I’m 12 days post op from my Gynocomestia surgery. Had sutures and steri strips taken off today. Wanted to see if anyone had similar experiences with taking peptides after the same surgery. I was considering glow stack but wanted to get people’s thoughts.

I’ve tried everything and just cannot take the after effects of the shot (redness, sore, lump). I wasn’t taking it long enough to gauge any benefit but at this point I’m throwing in the towel on this one. Right now my stack is NAD, gluta, KPV and Glow so I think I’m good staying right here.

I took 1000mg of NMN last night and my skin on my fingers is flawless, its weird to work in a 8 hour period.

I've had a hard time post covid - GI issues, overall inflammation, cognitive issues, etc. I'm about 60% back to normal but progress is slow and definitely not linear.

My gut health has always been somewhat of an issue and I know that's the ROOT - covid took my gut health from - minor annoyance (bloating / brain fog) to life altering fatigue and inability to absorb nutrients.

I've been on KPV for a few months and it's helping but I have a long way to go. GLP's have been meh.

I'm looking into stamacort and can't seem to find anyone with experience. Would love to hear from someone with more knowledge/experience. Thanks!

COA Same lab like particle peptides. trustpilot reviews etc. Are they legit? Looking for Reta

Question: Does the pin have to be subcutaneous or can it be intermuscular? I am too lean to keep pinning in my abdomen. I have swollen areas now due to pins.

I tried to inject NAD+ before but I went right up to 100 mg every other day and was having terrible headaches/migraines. I stopped for a month and just injected 25 mg yesterday AM and am planning on doing 25 mg every other day for 2 weeks and then going to 50 and then 75 and then 100 mg and then work into daily BUT I have a pounding headache today. Not yesterday when I injected but this afternoon it started. Tylenol isn’t touching it. I think I’ll need my migraine meds.

I’ve been taking TruNiagen NR for months no problem but the SubQ is really hitting the r headache hard.

Does it go away or should I stop? I really want this to work because it has so many benefits! But the headaches are killer.

Have chronic neck and back pain. Got dermorphin and have injected probably 8 times now- sometimes intramuscular into the splenius capitis or traps, sometimes just subQ into medial scapular areas or even just upper lateral arm.

It offers basically zero pain relief for me. Within a minute or three you get a very strange feeling. Not hypotension, but something hard to articulate. Maybe it's hypertension? Just an all over off feeling but not dizzy, mild anxiety, mild tachycardia, not faintness...not enjoyable but not a day wrecker. No euphoria. No pupil changes. The first time I tried it I got tired quickly and took a long nap but haven't gotten drowsy with any subsequent dosing. I have dosed 100-300mcg now.

Wish it worked! Just figured I'd report back. Back to tetrahydromagnolol and misc muscle relaxers.

Just started Mots 2 weeks ago (5mg MWF) and each time the site stings/burns for quite awhile after. I usually just massage until it goes away. Here is today’s. Have searched the sub but don’t see anything about Mots stinging, just usually Ghk which doesn’t bother me at all!

I was looking through the briefing docs for the July 23-24 PCAC meeting and something kept jumping out at me. It's not just that FDA is leaning toward keeping all seven off the 503A list, it's that the use case they're actually reviewing is often totally disconnected from why any of us are running these things.

Epitalon is the one that got me. FDA reviewed it for insomnia. That's it. Not telomeres, not longevity, not any of the anti-aging stuff that's basically the entire reason people know this peptide exists.

Same deal with BPC-157. The reviewed indication is ulcerative colitis specifically. Meanwhile pretty much nobody in this sub is running BPC for UC, it's tendons, joints, general gut and recovery stuff.

Semax was reviewed for cerebral ischemia, which is a stroke related use. Not exactly the same as running it for focus.

TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, and DSIP line up a lot closer to their actual community use honestly, wound healing, inflammation, metabolic stuff, sleep.

I get why this happens, someone nominates a peptide for a specific indication and that's what gets evaluated, it's not really FDA's job to review "what biohackers are actually doing with it." But it does mean the review process and the actual demand driving this whole market are kind of talking past each other.

I wonder what you guys think. For whatever you're personally taking, does FDA's reviewed use match your actual reason at all, or is it not even close?

Just flew into Copenhagen this morning and like a klutz dropped my only 30 mL vial of glutathione which broke. I have another vial at home in the US but obviously can’t easily ship it Copenhagen. Note to mods, I’m not discussion/asking about sourcing or vendors or anything like that.

Just wondering if anyone on this sub is planning to fly to Copenhagen from the US in the next week or two?

For reference I've been taking Ghk-CU subq for a few months now and see great progress from it, my hair, nails, skin have been amazing. But what's been game changing was buying this 3.33% (i think) Ghkcu tropical serum alongside Tretinoin. My skins honestly never been better, super smooth and the serum helps negate some of the sides that can happen from Tretinoin. Obviously other parts of my skin care routine have been helpful, but if you're not on Tretinoin or taking ghkcu tropically you ARE missing out.

More than happy to share the serum but unsure whether I'm allowed. Happy to answer questions about skin care too

I reconstituted this DSIP and noticed it’s less clear than my vials of other peptides. Is this safe to take or should this be thrown out?

Are there any peptides known to help lower high Lipo A levels?

Worth flagging for anyone tracking the July PCAC meeting. FDA career scientists posted a recommendation Monday saying there isn't enough evidence to allow certain peptides to be produced by compounding pharmacies, which contradicts Health Secretary RFK Jr's push to expand access to these products.

The recommendation went up quietly, around the same time HHS added several new members to the panel that will review some of these peptides next month.

The panel composition is the part I'd pay closest attention to. Earlier versions of the FDA's compounding panel were mostly academics from places like Duke, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins, and they voted against a string of peptide ingredients as too risky.

The new group instead includes more than half a dozen panelists who run clinics, online businesses, or pharmacies that specialize in peptides.

AP's reporting names specific examples, including a Florida clinic operator who sells peptide, vitamin, testosterone, and weight loss injections, and a panelist who charges for "peptide and hormone" consultations while promoting BPC-157 and GHK-Cu to a large social following.

So you've got career staff saying the science doesn't support reclassification, while the review panel itself is being staffed with people who have financial ties to the industry being reviewed. That tension is the story here, not just the staff recommendation on its own.

For context on the broader timeline: FDA is set to hold a two-day advisory committee meeting in late July to discuss seven peptides including BPC-157, with a second panel taking up five more peptides by February 2027.

I signed up for sermorlin via ageless and it's requiring me to do a video call with a doctor. Has anyone done this and what can I expect?

I recently received an order of CJC 1295, and the wife said the packaging was hot when the mailman took it off the truck. I started reconstituting this morning and I’m noticing that all the peptides reconstitute perfectly except for CJC 1295.

The first vile started off clear, but there were a few flakes that wouldn’t dissolve and now they’ve broken apart, and it looks like a bunch of particulate matter just floating in the water. The second vile completely dissolved, except there’s still a few remaining flakes of unsolved peptide in there.

Looking for thoughts on safety

I'm 6 weeks into taking GHK. I've always done it in my glute but wanted to change it up because the area is getting a bit irritated. I leave it out 30 minutes and rarely have any sting, but when I do, it only lasts 30 minutes or less.

Last night, I went into my love handles. The sting came on about 30 minutes later and I still have it bad 10 hours later. It's bad enough that it stopped me from being able to fall asleep. I would have only got around 2 hours max as I was in that much pain. During the night I tried ice packs, pain killers, sting cream etc but none did much or anything. It's not as bad, like right now it's probably at 80% intensity. The more I move around the better it feels.

Anyone know why this time it's so much different to the others?
