@researchcat My game plan is to take ATX-0304, then layer in SS-31, and then transition to MOTS-C. I'll add NAD+ at some point. My curiousity was around the effective dosage for SS-31. I'm 48. I'm looking at SS-31 like an oil change for my mitochondria, not an engine overhaul. I've seen claims that 40mg daily of SS-31 has the same effect as 4mg daily for most people. Here is a video recommending 5-10mg/day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjUm5gkSwRk Here is an article recommending 5mg/day. https://www.innerbody.com/ss-31-peptide If that is the case, that is a huge cost variance from the protocol Randy posted above - Roughly 300mg vs 1000mg over a 60 day period. I was curious if people felt like sticking with the 4-5mg dose for 60 days was effective, based on their research.

@richardthearce@gmail I don’t understand what you mean, you wouldn’t do KLOW in one vial. It comes in a single vial…

I have had geat success with bpc for a shoulder injury. Had limited ROM and within 2 days there was significant improvement. I was very skeptical at first but the improvement continued until full recovery. I was going to PT 2X a week for 3 months with no improvement and then I decided to try bpc and dropped my PT completely.

Nope. Thats a scheduled substance. But I would be surprised if there weren't some Chinese vendors in the gray zone with it

So a little trick you can do is you can get those pH piss test strips. And you can get a rough idea of what the pH is on one of those

I received my Thymulin order from BL, had a quick turnaround. Only thing I frowned at, and this probably isn't a big deal, as it sounds like this happens with pucks. The shape or lack thereof was all broken up, not like Southern Aminos, which came as a nice tight shape. I'll know more once I begin my research. The amount of emails I get from BL though, OMG, can I just browse a product without getting a gazillion of them lol I'll have to change my preferences to less of those if that option is avail.

@myb at least you went far down a rabbit hole... as noted above I was drive by speculating...

@Nolan Based on my reading and practice, it is 500mcg (each) daily for maintenance and up to 1mg per day for injury repair. There are some folks here who research much higher levels..

I just got a couple tests from Peptira in this morning. I've also got what they have posted on their site.

Yeah this one is real. The desire to date goes out the window anytime I pump myself full of GLP's.

Id start following the phase 3 trial guidelines. Some will say you can start higher but you will likely experience the skin sensitivity that way. Another option is to add cag or maz/survo for the "ghetto reta" stack (my favorite).

@USSLiberty Personally my take is to always start on that low dose and see how you feel after doing it a couple times. Then go up if you aren’t feeling the desired effects. My bunny reacts completely different to my results. This is a marathon of life not a sprint, although I have a tendency to want to try more so I bought my peptides refrigerator this week and have probably a 18-24 month plan…

@WisGal64 Im still on my 1st vial of Survo and have had no side effects except reaching my weight loss goal while musle mass gains. Ive added CJC/ IPA blend at night to fine tune the visceral fat and deep sleep is amazing

I do glutathione as a nasal spray because it crosses the blood brain barrier easier. It also increases glutathione in the brain significantly over subq or iv. As long as your peptide has a molecule weight under 500 daltons it is a candidate for nasal administration. If it is a peptide that crosses the BBB you will get better concentrations in the brain and nervous system via nasal administration. You can test using a nasal dart. It is an atomizer with luer lock end. It can be reused as long as it is only reused on the same research subject. You will also want to dilute with saline because bac water alone stings something terrible.

@brithus said in ARA 290: @Randy I second this suggestion! Cartalax has helped my neck and back issues immensely. I had C4,5,6 fused in my neck over 10 years ago and now the vertabrae above and below are wearing out due to the added stress of compensating for the fusion. After about 3 weeks of Cartalax, pain level is 80-90%less I have a monkey in my lab who has old rotator cuff injuries, had surgery years ago, started having a lot of pain, couldn't raise arms above head without extreme pain. Began researching cartalax a month ago along with BP and TB. Fast forward to today, pain has lessened a good 50+% that's good progress!

@TShivers said in Tesamorelin Research Dosing Protocol: @ResearchCat.... I've been on the Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin injections for several wks now so far with EXCELLENT results.... I do (2) injections daily of Ipamorelin....0.25mg of Ipamorelin dose in the mornings (fasted before breakfast) and another 0.25mg dose of Ipamorelin at night before bed for 5 days a wk. The Tesamorelin I take just once nightly at a 2mg dose before bed for 5 days a week. Saturday and Sundays are my days off Hope this helps answer your question. Did you start at 2mg and .5mg or did you titrate up to that level?

I have Mots-c from 2 different vendors First Mots I re-constituted did not come out as clear as the other peptides I have researched (Reta, TB+BP). I had another Mots from another vendor which re-constituted slightly clearer than the first, but still a little cloudy. Does Mots usually re-constitute crystal clear or is it known to re-constitute a little cloudy Neither of the Mots vials I reconstituted have been used for research yet.

@randy sorry for the confusion. It isn't the NAD that had flakes it was the AOD-9604 I got from LA Pep.
