Peptides in the public conversation

I had tendonitis in my elbow that I could not fix. I started using BPC-157 and it was gone in two weeks.

After Gary Brecka's regimen: lost 44 lbs, came off all prescription meds and CPAP; homocysteine 21.5→11.7, triglycerides 764→143.

Peptides aren't magic — but they can accelerate healing, performance & longevity. BPC-157 heals joints & gut lining; TB-500 reduces inflammation; CJC-1295/Ipamorelin boosts growth hormone naturally.

There are many animal studies showing efficacy but essentially no clinical trials and few human studies. The 'anecdata' circulating are enticing BUT there are real risks.

Peptides are a legitimate, powerful class of therapeutics, but the legitimacy is confined to a relatively narrow subset of them. The space is still the Wild West.

Received follistatin gene therapy abroad; reports follistatin +160% (2 weeks post) and muscle mass +7%. Sells a multi-peptide topical serum via Blueprint.

On weekly peptide shots: "I do think that's the future."

Has called peptide shots "one of my biggest wellness tools."

On The Kardashians: "I'm gonna NAD for the rest of my life and I'm never going to age."

"[The UFC] provided me with some great peptides… I've been taking it every day and feeling a difference." (UFC's Jeff Novitzky said he 'misspoke' — UFC says it doesn't supply banned peptides.)

On the Joe Rogan Experience, said he expected the FDA to reclassify 'about 14' injectable peptides within 'a couple of weeks' to give consumers access from 'ethical suppliers.'

Showcased an NAD+ drip-therapy session (with Hailey Bieber) on an episode of The Kardashians.

Reported to take collagen peptides daily for joint/tissue support. Note: collagen peptides are a food supplement — a different category from research peptides like BPC-157.

The recent peptide craze is funny. To me, these are old news… I literally coined the term 'Wolverine stack' (BPC-157 and TB-500).

There's about 500 or so that we commonly use in the world of biohacking… But they are the last thing that you do if you want to get healthy.

I take one gram of NMN every morning along with my resveratrol… in humans we know that doubles NAD levels.

On injecting BPC-157 for a shoulder injury: described pain relief and recovery 'the next day' rather than weeks of rehab.

HGH is nothing… Everyone over 40 would be wise to investigate it… Mark my words, in 10 years it will be over-the-counter.

Reported to take NMN daily (influenced by David Sinclair's research) and to use NAD+ IV therapy.

His branded supplement line features collagen peptides and NMN — nutritional longevity ingredients, rather than research peptides.
