three bottles sitting in my pantry right now, and I just need to remember to inject it pre workout because I always kind Next question. I have yet to find any good information relating to one of the most common male issues in a large prostate. Would you want to talk about this and give some detailed treatment with peptides and or briar regulators? So yeah, kind of like I talked about Prostomax, two milligrams per day, Vesalut, 2 milligrams a day. And that would also add in 5 milligrams of Cialis, 5 to 10 milligrams C. Alice per.

Day and see how that does for you. So. Next question, best time to use for old injuries, husband broke back and 15 rib fractures in the forties. Now he's 50 and hurtling daily. What can I use? So that would just be like the Wolverine stack updated 3.0. So it'd be BPC, TB 500, GHK, CU, and also throwing cartilax and PEG, MGF. The dosing for that, would be 500 micrograms of BTC, TP 500. Two milligrams per day of GH K, two milligrams for day, of cartilage and then probably like 300

micro grams of PE G M G F. Weaning off SSRIs or other antidepressants while taking peptides. I'm noticing a vast improvement in energy and mood. side effects. But I would say peptide can definitely help you do that. And the reason a lot of people are on peptides or excuse me, antidepressants and SSRIs is because they have inflammation in the body and the inflammation

causes them to be depressed. If you address the information, a lots of times the depression goes away. So yeah, I think, you know, be smart about it, but it definitely can do it and just know that if you're on those, there's hope out there to come off of them. I highlighted this because I want to talk about it. So someone says, I was listening to one of your former Q&A videos and noticed you poo-pooed Kaisertrex, which is basically oral testosterone on deconate. It goes through the lymphatic system.

I probably misquoted at some point and said it's just an oral absorption. And so technically it does not get absorbed or digested by the liver because it goes to the Lymphatic System. But this person says Kisertrek is amazing and it doesn't avoid many of the potential negatives and side effects of injectable testosterone. And just to paraphrase a little bit, they said, I didn't do this with the WHI study, nor should I do with Kaisertrex. So I'll just say this about Kaiser trex, look, don't proselytize anyone, take testosterone, give information about taking testosterone.

I think that Kaiser Trex is not a very good way to use testosterone is it better than nothing? Obviously it's better that nothing. Is it going to be injectable testosterone? No. I have talked to countless men who have said they were on Kaiser Trex, then they switched to injectable testosterone, and they couldn't imagine going back because the difference is so profound. So is it better than nothing? Yeah, absolutely. But long-term, do I think it's a solution to actually get guys to have symptom resolution of low testosterone? Not really. Yes, I understand the need for fertility, but there are other things you can do.

For as long as it has been around, guys have been using injectible testosterone and maintaining their fertility. There's things that you could do, so Again, I don't have any aspirations to be a hater or tell people what they should and shouldn't do. I am very much someone that thinks you should do whatever you want to do and give you my insights, give me my experience, and what I know and have seen other people do, but I do not want people to think that I should not do these kinds of tricks.

If you're not on testosterone, you should try and just to see that your life can change. But I will tell you, You're probably missing a lot of the boat. So I don't mean to go out and take a dump on things. You know, interestingly enough, this makes me think back to the survey I recently sent to my email list. The most common request I actually got was people wanting me to tell them what I didn't like. And to me, that was counterintuitive because I was like, why would I go talk negatively about things? Then I'm like well, I don't have to talk about negatively things. I can just talk like why I didn't like certain things and what I would use in lieu of them.

So I dont like Kaiser Trex because injectable testosterone is better. But if you want to use Kaiser trex, be my guest. Like I wouldn't tell anyone not to do that. And I think it's better than nothing. This is where I do get a little upset is that there's a lot of TRT clinics that are pushing this on patients because they make more money off of it. So, hey, I mean, like, people got to make money, right? Like I have no problem with people making money. But they will tell people that it's better so that they made more my kind of like with pellets.

doctors make way more money off of inserting a pellet into you because it's a surgical procedure, but it is not the most efficacious thing. People do a lot better on injectables. And so like I do sometimes get riled up about that, like, I understand people gotta make, we all have to make money in the matrix, But I would just, have certain principles that I go by to do so. That one, I actually answered someone at again to the, to, the point of the idea that multiple people have the same question.

