Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

And is a, you know, Pinelon is a supplement you can find in Kazakhstan and Russia and Ukraine, wherever, all these different countries, over the counter in different pharmacies.

In a capsule.

Dosages, excuse me, that people are injecting versus taking orally.

So when it comes to the bioregulators, epithelon, pinelion, the Cabinton literature looks at like microgram dosages from 10 to 100 micrograms of the actual raw peptides.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Of the peptide mixes, we're talking about 10 milligrams.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

So 10 milligrams of, you know, desiccated cow brain, that might give you a few hundred micrograms of pinelion.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Oh man, desiccated cow brain makes me think of Crutzeril-Jakob, aka mad cow prion.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

That was the first patient I had on wards in third year of medical school.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Had degenerative brain from Creutzfeldt-Jakob.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Yeah, it was a bad case on neurology wards.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

By the way, I think this set back all that research in the, when the, you know, the prion stuff happened in the early 2000s, that set back a lot of these animal derived peptide research dramatically because people are like, oh, we don't want to touch these extracts anymore.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Makes sense.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Because there was thymus extracts.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

There were like, there was about, you know,

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

10 different groups in Eastern Europe that came up with their own thymus peptide drug, which was a polypeptide fragment with, you know, thymus alpha-1, thymus beta-4, vylon, thymogen, like all these different peptides that you'd get together.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The Eastern Europeans went down like this mix of just mixing up young thymuses because you don't want an old thymus in a cow.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

You want a six-month-old cow that has the giant, juicy, big thymus with all the healthy hormones in there.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

They'd grind that up and inject that into humans with positive effects, like, you know, hundreds of papers on that.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

The American side, the Goldstein group, came up with thymusin fraction 5, which has thymusin alpha-1 and thymusin beta-4 in it.

Huberman Lab
Peptides: The Science, Uses & Safety | Dr. Abud Bakri

Also thymusin beta-10, thymusin beta-9, a bunch of different thymusins.
