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

So...

they would get more testosterone produced when they got ACG with thymulin versus ACG alone.

The other ones do different effects on the pituitary axis.

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

And it makes sense because if you're not robust when it comes to immune status, because you can think of your thymulin as high in youth, low in age.

You have no business investing in reproduction.

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

You have no business in creating a lot of corticosteroids because that gives you that, you know, youthful energy in the morning.

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

But if you're making a lot of corticosteroids, you're shrinking your thymus.

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

So it creates kind of a feedback loop, negative feedback loop to prevent you from overrunning your system.

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

A lot of young guys will be like, oh, my immune system sucks and my testosterone is low.

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

I'm like...

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

Is there a thymus link there, is the question.

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

So sufficient zinc status is necessary to make thymulin.

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

The first sign of zinc depletion before RBC zinc or serum zinc decrease is your thymulin levels tank.

GHKCU is a tripeptide with a copper ion in the middle.

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

It's glycine, histidine, and lysine.

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

It's actually found in type 1 collagen fibers.

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

So... Tell me where type 1 collagen fibers are.

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

All over your skin, hair, and connective tissue.

Just like Vladimir Kabat-Zinn discovers these 40 different peptides, liver peptides, brain peptides, penile peptides, whatever it may be, there's an American researcher, Lauren Pickhart.