Like the question I just read through that I highlighted, that actually just answered, cause it was about seasonal allergies and what peptides to take. So it's rough to move along because sometimes there's big gaps in these. Someone says DMAA or clenbuterol. Perhaps they aren't peptides, but they're often sold on research chemical peptide websites. Yeah, I'm not a big fan. I've never used DMAAAA and I never use clenchbuteral. And with everything we have now, so we've got albuterole, we got BAM15, SLU, coming OS01, which is an AMPK activator, I just don't think you need to use Clenbuterol.

So I understand that the bodybuilding world is going to continue to us it, and that's totally okay. Again, there's a use case for everything, but I think we just have way better things than Clinbuteral that we don' have to worry about the side effects. How do I avoid my voice getting deeper as a female on TRT? I'm on about 2.5 milligrams of dissolvable tablet daily. So at that dose of a dissolable tablet, you probably are not going to see any benefit and you won't have the side effects of deeper voice. It will happen, like you will probably have a little bit deeper voice, but it's kind of like, where do you want to land?

You know, if that's a real concern for you, one, make sure that you're not taking too much, you probably will get a bit of a deeper of voice. But is it something that, that want you to feel like garbage? and have a higher pitched voice. So I don't know. I'm not a woman, so I can't put myself in my shoes. This would be a good question to talk about with Taylor on our coffee talks, but I just don' worry about that that much. And you know, Taylor uses 10 milligrams a week of injectable testosterone. Does she have like a man voice that people are thinking that she's a men?

Absolutely not. It's really up to you how you do it. If you don''t want to do the whole testosterone thing, there's Other things you can try to do, but it's not going to be enough to probably get you to where you want to. So this is a good question. Someone said a video suggesting doses based on L-carnitine dosing. And the reason is, a lot of the bottles just say 600 milligrams on them instead of 600 mg per milliliter.

And so they think, does that mean that there's 20 milliliters, 600 milligrams that each milliliter is only 30 milligrams? The answer is no. It's 600 milligrams per millitre. So if you wanted to do 600mg, you would inject one whole milllitre intramuscle. If you want to to 100mgs, or excuse me, if he wanted do 300mms, he would do 50 units, 0.5 mls on an insulin syringe. That's what that is. But if you ever see that on bottles, almost always from any company that I'm affiliated with, that's the answer.

Someone says all things fasting, how do you get your protein in if you fast for three days a week? The answer is I don't. And I really concern myself on those fasting days with getting in the amount of protein because I get it in on my training days and I still am able to retain muscle. So it seems to be moving in direction of not being as concerned with protein. Then this is where we can use sugar diet slash sugar fasting to kind of fill in gaps and help us basically spare muscle during those sugar fast or even fasting windows.

Next question, here we go again, bronchogen and conlutin, can they be used together to heal chronic lung conditions? Absolutely. I would do two milligrams of both per day. Also, somebody asked, I got like multiple emails about people asking about my father-in-law's COPD. Yes, he is doing better. Now I will say this, my Father-In-Law and Terrence, if you are watching this I'm calling you out. He refuses to exercise.

doesn't change anything in his lifestyle. Now, he has lost a lot of weight just because he's been using a GLP and he've been used peptides and testosterone. He also works part-time at a golf course just for fun so that he gets to play free golf. And what do we know about golf courses? They are one of the most toxic places in the world because they spray pesticides all over them. I would know, I never worked at the golf course, but I grew up working in the trenches, being a landscaper with my dad. So my Dad's a landscaper. I was around a lot of pesticides growing up. Pesticides are disgusting. They are nasty. they will build up and cause you to have allergies and lung problems.

