Episode notes

Peptides like BPC157 and Thymosin beta-4 (TB 500) are gaining attention for tissue rejuvenation and repair. Thymosin beta-4 is a peptide that the body naturally produces in children, aiding in faster recovery from injuries and tissue regrowth. Thymosin beta-4 promotes the growth of various cell types, stem cell proliferation, and the extracellular matrix for tissue stability. While animal studies show positive effects on wound healing and repair, the efficacy in humans is still unclear without clinical trials. Despite this, many individuals are using TB 500, especially in combination with BPC157, for tissue rejuvenation. Thymosin beta-4 is not growth-promoting but focuses on tissue repair. These peptides play major roles in promoting angiogenesis, new vasculature addition, and enhancement of tissue healing and repair.

In this episode, I explain the major categories and types of peptides currently in use for therapeutic purposes. I discuss peptides for improving tissue rejuvenation and repair, promoting longevity, improving muscle growth and fat loss, and boosting mood, vitality, and libido. I explain the biology of how these peptides work and both their potential benefits and risks. I also discuss peptide sourcing, dosages, cycling, routes of administration, and how peptides work in combination.

This episode will help you better understand the rapidly expanding landscape of peptide therapeutics and how to evaluate if specific peptides might be advantageous towards achieving your physical or mental health goals.
