They are well aware of this and who have assured me they're going to look at this, that this is serious, you know, because they've been using peptides. And they're concerned that, oh my goodness, the FDA came in and changed the game. It's been a huge setback. for all of us?

And a good starting dose, so to make it really clear for people and helpful, 250 micrograms to 500 micrograms. We're using 500 micrograms injected daily. Daily, again, we like Monday through Friday, take the weekends off. That's a good dosing schedule. We'll see how that goes. We probably can use larger dosages. That's conservative. But that's a good starting point for people.

Yeah, and we were using BPC intravenously as well. Patients would come in and, oh, tweak my knee, tore my ACL, tore my meniscus, whatever. You can give them BPC essentially as a bolus intravenously. my goodness, that made a difference. Now that using something intravenously from the pharmacokinetic standpoint, it's not going to last in the system very much. It's more of a spark.

Whereas if you use an agent subcutaneously, you're going to get more of a long lasting, you know, again, not terribly long lasting with peptides, but longer than using something intravenously. Kind of the sweet spot was certainly using both. You could use something as a spark to initiate that anti-inflammatory cascade, then follow up with a subcutaneous dose.

Yeah. You know, testosterone is a great example because, like we were saying, I don't ever want to manipulate hormones. You know, growth hormone is another example. I don't ever want to manipulate that, meaning, you know, providing it to people more than they would get in nature.

This is why I actually don't, a little bit off topic, like when people use testosterone pellets or any sort of pellet therapy because you're exposing people to a concentration of hormones we would never, ever see in nature. I would prefer people inject it where you're going to get some variation in dose on a day to day basis, which we're humans.

So we do get some day to day variation or topically or under the tongue or something. Peptide, same thing. I don't want to manipulate the hormones, right? I want to just stick within kind of the highways of the lane, swim lanes for how they should operate and then take advantage of that.
