Peptide Q&A · Your Most Pressing Questions
This one is long overdue. I had a 23-minute video ready to go on a triple agonist fat loss peptide, fully edited and uploaded, and YouTube hit my channel with a warning before it even published. So instead, I'm running through 50 questions you guys have left in the comments over the last eight weeks. Let's get into it.
5-Amino-1MQ Dosing
Do you take 150mg all at once or split it up?
I split it. Usually two doses in the morning or one at night. I like to get two in before a training session.
Stacking 5-amino with tirzepatide?
Absolutely. Anything that supports muscle growth alongside tirzepatide is a win, especially if you're resistance training. I'd also lean on a growth hormone peptide in there. 5-amino is an enzyme inhibitor that raises NAD+ levels, which helps you build muscle and burn fat.
KPV Questions
Can you stack KPV with BPC-157?
Totally fine. I've done it. Good combo.
Oral KPV at 250mcg vs 250mg?
It's 250 micrograms, not milligrams. If I said milligrams in an older video, that was a misquote on the oral dosing translation.
Stacking and Combining Peptides
Is stacking six peptides at once a good idea?
Usually no. Depends on the peptides and the person, but I always tell people to start with one or two so you can see how your body responds. People come to me wanting to build muscle, burn fat, heal autoimmune disease, and turn their brain into a supercomputer with 12 peptides at once. Slow down. Figure out what you're actually trying to do.
Can I put four peptides into one injection?
Depends. BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu in one pin? I've done it and it works. BPC, tirzepatide, and ipamorelin in one pin? No. Don't combine those.
ARA-290
An 8mg vial only covers four days at 2mg/day. Is that right?
Yes. These peptides aren't cheap because they work. Some vials last a month or two, some last a few days. Just depends on the peptide.
Would ARA-290 help with sciatica from a ruptured disc?
Yes, it should help with nerve pain. I can't promise it fixes everything, but for nerve pain it's one of the better tools.
Would it help my wife wean off opioids for nerve pain?
That's a solid use case for ARA-290.
Melanotan-1
Will Melanotan-1 work for skin type 1 (very pale)?
Yes, it'll help. Will it turn you Mediterranean dark? Probably not. But it definitely works, and I'd never use Melanotan-2. MT2 will give you stomach cramps, nausea, and dry heaving. MT1 you can titrate up much more safely.
Will Melanotan-1 enhance my freckles?
Tanning brings out freckles regardless of how you got the tan. My girlfriend gets more freckles when she tans too. Start at 250mcg and see how you respond. The bigger benefit is that MT1 protects against burning.
Flushing and nausea last an hour or two at 200mcg twice a week. Normal?
For me it goes away in 10 minutes. If it's lingering, eat some food, hydrate, get electrolytes in. Start lower if you need to.
Reconstitution: 3ml water to 10mg Melanotan-1, how long until I see a tan?
You still have to actually go in the sun or hit a tanning bed. Sun is better. Higher doses get you darker to a point. Won't happen overnight.
IGF-1 LR3 and Visceral Fat
Would IGF-1 LR3 help reduce 11lbs of visceral fat?
Could it help? Maybe, in the right dose. But I'd reach for tesamorelin and tirzepatide first. Testosterone is probably the strongest tool for visceral fat, and tirzepatide handles the insulin resistance side.
Does IGF-1 LR3 accelerate gray hair?
Honestly don't know. Good question, but I can't answer it.
BPC-157 and TB-500
Does BPC-157 help with fat loss?
Sounds like a dumb question but it's a good one. Yes, I've seen it. BPC-157 helps with anabolism and I think it has an effect on androgen receptor density. I want to do more research before I go deep on this, but there's something there. Throwing BPC-157 in alongside a fat loss peptide and a growth hormone peptide doesn't hurt.
Do I need to time BPC-157 an hour before/after meals?
Yes.
TB-500 sub-Q in the belly?
Yes. Unless you're injecting directly to an injury, sub-Q works. I usually do BPC and TB sub-Q in the deltoid.
Will BPC and TB help a mild bulging disc?
Yes for soft tissue and inflammation. If it's bone-on-bone, neither of these are doing much. They work on soft tissue and cartilage.
Can I give TB-500 to my dog?
Yes. Haven't done it myself but it's fine for joint pain in dogs.
Rotating BPC-157 and TB-500 to avoid antibody buildup?
Good thinking. Antibody response is specific to the molecule, not all peptides. So you can run BPC for eight weeks, switch to TB, and rotate back. You're not building general resistance.
Storage and Travel
How do you store bac water?
Fridge or room temp both work. I keep mine in the fridge next to my peptides. Glass bottles are better than plastic in my experience. Plastic can heat up, and I notice more injection site reactions correlate with plastic bac water. Could be coincidence, but I'd avoid plastic when possible.
Traveling with reconstituted tirzepatide through TSA?
