The FDA doesn't want you to know about these compounds.
Huberman's newest guest just unveiled the truth about the peptide revolution.
The uncensored guide to peptides for superhuman biohacking:
1. BPC-157 is generating buzz for good reason.
It shows potential for reducing inflammation and accelerating tendon and ligament healing.
Whether injected or taken orally, it seems to pack a punch even from localized application.
2. Ipamorelin and tesamorelin might be your new go-to for better sleep and faster recovery.
These compounds can:
• Boost natural growth hormone production
• Potentially improve sleep quality
• Accelerate exercise recovery
Pro tip: take them before bed for maximum effect.
3. GLP-1 Agonists like Ozempic and other compounds are weight loss darlings, but you have to be cautious.
You risk muscle loss, so experts recommend combining them with resistance training and keeping protein intake high.
Start w/ microdoses to minimize side effects.
4. Recent changes in FDA regulations have shaken up the peptide landscape.
Some options through compounding pharmacies are vanishing, so it's worth researching alternatives or FDA-approved options that might offer similar benefits.
Gotta stay informed.
5. Combining peptides might supercharge your results.
For instance, pairing BPC-157 with growth hormone secretagogues could be a recovery dream team.
Always get your doctor's green light before mixing, though.
6. Peptides vs. Direct Hormone Manipulation
Understand the nuance here.
Peptides often nudge natural hormone production, potentially offering a more balanced approach with fewer side effects than direct hormone replacement.
7. Thymosin Alpha-1 peptide shows promise for immune modulation but has been banned for compounding.
It might help with both overactive and underactive immune systems.
Keep an eye out for potential alternatives or future availability.
8. PT-141: FDA-Approved for Libido Enhancement
PT-141 works for both men and women, but there's potential side effects like nausea and skin changes.
Could be a bedroom game-changer lol.
9. While not a peptide, methylene blue is often used alongside them for cognitive enhancement and mitochondrial support.
Start with low doses (around 10mg).
Also don't freak out if your pee turns blue-green.
Of course, none of this is medical advice.
A knowledgeable physician is your best ally in the peptide game.
They'll:
• Align peptide choices with your health goals
• Ensure safe usage
• Steer you clear of sketchy sources
Start low and go slow, safety first, etc etc.