Did he change any of those things? No. But yes, bronchogen and TB 500 and SS 31 and KPV and LL 37 definitely helped him kind of recover from his hospital incident where he had COPD. To answer the question, yes broncogen, conlutin, that triggered me because I know a about my father-in-law. And like I said, he hasn't changed anything with his lifestyle, which I wish you would, but hey, that's that generation. So, I mean, those are just people in general, really. I shouldn't call it, say, That's That Generation, because there's a lot of people that just don't change for whatever reason.

They don' feel the need to. Next question. Someone says, thank you for being kind hearted person, helping those floundering. Well, you're welcome. So someone says, or this question, they're actually talking about taurine. So they suggest, you suggest tauring for rapid heart rate and it's been helping. 250 micrograms of red at every other day, not losing weight other than the tight dieting and a high protein count. SS 31, 10 milligram daily and energy is coming back. Finally want to exercise again, suggestions for next, been on red about five weeks. How long before I lose a decent amount of weight, trickling off 60 pounds of lose.

I didn't used to have a problem until late 30. Yeah. And this person said they're on testosterone cream, just get thyroid oral progesterone, which is good. It's kind of a tough question. Like I necessarily wouldn't even change anything there. and I get this question all the time. They're like, I've been taking red her for four weeks. How long before I see results? I don't know. If this. Person needs to lose 60 pounds, it's going to take a while. like it. Not going. To happen in four. Weeks. I would say keep doing what you're doing. Keep focusing on the micro.

Nick Saban always used to say, if you take care of the micro, the macro will take of itself. So in my opinion, is there something you could add in? Yeah, you can probably add-in like an SLU or a MATC alongside the SS31 to help accelerate things. But just keep doing what you're doing. And this is where I think a lot of people mess up is they go four to six weeks at a time. They're like, what can I change? What can that change, And a lot of times the answer is nothing. A lot times, the answers is keep on keeping on and keep being consistent with what you're doing. And that's not the fun thing to do.

But for me, I live my life as boring as possible by design, meaning that I achieve the most progress in my personally, professionally, financially, health-wise when I just keep doing really, really boring things over and over again. And is it cool to try new peptides? Obviously, yes. That's what I get excited about. But at the same time, if someone were to watch me for a day, it would be really Someone says, I wish you would do a short weekly series on helping dumpster fires.

Peptides are going to help now while trying to change lifestyle. Antibiotics, food and working out, just simple steps over time. I actually did make a video recently about the dumpstar fire stack. So if you haven't watched that yet, you could check it out. But yeah, think it'd be a good idea. And I've always envisioned doing something like a call in radio show. If I could figure out how to do that with StreamYard, and I would love to that on Saturday mornings because I used to be big talk radio fan when I was younger. whether it was like sports or politics or whatever, even finance. I loved when I was a kid, I love listening to Dave Ramsey in the car.

Like my mom, once she would pick us from school, you have Dave Ramsay on and I would love and that's, ended up, getting a degree in finance because it sparked a lot of interest at a young age when i was 11, 12 years old. And I'd love learning about that stuff. So I would just love to move into like a call in radio show to like where people come on. I think people learn the best when they hear other people's stories, not necessarily certain information just splattered at them. It's a lot easier to learn through stories. Someone says, from what I can find on BAM15, the research has done with dosage in mice 10 to 20 times higher than your product.

Could you talk about why this would be so different in humans? Yes. There's this weird thing that a certain contingent of people, and I'm not saying this person is doing this, but because they're just generally curious, there's certain people that love to say that there are kiddy doses of stuff. I, even though I talk about a lot of different drugs and compounds and stuff, I'm always of the opinion you should use the minimum effective dose. And if you get really good results of 100 or 150 or 300 milligrams of BAM15 and that works, you shouldn't go higher than that.

