    @Randy hey Jeff, i do alot of BW, once a month.

    The typical stuff when checking test, Hemocratic, ferritin, IGF

    Whats the best option to choose in your vendor.

    Thanks

    @diegoc i just pick and choose what my veterinarian tells me to depending on what im researching. I wont pretend to be some expert on reading bloodwork or panels. There are much better experts on the subject.

      Tbh, I am suffering analysis paralysis choosing between vendors. I reckon I will pick one, but I like that function supposedly tells you what it means and can refer you.

      Sadly, the two YouTube personalities I’ve reached out to who have related businesses in this space are much better at making videos than running a business.

      Please set a funny and sarcastic signature line. It brings me joy. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

        @ResearchCat hey buddy, listen that is common in us men, but just do it.

        However document your goals.

        Do your research on Frequency and Dosing

        As for the vendors, man there are alot of good ones that are pretty trust worthy.

        Mile High are good and add the peptide critic discount

          @randy @researchcat @diegoc I've stacked Epi & Pinealon for 20 days previously as a suggestion but didn't really know much about it. A few months prior I researched a 30 day cycle of Pinealon. Pinealon was fantastic for improved sleep, energy, mood, etc.

          I've seen suggestions only to research Epi or Pinealon maybe 2-3 times a year. I know they can be used together, but what if you wanted to research and get a benefit from them separately? If someone has any information or can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated. My rat has central sleep apnea and gets less than 3 hrs of real sleep each night, even with being 33, 6ft, 180 lbs, active & healthy.

          Ps. I've researched DSIP and the only thing it really did was more intense dreams.

            My epitalon research was specifically focused on longevity, so I can’t speak to sleep changes except to say that I have not noticed changes due to this or any other peptide research. My sleep is generally better, but I have also stopped drinking alcohol (mostly) and am going to bed earlier and cutting off digital garbage beforehand, making it hard to attribute.

            Most of the longevity focused research in humans indicates running a 10-20 day cycle once or twice a year, not constant maintenance. Sorry I can’t be much help for your interest.

            Edit: If I am being honest, quitting a p2w mobile game and associated reduced stress is probably the biggest contributor to my increased sleep quality. (It also frees up lots of money for research. 😉 )

              ...have you tried pinealon?

              I discovered that one a few years back. Prior to that i needed a handful of melatonin gummies or Ambien to sleep. I haven't needed it since.

                @randy hey Jeff, I saw the latest video on mixing Epitalon in several vials and you mentioned that Randy does Thymalin after the Epitalon protocol.

                Do you have any info on that.

                Thanks

                  @researchcat I can report that 2mg per day has been dramatically noticeable for me (in a very positive way) in terms of improved sleep. That said the only downside I've ever heard anyone report about the higher dosages is that it made them a little drowsy during the following day.

                  I plan on staring low like this also. At least for the first week and see where it goes.

                    For sure, even 100 mcg (yes, 0.1 mg) does affect me well. My Garmin watch shows the lowest stress during sleep I've seen in my life, and HRV goes up 30%.

                      @afkar7 One thing to remember though... when they say "take no more than 30 minutes before bed"... at least for me they meant it. I know I sometimes inject 'evening' peptides and then get distracted for a couple of hours before bed... for this one, really do make sure to just inject it and go straight to bed, go directly to bed, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

                          For research use only. Not medical advice.

                          Overview

                          Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide studied for its potential effects on telomerase activation, cellular longevity, circadian rhythm normalization, and antioxidant regulation.
                          Research use typically involves short, intensive cycles rather than continuous long-term dosing.

                          Daily Dosing Protocol (Subcutaneous)

                          Standard Daily Range

                          10-20 mg once daily

                          The 10 mg daily dose is the most commonly cited range in aging and telomere-focused research.

                          Cycle Length Options

                          1. Standard Cycle (Most Common)

                          10 days

                          Daily dose: 10–20 mg

                          Researchers commonly run Epitalon as a short burst cycle, then take an extended break.

                          1. Extended Cycle (Alternative Model)

                          20 consecutive days

                          Daily dose: 10–20 mg

                          Used in some longevity-focused research models aiming for prolonged telomerase expression and circadian modulation.

                          Timing

                          Once daily, any time of day

                          Some researchers prefer evening dosing given its historical use for circadian rhythm correction, but timing is flexible.

                          Frequency & Cycling Pattern

                          Typical long-term patterns:

                          Annual or Semiannual Cycles

                          10–20 days on,

                          Several months off

                          In aging-related research, Epitalon is rarely used continuously — it is almost always delivered in short, high-intensity cycles, sometimes 1–4 times per year depending on the model.

                          Common Research Notes

                          Effects are subtle and accumulate gradually — often evaluated by sleep quality, recovery, or long-term biomarkers.

                          Some subjects report improvements in sleep consistency, recovery, and perceived vitality.

                          Because cycles are short, tolerability is usually excellent.

                          Epitalon is often paired with circadian-focused interventions or other mitochondrial peptides for synergistic longevity research.

                          @Randy Since Epithalon Dalton weight is under 400, can it be researched through nasal spray?