I always put peptides in my checked bag. They're not illegal, but TSA will scrutinize. Insulin cooler with ice packs is good for 12-16 hours.
How long does tirzepatide last in the fridge once mixed?
8 to 12 weeks, no problem.
Sterile water instead of bac water?
Technically yes, but storage is a bigger issue. Just use bac water.
Nasal Sprays
Are nasal spray peptides effective?
Yes, especially the nootropic ones. I just prefer injecting.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide nasal sprays?
No. Knowing how those work, I'd say someone is selling snake oil. Open to being proven wrong.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
Should I take it when I'm physically exhausted?
Yes. Won't hurt. It's working on mitochondrial health.
10mg/day for 56 days straight, or 5 on 2 off?
10mg/day is the healing dose. I've used as low as 500mcg/day for sleep and energy benefits. For severe issues, 10mg/day. Therapeutic maintenance, 500mcg. Take as much as you can afford.
LL-37
Will it help a tooth infection?
Yes. LL-37 is antibacterial. It's more of an immune modulator than a true antibiotic, but it should help.
Diet and binders for candida/SIBO with LL-37?
I'd add activated charcoal, spirulina, chlorella, and zeolite. Throw metformin in there too. Apple pectin, psyllium husk, activated charcoal as binders all make sense.
Tesofensine
Will it affect my commercial license drug test?
Potentially. It's an SNDRI. I don't know enough about drug testing protocols to say for sure. Err on the side of caution.
Best time to take it?
First thing in the morning. Anything later and it could keep you up.
Stack with dihexa?
You could, but it'd be overkill and probably wouldn't feel good.
Is there an injectable tesofensine?
No. Capsule only. If someone's selling injectable tesofensine, don't buy it.
Nootropics Beyond Adderall
Anything comparable to Adderall without the comedown?
Plenty. Testosterone, tesofensine, CMAX, teacrine. Adderall is one of the worst options because it's an amphetamine. Optimized testosterone alone, man or woman, will make you sharper and more focused than most nootropics combined.
Ipamorelin and Tesamorelin
Does the hunger from ipamorelin go away?
Most people don't get much appetite increase. If you do, it usually fades in 7 to 10 days. Way better than MK-677.
How do I stack tesamorelin with ipamorelin?
Ipamorelin in the morning, tesamorelin at night. Or split both half and half. My standard is ipamorelin AM, tesamorelin PM.
Dosing a 6mg/2mg blend vial?
Reconstitute with 1ml of water. Pull 10 units. That gets you 600mcg tesamorelin and 200mcg ipamorelin, 800mcg total. Half in the morning, half at night. People overcomplicate this.
Ipamorelin: 300mcg once or three times daily?
Start low. 300mcg/day total is a solid starting point. You can go 200mcg twice for 600. Some people do 900. Depends on response. Always get blood work done before starting peptides to make sure you're hormonally optimized.
Other Questions
L-carnitine plus L-carnosine?
Great combo. Both work alone, but together you'll notice better endurance and cognitive benefit. I should do a full video on carnosine.
Berberine instead of metformin?
Why not both. Berberine is a blood sugar tool. Metformin is blood sugar plus gut health plus inflammation suppression plus microbiome benefits. Berberine is also a supplement, so quality control is whatever. Metformin is pharmaceutical grade. I use both.
Dihydroberberine as a metformin replacement?
Same answer. Use both, don't replace.
L-carnitine vs Super Shredder?
Super Shredder has albuterol in it, which is great for fat loss but makes me jittery and shaky all day. The regular Shredder skips the albuterol. Honestly, I'd rather take a gram of straight L-carnitine. More stable, no stimulant crash.
AOD-9604 after CJC-1295/Ipamorelin?
Yes. Continue the fat loss momentum.
Peptides for vision?
Bioregulators help. Carbon 60 for macular degeneration. BPC-157 and TB-500 also. This deserves its own video.
IM vs sub-Q at 0.5ml?
You can do 0.5ml sub-Q. Not the most comfortable, but it works. Depends on whether the substance is water-based or oil-based.
Stacking AOD, MT2, tirzepatide, and tesamorelin (45-year-old female)?
Throw the MT2 in the trash and get MT1. Then MT1 1-2x per week, tirzepatide 1x per week, AOD Monday-Friday AM, tesamorelin Monday-Friday PM. There's your stack.
Folistatin review?
Soon. I need to get some and run it personally before I do a real review. I always want firsthand experience plus client data before I make a video.
77 years old, can I get HGH instead of peptides?
Yes, if you're resourceful. Most people don't have a resource problem, they have a resourcefulness problem. At 77, real growth hormone will work way better than peptides. I can't tell you where to get it.
Bioregulators not from Russia?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, I have an active hand in something behind the scenes. Stay tuned.