Now, is there a time and place where you say, okay, let's put the dosing to find out? Yeah, absolutely. But I don't want to cause undue side effects for no reason just because they said in mice they use this much that would equate to this in humans. So it's one of those things like if we kind of know work, so we have like thousands or hundreds of thousands of use cases of what works in people, We don't necessarily need to go up until we need too. And if we don' need two, then we shouldn't. So I think this is one of those things, again, I'm not saying this as this person asking this, but a lot of people are like,

well, what's the max dose? And it's like well sometimes we, if it is working at where it working, What would cause us to have to up? Because there could be some unintended consequences of doing so. Just like if you drink too much water, there can be unintended consequence. Someone says, did you see this on Set Melanotide? Maybe time for a deep dive. So this actually sparked my interest. Set melanotype was something that was probably around like two or three years ago and I'd heard stuff about it, but I never tried it.

And I think it just, I guess there was like a new pivotal phase three trial on set melana type that it came back and maybe it's going to be approved. You know, I've thought about doing a full video of this. Maybe I should. I think it'd be beneficial. Set melanotide is basically an appetite suppressing peptide that comes from the melanin family. So KPV, melatonin-1, Melanoton-2, PT-141. Basically what they were doing with set melantide, is they took the appetite-suppressing sequence out of the alpha melanosite-simulating hormone peptid family,

and put it in a peptide. And so far, it's actually shown good weight loss in trials. So I was like, well, let me try it and see. In the trials, I think they were doing two milligrams weekly of set melanotide, one injection. I'm speaking off the top of my head. It was daily. They're doing 2 milligrams daily because it does have a shorter half-life. So like, okay, let me try it and see. So I get some set melanotide from a manufacturer, tried it on myself. It's actually pretty hard to find at research sites.

I tried 250 micrograms first day. Like, oh, OK, like this is good. Then it gets to like hour, I take it in the morning. OK. like I notice an appetite suppressing effect, then it's like our eight, our 10, hour 12. And all of a sudden I have like terrible nausea. I'm like, this is not comfortable. And so basically, for the next 48 to 72 hours after injecting 250 micrograms, which is one tenth of the dosing that people are using in the trials, I had the worst nause, and yeah, did I lose my appetite?

Absolutely, absolutely. It was because I was so nauseous. So probably depends on the person. Obviously, like I pretty lean individual. And so some of that stuff is going to hit me a lot stronger than someone has a dysregulated appetite. But man, if I'll tell you this, sepulantide works for appetite suppression, but it's not fun. So take like the worst feeling of like, the semaglutide and apply that to semalantides. I guess what's cool about it is if you need appetite suppression, it can work in lieu of tapping the GLP-1 receptor.

So there is benefit that way. But yeah, you would definitely lose weight taking that because you do not want to eat for sure. It's not comfortable to use that. This is just kind of an age old question. Says, can peptides help with lumbar back pain and cause degenerative disc disease, or excuse me, pain due to degenerate disc diseases and other causes, if so, how to Yes and no. I think if there's anything that will, it's cartilax.

But honestly, BPC and TP500 aren't going to do that much. Now, some people might report good results from that, but a lot of times when there is no cartilage there, It's hard for the peptide to anything. So I would say cartillax is your best bet, But you might have to look into exomes and sim cells. And even that case, I don't know how much help in some peoples case is going be. What peptides can be used to maintain results and keeping moving forward while in and off cycle microdosing ratatrutide? Well, like I said, I think Cagri could be good. I actually like, you know, forget about it because I haven't used it in a while up until recently.

Intensile fencing does have good appetite suppression effects. Now, is it going to be retitrutide or Cagri? No, of course not. But it is just enough. And so for me, I can use that to help suppress my appetite. Also, CaliCurb, another great supplement. Calicurb is great. I still use it as like a, you can get like an eight hour or six hour appetite suppression window from Calikurb. So next question, somebody says PCOS and peptides, what can I use to lose weight, gain libido, help regulate my hormonal imbalance and have more energy?

