Episode notes
Peptide Half-Life vs. Effect Duration
- Peptides clear the bloodstream quickly, within minutes or hours, depending on size.
- However, their effects can last much longer, as they bind to target cells or DNA.
Defining Peptides
- Peptides are molecules made of 2 to 50 (or more) amino acids.
- Longer chains with branches are considered small proteins, not peptides.
BPC and Oxycodone Interaction
- A client using BPC for pain found that oxycodone became ineffective when taken alongside BPC.
- Tremblay suggests BPC may have a higher receptor affinity than oxycodone.