My Take
That's about 50 questions. If you've got more, drop them in the comments and I'll add them to the list for next time. I might bring my girlfriend Taylor on for the next Q&A to make it more conversational. Grab the peptide cheat sheet in the description if you haven't already. Sorry about the triple agonist
Full transcript click any paragraph to jump video
Hey everybody, this is Hunter Williams. I hope you were doing amazing wherever you're out in the world. Today is going to be a Q and A video. So this a long overdue video, ironically enough, I actually spent all day or all morning this morning working on a really cool, awesome video about a certain peptide that is a triple agonist that helps with fat loss. And you may know what I'm talking about if you are in The Know or you can just Google trickle triple agonist peptide for fat loss. And you'll see what I'm talking about.
It was like 23 minutes long. I edited, did everything and I uploaded it to YouTube and it didn't even publish it. Just uploaded into my unlisted videos and my channel got a warning because they didn' want me talking bout that specific peptides I guess. So what i will do is probably publish that on my podcast, just the audio version and i have the video with all the slides and stuff. So I don't know where I could publish it, you know, other than like inside our private membership group or wherever people want that video.
But anyway, so what I'm doing now for the next, we'll probably roll this video for like 30 minutes is basically just going to do a Q&A video so I have been compiling all of the questions I get from you guys on my channel. Um, and we're just going to wrap through those today. So, uh, without further ado, let's hop into it also to just plug the beginning. If you want the peptide cheat sheet, you can check out the link in the description down below and download that. I'll sign you up for my email list and I will go from there. Hopefully this isn't a harbinger of things to come.
Uh, cause the channel is growing a lot lately. It's kind of crazy. Like how many people are coming to the. But anyway, um, Let's go ahead and, Go through these questions. So I'm just going to pull them up. I am not going show the screen for this because I have literally all these question I've copy and pasted from my YouTube channel into a Word document. But if you have asked a channel on or a question on my channel, most likely it's going be in there. And these go back probably for like eight weeks or so. Let's get into it. First one, five amino.
Do you take 150 milligrams all at once or three throughout the day? Typically I'm going to take not all it once. I would probably take two in the morning or one at night. And I'd like to get the two end before training session. So good question. Next one is about KPV and someone asked about using it with BPC-157. That is totally cool. You can use KPB with BP 157, I have done so. So you can definitely do that. Someone said, quick question. I am thinking about stacking six peptides at the same time.
Is that a good idea? Depends on the peptides, depends on a person. I can't really answer that without knowing individually. Typically no though. So I will typically say like always start with one, maybe two peptide to really see how your body responds to them. A lot of people come in, they're like, I want to build muscle, burn fat, heal autoimmune disease and make my brain in a super computer. And I'm going to take 12 peptidies to do so. Now I say, whoa, let's slow down and really examine what we're trying to. Do so typically I am going say no to that question.
The next question is around ARA290. Someone said, so I found a bottle with eight milligrams in it on Limitless. So that would only cover four days worth of dosing two milligram a day. That is correct. A lot of these peptides guys, they're not cheap because they work and it's not like a supplement on Amazon. I don't know. offhand with the pricing for AR-A290, but that person would be correct because they get a question similar to that all the time of like, is that right?
Could I possibly be using a vial every two or three days? And yeah, sometimes a Vial, depending on how much is in there, just depends on the peptide, it can last for a month or maybe even two months, The last part of that question was trying to treat my wife's nerve pain and help wean her off the opioid if possible. Definitely that would be a useful use case for ARA290. Uh, next question was said, uh, what about L carnitine coupled with L carnosine work well together? Uh yeah, definitely.
Um, I think, you know, those two together, they work both well in isolation. Uh you're probably going to notice much, much more, endurance and more of a cognitive benefit if you were combining those together. So, um, good one there. I probably should do a video on carnisine. Someone says, so I'm considering this for visceral fat reduction. They're talking about IGF-1-LR3. Um, they said, uh, my subject recently had blood work done and IG-F1 levels were slightly high. I don't know what that means. The subject seems to be suffering from insulin resistance during fat loss.
And I understand that GF and IGF are not exactly the same thing. Would this peptide be a good thing to research for helping reduce visceral fat? The scale is reporting 11 pounds of viseral fat. Um, you could, I would definitely go with like Tessameral and Intrazapetide before I go to IGF-1-LR3 for visceral fat reduction. Not saying that IG-F1 LR3 couldn't help if done in the right dose, but I'd just use Tessemeral. Testosterone is going to be, you know, potentially the strongest for visceral fat reduction coupled with turzapotide for insulin resistance.
That's really going help. So next question is about ARA290. Someone said, I wonder how effective this would be for sciatica. I ruptured a disc. My back in the late nineties and never had surgery. Fast forward to today, I'm still lifting it once in a while, getting the sharp pain down my left leg and some numbness in that foot. And it's more aggravating than anything. So yes, that would definitely be effective of that. I can't promise it. It's going to help everything, but as far as nerve pain goes, it definitely should help with that Next question is around Melanotan-1.
