So do we just sit around and go, well, that's it.
That's
No, because we're living a long time.
We want to live a long time healthier.
So you're going to replace those.
Well, what if I tell you that, you know, your BPC levels dropped considerably as well, or what we call the thymic peptides, thymus and alpha one and thymus and beta four are huge when we're young.
Those are our immune modulating peptides.
Those are the peptides that keep our immune system healthy.
So when you're young and you have this giant thymus gland that's producing all these thymic peptides, you can fight off disease much more easily than you can when you're old.
And that's why, you know, still one of the number one causes of death in older people is viral infections is because you don't really have the immune capacity.
So if I can give you back thymus at alpha one, thymus in beta four, can I give you back that immune capacity so you heal better?
And if it's available, should we not be doing that?
Because that's, you know, it's declined as we age.
Should we not be replacing it?
So I'm kind of of a bias that these should be following suit as we should be getting a lot more awareness of them, legitimate use of them, people who understand them and treat appropriately.
So, you know, I do a lot of educated physicians around peptides.
I think that's the key is we have to get more physicians educated.
The physicians are learning the same way their clients are, which is sort of online learning.
teachings about it, right?
And so we need to get physicians much more understanding the science, the biochemical pathways behind this, how to use it in the right way appropriately.
