Peptide & Hormone Therapies for Health, Performance & Longevity | Dr. Craig Koniver

And I think that happens when people are pushing it and giving more than they should. And I've heard of that. And they're giving 200, 300, 400 micrograms at a time, which is a big dose. Now what they're getting is the client, the patient is like, oh my gosh, I feel this amazing flushing. It must be working.

I agree with that. I agree with that. And that's why I think it's, again, helpful to work with a physician who has experience who can kind of, you know, I think of these peptides as having flavors, particularly the growth hormone-releasing peptides. Ipramerone, very clean.

You know, as long as you stay within 100 micrograms or less, people are going to lean out a little bit, sleep a little bit better. There's no real side effects. They take it pre-sleep. Pre-sleep at bedtime. Without carbohydrates ingested in the previous two hours, correct? Yeah, or 45 minutes technically. Yeah, but that's right.

And then they're saying like growth hormone release in peptide six, GHRP6, which is also going to bind. So I think of ipramarone being the most specific for the growth hormone receptor, but the weakest. So when you inject it, you will get growth hormone to come out and only growth hormone, but it's not going to be a big burst of growth hormone. You inject GHRP6, now you may bind some prolactin.

Now you may bind some ACTH, which is going to have your adrenals put out cortisol. Now you're going to get a hunger response, right? And maybe even have trouble sleeping if you're getting them. You may have trouble sleeping. But where that's beneficial for is if you're looking to put on mass or get strong, GHRP6 is your go-to, right? Because you will increase your appetite.