So do you think as a skin type 1 person, I don't know what that means. I'm guessing it means they're more pale. They said, do think that Melantan 1 will be able to get me tan? I tried MT2, Melatantin-2 about a year ago. And had very bad stomach cramps and abdominal pain. So I stopped out of fear. Uh, well, that was your first mistake. Melanin 10 two, uh, definitely will cause stomach, cramp, abdominal pains, even dry heaving. I would avoid my 10 to at all costs. Um, for a multitude of reasons that are outside the scope of this video, but, um, They said, I want to give Molantan-1 a shot because I've heard the side
effects are less to none. I have seen on the internet different forms of people trying Molentan 1 and not seeing any results at all because they're a lot less potent than Molntan 2. Um, i guess, but it kind of depends. And so we're now getting to the question. So basically just wondering if you think Molantean one will be able to get me fairly dark. Also, if there's any way that you could head towards a supplier. Nope, nope, so thanks for the response. So if you need to supply, you know, I have nothing, nothing to do with where to buy peptides from whatsoever.
Publicly facing and To the question, so Melanotan-1, yes, it would definitely help this person work on getting darker. Now, if you're really, really pale, I'm not going to say it's going turn you like as tan as me or as someone from the Mediterranean or whatever, but it definitely will help. And I would just never use Melantan 2 anyway. So I'll use melanoton1c results and you can kind of titrate the dose from there, But it is much safer to titrait up melantoton 1 than melatoton 2. Melanotan 2,
you're going to kind of hit this threshold in which you will probably have the dry heaving, the stomach cramps, and nausea and everything. So in my experience, Melantan 1, that comes at a much higher dosage. Maybe it is less potent, but I think it's also just better overall because the tan is a lot better. Overall, I mean, most people would say, it was the summertime, here where I'm at, even I was doing my cardio outside. Um, today, like in direct sunlight, I never have to use sunscreen in the summer. And for the most part, it gives me like a really nice complexion. Uh, sometimes that probably doesn't come through on the camera, but, um, for me and my skin type, that works really well.
So, let's see. Next one is. I got a bottle of oral KPV, it's 250 micrograms, not milligrams, or oral dosing protocol was 250 milligrams. That is probably correct. It's probably 250 micrograms. And so when I was doing that, I probably mistranslated the dosage injected wise to oral. So 250 grams for oral is correct if that's the amount that comes in a capsule that you're getting.
Next question is, how do you store backwater for reconstitution? Does it stay room temperature in the fridge? You can really do both. I've done both, I keep mine in a fridge anyway, but it's not something that you have to keep in your fridge. Again, you don't want it really hot, and I think it is fine if it isn't a cool dark place. But I just keep it in my fridge right next to my peptide. Either was fine. I will say I tend to get better experiences or have better experience with backwater that comes in glass, as opposed to plastic, because I think sometimes the plastic can heat up.
And it seems like when people have more reactions to peptides at the injection site, this is just correlation. It seems that their back water came in plastic. So I wonder, plastic heats up and I wondered how much of that plastic gets into the water and then you inject that and it could slightly irritate you more because obviously plastic's not good. Next question is, please tell me if the nasal spray peptides are effective. Yes, they are. Effective. I don't personally like them or gravitate towards them, but they're definitely effective and you can use them.
A lot of the nootropic ones are affective, um, I just like injecting better. So they definitely affect. This is around Matzi. Would you recommend to take it when one is already physically exhausted? Absolutely. I don't think it's going to hurt. There's a lot going on there, probably related to physical exhaustion, but you can definitely take if you're exhausted. It's what helps with mitochondrial health. Let's see, I'm not new to peptides, but I am new Melanotan-1. I understand the importance of getting sun and how much better it makes me feel.
My only slight concern is if I do have some freckles on my face that are like half-faded, i'm nervous it'll enhance them, But either way,i'm just going to start low dose and see what happens. Yeah, so I tend to,I mean I don't know if you can see like in the camera I'll try to get like my phase close. Like I have Now, before I ever use Melanotan one, when I would get tan, it would make my freckles come out. So I guess it's one of those things. I don't think Melantan necessarily exacerbates freckels, but if you get tanner, typically it'll like bring freccles out more.
In my experience, I do get more frecules when tan. But I think that's more just a reflection of that. getting tan, not so much the melanotan one. My girlfriend's the same way, you know, her skin complexion, she gets freckles when she tans more. And so I do think that's there, but I think part of it too, is the melaton one protects against burning. So depending on your skin, complexions, the most important thing you can do is avoid burning so, um, But again, use started at low dose, like 250 micrograms and kind of go from there.