Rettitrutide and metformin. That would be the first line defense against PCOS. And I think probably two, no one's really looked at this, but I the mitochondrial peptides would also help with that just because of helping with losing weight, which is then downstream going to affect help the PCOS because it's improving insulin sensitivity. So metformin, retitrutide, dihydroberberine, motzi, all going to be really good things for PCOs and that's something you can definitely fix and improve. And then hopefully a lot of people that impairs our fertility.

This is a good question for the peptide pins. So for pins, thoughts on the needle size? Does it matter 2mm, 4mm or 6mm? I get 8mm insulin needle cap pins It really doesn't matter. I think 2ml is probably a little too small Six millimeters is fine. Four millimeters, four millimeters it's fine when I say millimeters really fast it comes out as milliliters, but millimeters. So can pins be used for IM? You can, you would have to get a 29 gauge, 12 millimeter pin cap to do IM.

Now I personally don't like doing my testosterone for that because you have hold it in for like 30 seconds for it to come all the way out because testosterone is oil-based so it is really thick. That would be my recommendation and suggestion for Just scrolling along here. So my husband has had Bell's palsy for around 18 months. What peptides would help with nerve regeneration? He's been using bioregenics for one to two months and maybe has a slight change. He has also been on low dose RETA for a month and TIRS for four weeks.

Before that, he's has been taking the Glostac. Those are all good. I would say PPC, TB 500. KPV, GHK, Cortalax are all going to be really good for nerve regeneration. Probably Vesigen as well, I think would be helpful for someone with Bell's palsy. And then depending on the nature of Bells palsie, a lot of it has to do with the immune system in the body, and so something like a thymalin or thiamogen and thimoncinophil one would help aswell. I don't know if this is going do anything from the nerve signaling standpoint, but it's at least going help clear some of that inflammation from that body.

Peptides who I recommend for people struggling with Lyme disease, I would say, again, very similar to those, thymosophil-1, Thymogen or thimolm, KPV, you could use LL-37. I think that would be probably beneficial to that person. And then, yeah, also testosterone is going to be huge for someone with lyme Someone says, can you talk about using GOP-1 peptides and fasting, when to use them and not when fasting so it doesn't break down more muscle?

I would like to get the benefits of using both methods, but I'm concerned with extended fast and GOp-2 used together will cause more harm than good. In my experience, as long as you are training and eating enough protein, it won't. I even think the sugar fast Or you can just eat sugar instead of fasting completely, just have fruit, I call it fruit fasting. I think it's a better way to say it. So fruit-fasting obviously will be super beneficial to that as well. If you're doing that and you are hormonally optimized and using your growth hormone peptide, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Someone says best peptides for individuals with a history of cancer. I, to be honest, there's not any peptide necessarily that I would completely cut out if I have a quote unquote history. Of cancer that take that at your own risk. That is just my own personal opinion for myself, but I think a lot of that is completely overblown. So. Next question, if you have already done a video, I'm sorry, you had combined stacked Matzi, NAD+, and 5-amino, what can you stack with retatru- what, can your stack retatur- type trisapatite, and could you microdress with our tritide triceptide?

I think that stack of Matzzi N.A.D. plus 5 amino would absolutely be something you can stack in retur-type, so I would use that. What peptides, if any, can reduce water retention in women? Hmm. You know, I was talking about AOD earlier. I think that could probably be beneficial, but I. Jardience definitely would help people with water attention and peptide wise, you know most peptids are going to cause a little thin layer of water,

retention, But you, know I don't know that there's anything that's going like necessarily make you dry out. Second part of that person's question, what age should we test our son for testosterone levels? And the flow is ideal to start them on testosterone, regardless if they weight train three to four times a week. I think you should start as early as possible. 14, 15 is totally fine to get labs done. Now, does that mean you start the testosterone at that age? Probably not, but you could use testogen or testolutin for them, absolutely, to help support that and get them to where they want to go.

