    Thank you Eleanor. Im wanting to research glp3, Tesamorelin and perhaps GHK-cu. I’ll add further tags and see how that goes but I know being in Aus is probably a problem with this research as few people talk about it openly.

    I’ve been using EZ Pep and Nexaph Glow/Klow for several months and am very happy with the results. Planning to order more Klow soon. Not that worried about it. I have bought a bunch of peps from them and have been happy with the concentration and purity, so this falls into an extension of confidence for me.

    I think nothing will spare muscle as long as youre starving yourself. Seen some writing about epicatechin, tmg, and hmb all helping with muscle sparing or growth. As for peptides you could look into gh secreteagouges to spare some while in harder deficits provided you keep your proteins high. But ultimately like mentioned above. resistance training and cardio helps me personally find balance. Everything counts in small ammounts though.

    I got a the 5lb jug of the stuff off Amazon for like $18. I use the Hydrapeak 32oz like many here, 3d printed the vial holders for it, to include the dessiceant tray. Place the vial in the holders, stack in flask, fill the top most tray with the orange bead desiccant, close it up and place in freezer! Regardless of your storage method, if you place in a sealed container in a freezer it's highly recommended you allow it to get to room temp before opening. Condensation may effect the vials if they don't acclimate first.

    @Stan-Douglas It's my understanding that in order for a pharmaceutical company to get a patent it cannot be totally natural to the human body. Therefore they must change one molecule. Hence side effects. Based on that these are "peptide like"drugs. So I would conclude they're not truly a peptide. If anybody knows otherwise I would love to hear the explanation why these could be called true peptides.

    To anyone that has used GHRP-6 - what are your experiences with GHRP-6? What side effects did you have? How well did it work? Anything else helps aswell.

    I found DSIP to be a complete waste of money regardless of dosing or protocol. Threw the rest in the trash. All hype and BS. Tried it multiple times. Insider word to the wise- Try Gastrodin 98% extract for some interesting researching in regards to relaxation and sleep. It's on Amazon and ships from China. Love the stuff. Also, I've explored high-dose melatonin, up to 100mg. quite interesting as an antioxidant. Happy researching.

    Researchers suggest to use it 5-10 minutes before other peptides (like Ipamorelin, Humanin or MOTS-C) to increase their effectiveness. VIP half-life in blood is very short (1-2 minutes), but it dilates the vessels and improves the absorption of other compounds.

    Vesugen is a small tri-peptide (Lys-Glu-Asp) and is thought to be absorbed by GI tract's LAT and PEPT transporters. There are studies showing its oral availability.

    These numbers are incredibly low. I talked to one clinic with a large online presence and they were $1,360/month just for Glow. Tirz was another $1,000. By the time you add in TRT/HRT and other stuff, you are going to be at least $5,000/month. My entire annual program costs less than that.

    For me I don’t have one single source for protocol and dosing info. Ive used google, AI and youtube. I’ve pretty much always started with the lowest recommended dose of any pep and titrated up.

    The instructions say each pen has 3ml of solution. That means 40mg mixed with 3ml liquid. Using Randy's handy dandy reconstitution calculator at https://peptidecritic.com/tools/peptide-calculator, you get the following. For each 1mg dose, you would turn the dial on your pen 5 units.