Someone asked, does BPC 157 help you lose fat? Ironically enough, this sounds like a dumb question. It's actually a good question, yes, I have seen this. I think what is happening is one, BBC 156 helps with animalism, which is muscle growth, And I think BPC-157, this is a good topic for a video, helps with androgen receptor density. So basically kind of like binding affinity for the androgens receptor. I'm not going to like go into that just because I would want to do more research and button that out before I present an argument.
But yes, there's something going on there with that. You're correct. Um, I, would recommend like throwing in Bpc- 157 if you're using a fat loss peptide and a growth hormone peptides together. It definitely doesn't hurt. Um, someone said instead of bacteria or static water can stir water be used? Technically. Yes. I just avoid against that because there's a lot more like storage issues and stuff with sterile water. Um so yes, but please don't do that. Use bacteria, static, water, Next one is Melanotan-1. You can see like I scraped these from certain videos, but I think it's relevant.
Melantan 1 is, you know, at summertime now. So if you guys are watching this, when it is being published, I'm thinking it'd be helpful. Is there any concern if the flushing and nausea feeling persists for an hour or two? I am just starting out with 200 micrograms twice per week in the morning. I feel a bit jittery for a couple of hours afterwards. Not necessarily. I think if that is a problem and it's inhibitory to you, you could definitely eat some food. You know, I know if it is your fasting day you're not going to want to eat, but I would say eat food that tends to help make sure you are hydrated,
have electrolytes and stuff. Typically for me, it goes away within like 10 minutes or so. But again, just depends on the dose. Everyone is different with the dosage, so as always, start low. Someone said they were taking five amino, one MQ with terzapotide. Do you agree this is a good stack? Absolutely, yeah. I think anything you can do to support muscle growth, just make sure you're resistant training, but anything like that you could do, to help with muscle gross alongside terazapitide, I would tend to lean on a growth hormone peptide in conjunction with those.
So find it, five-amino is basically an enzyme inhibitor that helps raise NAD plus levels, so it's gonna help you build muscle and burn fat. But yeah, definitely a supplement. Someone says, is there anywhere to purchase by regulators that don't originate from Russia? This is fitting timing. I tried purchasing from key supplements almost six months ago and never received my order. It'll ship soon every time I reach out looking for an updated refund. Short answer, yes. Long answer I can't really say yet because this is in the works behind the scenes and I have an active hand in this.
So stay tuned for that. I will be talking more about that soon. Someone said for TB500, is TB 500 and BPC 157 helpful for a mild bulging disc? Yes, but when we talk about disc, it kind of depends on like you're going to get a pain relief benefit and an inflammation benefit suppression or inflammation suppression benefit from it. But it gets tough because if it's bone on bone, It's not really going do anything because both of those work on soft tissue and cartilage versus the bone-on-bone.
So yes and no, just depends the certain case. Um, someone said I've seen injectable. So fencing does it only come in capsule form or they said, I haven't seen it. Injectable test offending is the only coming capsule for me. Yes. I have never seen an injectible test offense and that only comes in capsules. Good question. Cause if someone's selling it at, please do not buy it, um, So this is around Ipamerelin. Does the feeling of increased hunger at the beginning of use for Ippamerelin decrease over time based on you and your client's experience?
I know it's supposed to be less than something like MK but still present. Yes, so a lot of people don't get increased appetite on it, but I think, you know, especially relative to MK. But with Iphameralin, if you do get a little bit of appetite, in my experience with people I've coached, it probably goes away in like seven to 10 days. So yeah, it's definitely better and definitely not going to be as bad as like MK. Um, someone said playing with simulglutide with ultra low dose week four and using only, uh, 0.25 start dosing.
Sorry. Some people just, their grammar is not right. So I do my best. Um. Forgive me. Uh, you mentioned possibly doing the same with TURS at one milligram in the fashion. I was wondering if you've heard of anybody combining these two low-dose approaches. Yeah, definitely. And so I talked about that actually the video that I trying to publish for today. Uh, I talked a lot about that. Um, but basically, yes, you could definitely use one milligram of turz appetite, especially if you were not like super focused on fat loss. If you're already pretty low body fat and you just wanted all the other benefits, um, yeah, would do like one milligrams of TURZ.
Uh I, uh, just don't think you would relative to semi-glutide, relative as Turd's appetite. I don' think semi glutides worth it. So, Um I know it's a little cheaper, let's see. Someone said, when are you going to review a folistatin? whenever I can get some and the problem is, uh, That's a weird one. You know, I should do a review on it. I just buy some and get it and, you know like experiment with it, and see there's, a ton of different stuff though. And when I do my videos I like to have like a really solid use case of my own personal experience and the people I work with.
and I know there was like, A doctor, forget his name, but he's like big into that. He's on all the podcasts and stuff. So I've heard that's the future, But, we'll see, it'll be cool. There's gonna be a lot that is really cool coming in the Someone said, you have the best information about peptides out there. Oh, thank you so much. Love your videos. Uh, I think you guys, that really means a lot to me. I know like I can't respond to every comment, but it does mean a lots of me to know that the work I'm doing is, um, fruitful to people. So thank guys without you, uh, there is no me so.