Also, I injectable all carnitine, if you're okay with injecting at age, there's no downside to taking injectible all-carnitin, too. Hunter, I'm a 61 year old man with BPH. I am on TOT, but every five or six months of treatment, my PSA rises to eight or nine, and I have to stop it. If I had two prostate biopsies and both have come back negative for cancer, what peptides are good for treating BPh and high PSa? I would look at Prostomax, Fezalut, then also SS31.

Again, weird peptide, kind of does everything, But I've seen that bring PSAs down from like nine to one. So I can't say that it's going to happen in everyone's case, Next question. So I've tried GHKCU for anti-aging was only able to do three injections and gave up. There was no burn when administering it within a couple hours area burned so bad. It was almost like a cigarette was burning my herb injection, which lasts at least 10 hours thoughts, please. Yeah, just kind of comes with the territory. You can dilute it more with more backwater to help.

But I mean, It happens, it happens to me. It happened to everyone. I would say the bio strips that we have, we had the GHK bio-strips. Again, not a plug for those, but you get to meet the same systemic benefit of the G-H-K. Like you wouldn't get the benefit injecting into an injury, But for me it makes my hair darker. it works to be in principle the exact same as injectable GH-k and you don't have to worry about the injection stings. So that is a good alternative. If you want to use GHK but don't want have to worry about the stinging nature of it.

Next question. I started low dose right at your tight about three months ago, 500 micrograms, three times a week. Added 300 micro grams of it from Maryland. And then after about 3 weeks, I switched the it for Maryland out for test Maryland, if Maryland blend 1 milligram, 300, micro-gram five days per week, this past week I began feeling dizzy, hot in my heartbeat elevated. That was getting notifications from my Apple watch. My ordering was registering a high resting heart rate. Stopped everything and things are going back to normal. Am good shape.

And I am 56, five 11, 203 pounds. I watched a post from Jay, which says this could be because of trash cardio. Not in the best shape, but I'm pretty good shape and I was taking fairly low dose. So I'd appreciate any insight you have. It's the test Merlin and should I just took the ip Merlion or nothing at all? Well, you know, some people do. Better on Ipamerelin than Tessamerelin because Tissameralin is stronger. I would have said because you switch the blend, maybe just try Tessa by itself. It could have just been a really powerful growth hormone dose from the body and it could've just overreacted to that.

Usually people get the heartbeat elevation from CJC, but it can in this case happen. So I would just say, maybe cut down the dose first, see if anything happens and go from there. A lot of times too, I was talking about taurine earlier, people are very electrolyte and mineral depleted. And so you're doing this, you using red trutide, or using these things, that you've got to have taurean, and you got have magnesium to help in some of these instances. It's a tough question to answer. Next question, how do we get Jardience?

That is on my email list, not for public consumption. Next questions, this is a good one. Can you please clarify the frequency for injecting in a plus in combination with five amino as a pre-workout? Because of my limited gym time, I work out five to six days per week to be able to hit every muscle group. Should I inject it every workout day or three days a week or every other workout date? I mean, it kind of depends on like, there's nothing wrong with doing it every other day.

If you're training five to six per days per week, I would say use it on your weight training days. So like I use on my weight, training, days and not my cardio days, and it feels really good. It's kind up to you, but how comfortable you are with you injecting. Cause those, would do those intramuscularly. You're fine. Do it everyday. But if not just do it three days a week. I think you will still benefit just from doing at three Best stack for tendon injuries.

I have a long-term Achilles tendonitis that's taken years to heal. Start injecting BPC and TB into the area around the tendon, calf and tendon. Continue with adding GHK or Cardilax. Be helpful or anything else I'm missing here. Yes, absolutely. Cardillax and GH K would be helpful. The GH might hurt if you're, especially if your inject it in the Achille's area. So I would start with Cardalax first and see how that does and then add in GHk. Should you feel so inclined? Next question, should I cycle this gate that were taken indefinitely? I take it indefinite. I don't think there's any reason to cycle it.

