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

But those are more on the hormonal side.

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

I think the hormonal level is way stronger than a peptide level like BPC or any of those.

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

And as far as I'm concerned, there's no case reports or studies that would suggest that.

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

positive or negative?

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

Yeah, there were studies in Russia on TBIs when it comes to cortexin and cerebrolysin, which would probably never be available in the United States.

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

So we'll skip those.

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

There's no good data on BPC TBIs.

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

They theoretically could be useful from an anti-stress perspective.

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

That'd be interesting to explore that.

neurological effects are very homeostatic in nature.

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

They don't let you get too high in the mice data at least.

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

The mice can't get too drunk and they can't withdraw from alcohol.

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

They can't get too high on the mice methamphetamines and they can't get too high on the methamphetamines and they don't withdraw either.

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

So there's a homeostatic mechanism that might explain some of these anhedonia side effects that people are reporting where BPC modulates the gut brain access in a way, which we do not understand, it's kind of woo woo, that makes it so that your brain can't go too far in one direction.

Maybe in putting, if we think of a just so story, it's putting you into a rest and digest state to heal whatever problem you have.

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

If that's why BPC exists as a big parent compound, that might be part of the fact that if you scrape BPC, your body goes into like a convalescent mode because it will take away stimulants.

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

It will take away sedatives.

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

Don't try this, of course, but there seems to be a homeostatic mechanism in BPC that needs to be explored further with good data.

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

It's the most difficult question to answer because the majority of people are getting their peptides from research-only websites.

Unfortunately, those are not reliable.