Uh, someone said traveling with truze appetite next week reconstituted. I put it in a carrying case made for vials that are insulated to keep cold, go through TSA. It's a movement of me carrying the peptides, going to mess them up and make them less effective. So, um, as long as they're in an insulin cooler with, uh, fridge packs. No. Um, I always put my peptide. In my check bag. Just because even though they are not illegal or anything like that, it's just like draw more scrutiny from T S a, if you're going through security. So I always put them in my check bag, but just make sure, obviously it depends on like how long you're traveling for.
But I mean, with an insulin cooler with ice packs in it, you should be good for at least 12 to 16 hours when you are traveling as long as the ice pack stays cold. So that's what I do. And it's really easy to do so. Uh, what do you keep your peptide vials in? Um, at home, I keep them in a little basket that I have in my fridge. So I've got all my peptides vial and I just put it in the basket in fridge, um, and kind of put like on a shelf where I'm not, you know, like opening the door or anything like shaking them around a lot or whatever. Um.
Let's see, this next one's around testo-fincine. So someone says, well, taking this affect my commercial license? I guess they mean the commercial pilot license. I'm afraid sometimes they even take an Advil or anything for pre-roll shop and random urine test, or it could be, I'd guess like a commercial driver's license or I don't know. Potentially, yes. You know, it's an S in DRI, so I dunno, enough about the drug testing, if that's gonna pop up, So I can't really advise, but I would just say err on the side of caution.
Let's see. So for someone looking to run LL37 for its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, do you have any insights in terms of diet and potential binders? For this use case, I've seen people recommending going on water fast and running elimination diets while dosing up to 500 micrograms every day for two to three weeks. Whereas I've also seen people recommending taking 125 to 250 micrograms every day while staying on a normal diet in order to trigger, alert, activate the candida that might be sleeping or hiding. Absolutely zero literature on what's this from what I can find.
And I probably won't find anything. It's just not a lot of money around it, but would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this. If it matters, given how the peptide works. Anti-fungal slash antibacterial diets are often no sugar, low carbs to starve it out. But I'm also seeing good success with carb pulsing to activate fungi, hence the question. Yeah, I don't know enough about like carb pulsing or whatever around that. It makes sense. But short answer. I would consider activated charcoal, spirulina, chlorella, and zeolite in addition to LL-37.
If you have like SIBO or Candida or any of those things, then obviously to throw in that formin. That's what everyone else always forgets about when it comes to that stuff. I would throw those in as well. Oh, and then I think they put secondarily like as a follow-up, using binders make any sense at all, like apple pectin, psyllium husk, or activated charcoal. Yep, there you go. So on the same wavelength there. Someone said, sorry guys, some of the grammar on these is so confusing.
I try to put it in a comprehensive way. For future use, to make this useful, if you write with proper grammar, it helps me. Someone said, I guess, uh, with BPC 157, do I need to time the injections an hour after and before a meal? Yes, you do. Also want to know if TB 500 should be done sub Q on the belly fit. Yes. It should. If you, unless you're injecting it to an injury, um, I put both sub Q into deltoid.
I've done the TB and the belly fat and beeping disorder. Uh, if you have a hurt shoulder, you can do both of them. You can actually combine them in the same syringe. Um, one milligram AM and PM of BPC. That's fine if have an injury. Someone said TB 500. Can I give this to my dog? Absolutely. uh, I haven't given it my dogs, uh but definitely can give TB, 500 BTC to your dogs. If they have joint pain or anything like that. Someone says, was wondering, is there anything comparable to Adderall in the nootropic space or peptides without the come down?
Pretty sure Aderall gave me anhedonia and I just don't want to take any more. Yeah, I mean, first of all, testosterone, that helps a lot. Tesofensine helps, CMAX helps. Tiacrine helps so there absolutely is. I should do like a tier list of noootropics and Aderal would be like one of the worst ones because it's an amphetamine. Um, so yeah, there's so much out there that's better on Adderall, namely testosterone, like testosterone and having higher levels of testosterone in your body,
whether you're a man or woman will make you smarter and more focused than a lot of nootropics were in almost all of them. So, um, someone says, how long does. There's appetite last in the fridge once mixed with bath water. I usually order the five milligram, but, uh, ordered the 10 milligram if it lasts. Yeah, yeah. There is appetite lasts, you know, eight, 12 weeks in a fridge. No problem. So, um, next question. Someone says I've I'm 77 years old. And I have joined a gym. Um, dieting and walking and doing some regular gym workouts.