So that's up to you. Try it and see. Here's a good one. How to use peptides that rebuild the body and brain to overcome dopamine deficiency and depression due to long-term pharmaceutical drug use such as Xanax, Adderall, Trimidol, and other street drugs like Coke, ketamine, hallucinogens, or more. Wow, it sounds like this person has got their work cut out for them. There is a supplement slash peptide. It's not really a peptid. it's called 9-MeBC, And it is supposed to help restore dopamine function to normal levels in the I'll admit, I personally have never used that because

I've never had the need to do that, but that could be something that you could look into and start to research for yourself to help with dopamine deficiency. So that would be my first recommendation. There's obviously like CMAX, C-LINK. I think BioMind, which has J147, dihexanupep would really good in this case because it helps with neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, and also just getting energy into the brain and helping with ATP synthase in the brains. So you could look at that too, but nine MEBC would be like the first place that I would start digging down a rabbit hole for that. Although I personally can't give you my own experience because I never really needed to use that Someone says, could you discuss the best bang for the

buck when it comes to stacking peptides or just which ones complement TRT being treated with 0.3 mL every three days and my numbers are looking good but I'm eating nonstop. I stand to lose about 30 pounds of belly fat and love handles. Yeah. I think best bang for your buck is retrotide plus a GH peptide. Plus a mitochondrial peptides. If you could only spend three, I would use that alongside your testosterone. That would probably maximize the benefit that you're going to have, but you obviously got to change your lifestyle.

Here's a good one. Sub-Q in different areas of the body. Recommended is back of arm, thigh and stomach. But what if you're targeting a shoulder injury with BPC and TB 500, can you inject sub-q in your shoulder? Is it bad to object IM? I would inject some sub q into the shoulder. You could do it IM too, but sometimes you could irritate it depending on the nature of injury. So I just do sub Q in most cases and you still get good benefit. But yeah, I usually just do my belly and I just like rotate around my bell. You could do those other areas and nothing wrong with them. But if you're a leaner person, it's a little bit harder to do sub Q in some of those areas. Because for instance, for like me, not that I couldn't, but it just, like, you know, in my arm, there's not a lot of fat in arms to inject into.

So it might hurt a bit more if your injecting into a linear area. Then someone says, peptide longevity once reconstituted. Most sites say compounded peptides have a shelf life of 28 days after reconstitution. Now I've used peptids really up to a year after they've been reconstitute as long as they're kept in the fridge, they are fine. I would say usually like six months is the good sweet spot that you don't really have to worry about degradation. Next question is, why are the bioregulars in pill form? Wouldn't it be more effective to be sub-Q injected? And the answer is yes, and there are injectable forms of that.

So you can try those too. And in my experience, they definitely are better. A lot of questions about prostate today. So here's a hypothetical question for research purposes. If a man had prostate cancer, let's say it was treated and PSA is now 0.12, which would you consider no cancer is present after treatment? Correct. Hypothetical question is the Wolverine blend BPC and TB 500 safe for that person to use for other joint injuries? Do these peptides cause increases in testosterone growth hormone that could cause a recurrence of any cancer?

No, they do not. And I will probably say this for thousands of times, years in the future. You do no have to worry about that with those. It's more theoretical than it is practical. Also, the testosterone and growth hormone really are not going to do anything to exacerbate it. If you actually look up, Duke right now is treating prostate cancer with high doses of testosterone to actually reverse the prostate cancers. So a lot of what we know about is wrong. And the reason people think that is because it's what their doctor tells them.

And you probably know what I feel about that. So next question, someone says, I know you have touched on in different videos, but I'd love for you to do a whole video on menopausal women. for Reddit to testosterone and estradiol. I started, I think they meant to say from Reddit, to Testosterone and Estradiola. Started Reddit and Sloop after listening to part of one of your podcasts. You mentioned for menopause, but I'd love to hear a full episode. Yeah, for a menoppausal woman, all you need to get started is testosterone. That will change so much. There are hundreds of millions of women on the planet, really in the country of the United States right now, across the plan that are just suffering in

