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.

The year is 2020.
Armed with a tech fortune of $500M and an obsession with longevity, Johnson launches "Project Blueprint" - a radical experiment to reverse his biological age.
The price tag? A cool $2 million per year.
Johnson's daily Blueprint routine reads like a sci-fi novel:
• 1,977 calories of precisely measured vegan food
• 60+ supplements
• Red light therapy
• Ultrasounds, MRIs, colonoscopies galore
He even measures the erections he gets while sleeping.