But can I get growth hormone instead of trying to rely on peptides? Yes, you can. Don't ask me for it though. I'm on a budget, fixed income, have lost about 50 pounds over the last 18 months, 5'8", 190 pounds. How can it fix my problem? Are there any online doctors who will subscribe to HGH? Online doctors, I don't know, but you can definitely go places. Can I get it for Mexico? You could, if you're resourceful. Most people don' have a resource problem, they have resourcefulness problem. He says I'm on testosterone 500ish. I guess that means 500 milligrams a week.
Good for you, man. If you are 77, you'll probably be on 500mg a day of testosterone when I am 77 too, hopefully. Yeah. So I can't really talk about getting growth hormone guys, but just know that, you know, if you're 77, it's going to work a whole heck of a lot better than peptides. That's for sure. IGF-1, LR-3, does it accelerate your hair turning gray? I don't know, actually. I guess, I dunno if that's possible. So, maybe.
But yeah, that I do not know on that one. Good question. Someone says, on your cheat sheet says three milliliters of water to 10 milligrams of Melanotan-I. Does it take a while to build up in your system before you will notice a tan developing? Yeah, and obviously, too, you got to tan. You got go in the sun or you gotta do a tanning bed. I would prefer the Sun, obviously. Is more needed for those who want a darker tan? Yeah. Obviously, like the more you do to a point, it's going to make you darker. So, but yeah, I mean, It's not going happen overnight. Kind of depends on your complexion, how pale or tan you are naturally.
Next question, someone says, can you do AOD 9604 after CJC 1295 plus Ipamerelin? Absolutely, you can definitely do that and hopefully accelerate or continue the fat loss you've experienced from Ippamerelin. Um, so it says if I take four different peptides in the AM, can I put them into one injection? Any more recommendations on how to do that? Depends on the peptide. You know, if it's BPC one or BTC, uh, TB 500 and GHK, I've put all of those in a peptid before and had good effect.
But if there's a Bpc, turzapetide, epimerelin, and I wouldn't put any of them together in peptids. So again, it just depends guys. Um. What about berberine instead of metformin? Good question. I'd say why not both? I use both of them together. Think of berberein as blood sugar and met formin is bloodsugar plus gut health plus inflammation suppression, plus mental health, you know, like all these other benefits that are so good plus microbiome plus good gut bacteria.
So everyone's like, well, can't I just use berberine instead? Also too, when you buy berberein, you're buying it as a supplement. Who knows how much you are actually getting versus metformins prescribed. So at least we have pharmaceutical controls around it. Even though I trash pharmacies or excuse me, big pharma. Um, there is at least like some sort of quality and, uh, sterility control. So, um, do I have any info on semaglutide and interzapotide nasal spray? No, I don't, imagine those would be effective knowing the delivery mechanism and how they work on the body. I would say away if someone's probably trying to sell you snake oil, but hey, open to being proven wrong.
Um, someone says, how would I use Testamerelin with Ipamerelin at the same time? Uh, I would use Iprameralin in the morning and Testimeraline at night, or you could use half and half in morning, half at half night. So it really is up to you. Uh my go-to standard though, is use Impramelin the in in and testimereline in at nighttime. Um, the next question around that regarding the dose schedule for testosterone evenings and early mornings, when is the optimal dose time? If I'm researching the blended vial of six, two, I actually answered this the other day on a live stream I was doing with Jay.
Um. If you have a blend of it primarily in testosterone, and I would just do half the morning and half at night. So that's pretty much it. I probably should do a video on like how to do the dosing. Basically, it's like this. Like if that were me, hypothetically speaking, I would put one ml of water into that and then do 10 units. That means I'd be getting 600 micrograms of testamerelin and 200 micro grams of epimereline for a total of 800 micro-gram total. And that's it. A lot of people over-complicate that, but that that is all you're doing.
There's eight milligrams of total peptides in the vial, six of which are testosterone and two of them are hypermerelin. And so when you reconstitute it, you're just getting like whatever fraction you are taking out in injection. So that's about as simply and clear as I can explain it. Someone says, I'm confused on a dosage when it comes to one to three times per day. Is it 300? I guess they're talking about hypermerlin here. Is it 300 one time, 103 times, or should I take 900 milligrams per day? Also, please advise on any blood testing I should do before, during, and after cycle.
We should always do your blood test to get your hormones checked before doing peptides and make sure that you're hormonally optimized. But I would do, it depends, but I will do 300 micrograms a day total. You could do 200 micro grams twice for 600, you could even 900 per today, But it really just depends on you and how you respond to it. The answer is yes and no to all of them. So start low and go slow. That's what I will say. Start at the lowest dose, then kind of go up from there. Next question is, how does L-carnitine compare to super shredder?
Super shredders crazy, guys. I've used super shredded a lot, but every time I use it, even if I used a small dose it just makes me shaky and jittery the rest of the day. And the reason is because it has injectable, or it's has albuterol, and so you're injecting albuterol which works really well for fat loss, but it will also just make you like jittery and amped for the whole day. So I like the shredder, which does not have albuterol in it. so, you don't get like that stimulatory effect because albederols are stimulant. Um, so L-Carnitine is in super shredding and the Shredder.