silence because they go through menipause and they have no hormones. And if they just got, Among other things, but if they just got 10 to 20 milligrams a week of injectable testosterone, it would dramatically change the remaining years of their life to which there are many. I mean, imagine going through menopause at 50 or 55. the average person is going to have another 30 years of their life. And they just suffer in silence. A lot of times that life is shortened because they are suffering and they have no hormones. So it's really sad. If there was one thing that I could do that just wouldn't be such an uphill battle, it would just be to get every postmenopausal woman 10 to 20 milligrams

of injected testosterone per week. It would change everything for them completely. But the planet we live on does not want that happening. I'll say that. Someone says, I have a question about TRT. I am on tessipinate with clomophene citrate. Doctor recommending to keep LH FSH levels up, not looking to have kids. Is clonophane citrite a long-term drug? No, it is definitely not. There's a use case for everything, and the use for clotaphene is not long term fertility support for a man.

even if you're not looking to have kids. So yeah, the guy says, I have concerns about toxicity and I health been taking this combination for three years, testosterone at 80 milligrams a week and clomophene at a hundred milligrams per week divided into two doses. One I would say your testosterone dose is probably too low. And then I will just throw out the clomorphine. You could use HCG, you could used testogen if wanted to keep your LH and FSH up. But a lot of times you don't even really need to do that in my opinion. I think that's one of those things for fertility purposes, yes, you want to look at, but I there's plenty of people that just take testosterone and they

do completely fine and everything is totally healthy about them. They don' have to worry about that. Now, will we find out in the future that that could be something that we look up to say like, okay, maybe there was a longevity benefit to having elevated LH and FSH maybe, But for right now, I don t think it's something I would necessarily worry myself with. Let's make this the last one, because we're right at an hour for today's videos. So someone says, what would be a protocol to cycle Reta and Cagri? If I stopped them at the same time, I know I will gain weight, but if I'm necessary for long-term use, will I do it?

I would just say maybe don't use the Caggeri alongside the Retta. And if you have to, like maybe throw in Truzapetide with the Retrutide or just up your Retutide dose to get more appetite suppression. And then the next question of that or next part of it is, say, if I cycle them, can I stop them in a one time so no gradual decrease? You could. I think it's easier to gradually decrease. But if something together, what should I take during this break to prevent weight gain? And that's what I was saying. You can use test of benzene. And you could use set melanotide if you wanted to. If you want to feel the most nauseous you ever feel in your life. Hey, maybe some people like it.

Maybe some don't get that way. But I think for people, if you know that you want to come off a GLP and you that it's going to be a problem for you in the degree of gain, weight back, I would use the Cagri in my off cycle and maybe just use more Red True Tide or maybe throw in a little bit of True Zapatide to help mitigate some of the appetite while I'm on the Red true tide. So not everyone has to do that, but I understand that this is a use case for some people. That is it for this one. Like I said, we're right an hour. Hopefully this was helpful to you.

If you have anything relevant to some of the questions today with your experience, it would be awesome just for the people that watch the video that you could drop that in the comments. And I just want to close out by saying thank you, thank, you thank. You I am so grateful and so honored and privilege to get to do what I do and I only get do when I because of people like you that are watching this, listening to this and helping support even if it's just commenting, liking, subscribing, but obviously the sign up for the email list and buy products from BioLongevity Labs. You guys are the reason we get to do what we do.

So hopefully this mutual exchange of you learning from me and me benefiting from you doing those things is something that you enjoy doing and I enjoy it as much as it's my passion. I just thank you guys so much for ability to that. From the bottom of my heart, I have so many gratitude for everyone out there And I always say, hopefully that comes across in the material I create and the passion that I have for this material. So thank you guys so much. As always, peptide cheat sheets down in description, all that good stuff down there, but thank so you much and again, keep the questions coming.

I'll make sure that that question box is there. because I think these are valuable to people. And I there's question, it helps me make better content when you guys submit questions. So hopefully you enjoy listening to these as much as I enjoy making them. I will see you in the next one. Peace.
