And if you're smart, you'll eat a lot more protein.
you know and the building of muscle is not necessarily complicated right it's resistance training sufficient protein which is where i think most people fall off and then having some anabolic kind of hormone in the background like growth hormone or testosterone or both helps that process that's where ghrp6 can shine i mean within weeks people will get big and strong increase their bench press whatever stuff flat out works but
But you got to know how to use it and understand the flavor. So the point I'm making is these different peptides have different flavors. And to your point, there's individual responses. That can be a good thing.
I agree.
Yeah. Two other main ones that we use, one would be tesamorelin. which is similar to semirelin in that it also is going to work on the growth hormone-releasing hormone aspect, a little bit higher up in the chain of how these hormones are released. So both semirelin and tesemirelin You don't necessarily need to add anything else to it.
Classically with ipramarone, hexarone, GHRP6, we would add this other compound, CJC1295, which is going to work on the GHRH, which allows the peptide and then the growth hormone to stay in your system a little bit longer.
That's on the same list as BPC.
That's right.
Similar in that regard. Testamerelin, again, talking about flavors, testamerelin works on visceral fat reduction, so fat around the organs. And it's been FDA approved for that purpose. Yeah, with HIV patients having this lipodystrophy, which is abnormal accumulation of fat, in particular visceral fat around organs. So testamerelin works well for that.
My observation from using it for lots and lots of people, it seems to work better in females than males.
Yeah, so I think any of the growth hormone-releasing peptides, anytime you're going to make growth hormone more active in your world, that's how I think about it, better sleep, better skin tone, texture, right? You're more resilient. I think growth hormone is a resiliency hormone, durability. You know, people find that, oh, I do a hard workout, but it takes me days to recover.
I sprain my ankle, it takes me a week to recover. I cut my skin, it takes me forever to heal. They've got a durability issue. And that's how I think about where growth hormone can shine Not that you've got to go all the way to growth hormone, but these peptides can be a really nice push.
And then kind of the magic in what we do is, you know, when we first started about eight years ago, we'd use one peptide at a time. And then what we learned is let's combine these peptides. Let's stack peptides. And that's how we do it. At lower dosages? Sometimes lower dosages. But, for example, we had a great combination, BPC, ipramarone, and tesamarone all together taken at bedtime.
And you're going to get subcutaneous fat reduction from the ipramarone, visceral fat reduction from the tesamarone, upregulation of the growth hormone receptor from the BPC. It was a wonderful peptide. We kind of labeled it as a fat loss peptide, but people would put on lean muscle mass. They'd sleep better. Their skin would be better. They'd be more durable. Their thought process would be better.
Awesome stuff. And that's where I think that's where we enjoy it is stacking these peptides together. So it's not, again, just one peptide at a time, but able to do it. And that's why, again, working with a compounding pharmacy, we can put these together. So you're only doing one shot a day. You may be doing three to seven peptides, but it's still one shot.
Yes, five days on, two days off, I came up with because of how we would dose growth hormone. So the traditional growth hormone dosing cycle would be five days on, two days off, taken at bedtime. Yeah. And that's where it came up. And then I personally, with patients and myself, I like to take breaks. So even with supplements, I won't take them on the weekends. Yeah.
Because I think, again, anything you expose yourself to on a regular basis is going to decrease the potency. We see that with exercise. We see that with food. If you're eating the same food every day, it seems to become less valuable for you. Change it up. We have to throw on the crazy switch every now and then. But change it up. And so then you're going to make it more potent for you.
I do the same thing with supplements. So that just resonates with me, with people, to take a break from stuff.
But what is the rationale of taking CoQ10? So if I can break it down, try to keep it simple. People are familiar with the mitochondria. It's the battery of the cell, these little organelles inside each cell. And they're responsible for doing many things, but primarily making ATP, chemical energy. And so how do we make energy? Well, there's three main ways the body uses it or makes it.
First is glycolysis. We take glucose, which is a six-carbon molecule. We break it in half to make two pyruvates. When we do that, we make a little bit of ATP. That pyruvate then is converted to something called acetyl-CoA. We run that through the Krebs cycle. where we're also making ATP, but then we're making these intermediate products.