But it is, I think, 200 milligrams in the shredded and 400 milligrams super shredded. So honestly, like I would rather take like a gram of L-carnitine because that's going to be like turbocharged like fat loss and stuff as opposed to like one ml of super shredder. So they're both good, but you know, I'd say L carnitene would be more of like stable and a staple of my routine than super shredded or the shredders. Not that I don't use them, Someone said, do you know any peptides to improve vision?
It's a good question. I probably should do a video on this. You know, there's bioregulators out there that will help with that. Carbon 60 helps with macular degeneration and then BPC and TB 500 definitely will as well. But yeah, that's, a great idea for a longer video that I can do to go in depth on. Uh, someone said LL 37, would this help with a tooth infection? Um, yes. So L37 is antibacterial. If you have an infection by default, it should help. And again, that's more of a modulator.
But it's like an immune system modulators opposed to like, you know, antibiotic, if that makes sense. Um. Someone says, I have what might be a silly question is IM or intramuscular subcutaneous could one pin two, two comma 0.25 ML in a separate locations SQ versus 1.5 ML IM is the concern volume or absorption. I asked for this for those who are not comfortable with IM. Yeah, you can definitely do that.
Um, I mean you could, yeah, you can definitely do that if you wanted to, but just be, I can't answer specifically because like different substances you would do sub Q versus IM. So I, mean, if wanted you, could do 0.5 ML sub-Q. I've done that before. It's not the most comfortable thing, But it depends on, is it water-based or is oil-base or whatever. Someone said is dihydro berberine except a replacement for metformin. I will refer back to what I just said earlier.
Use both of them together, but I would say it's not a placement for Metformine. Can you please tell me when the best time to take test of fencing is? Yes. Very first thing in the morning, right? When you get up, you don't want to it any time after that because it could potentially keep you up. Do you have any experience stacking with dihexa? I don' I mean, You could definitely do those together. But I, I feel like that would be overkill and it just wouldn't feel that good. So I'd say no. Um, 45 year old female who has AOD, melatonin 2, trisapatite, and tetramelan.
How should I stack those? Uh, Melanotin-2, you can start by stacking, stacking that by throwing it in the trash and get melanotonin 1. And then once we have melantion 1, I would take that one to two times per week. Uh I'd take trizapatide once per a week and then you could use Aod Monday through Friday in morning and the tetromelane Monday to Friday at night. So boom, there you go, sample peptide stack. Um. I haven't used that yet. I will be getting some and using it soon though. So good idea for a review video coming up.
Thank you. Here's a good one. Could you please clarify 10 milligrams for 56 days straight or five days on two days off for total 40 milligrams? of SS-31. So SS 31, obviously the healing dose would be 10 milligrams per day, but it's kind of up to you. Now I've used as little as 500 micrograms per date to get benefits for sleep and benefits or energy. But if you're talking about like healing, severe issues, you know, whatever it is, can go back and refer to that video. 10mg a day seems to be like the, healing amount and the therapeutic amount would like 500mcg per days.
Yes, I would say it's one of those ones like take as much as you can and can afford. So let's see. Some of these are really the same thing of ones I've ever answered. What are your thoughts on rotating the use of BPC-17 and TB-500? Would this help avoid antibody buildup or is the antibody built up a general response to any peptide, not each specific one? Great question. Yes. You are right in your thinking that For instance, like if you were trying to help with inflammation, obviously BPC and TB are different,
but you could use one. And then when you come off of that one after eight weeks, use the other and go back on and back and forth. So you're getting like the benefit of both. Yes, you are right. Um, so general antibody response is not like, if take one peptide, You don't build up resistance to all peptides. You just build resistance that peptid and that specific molecule. Uh, So that's why you can cycle on, and use something else. That's kind of why we interchange based on those. Um, on that note, it looks like we are 32 minutes in, so I'm going to go ahead and shut that down. That was like around 50 questions or so.
So, uh, there's a lot more questions to come. Uh, if you guys have questions, obviously to drop them down in this video and I will add them to my list to get to, I know it's been a while since I did one of these. And also to let me know if this is helpful. I know it's like different than what I used to do or usually do, but, um, I think it was helpful to you guys too. And I also potentially could bring my girlfriend on, uh, Taylor to, do a, another Q and a video and get her perspective. So it just a little bit more conversational. Um, yeah. Thoughts and feedbacks are much appreciated. Sign up for the peptide cheat sheet and, sorry to disappoint. Uh, had a really cool video about a triple agonist GLP peptides, that YouTube gave me a warning for.
Again, I've got to be smart about like how I strategize the channel and then talk about that stuff in private. But I just want to give so much and YouTube does not like me giving a lot of what I can give. So appreciate you guys much love and I'll talk to you next one. Peace.
