I have hole in my heart that produced a blood clot & essentially a stroke last week. Everything was fine but my upper left peripheral vision is screwed. Funny enough, I have bpc157 in my fridge that i ordered before the stroke. I'm familiar w/ the bpc157 study on stroke induced rats that showed remarkable brain recovery. I'm still a bit timid to take it because I don't want to make things worse or have some drug interaction as dr's put me on eliquis & a beta-blocker until I get my heart repaired.

@@skmg2888 Thanks for asking. I never ran the TB500 but I did run the 157 for a while. I also stopped benching and trained my chest with another means. I am about 80% better. I'll take that. It rarely bothers me now. I need to stay away form most side lateral movements and bench presses except on rare occasion, and I'm golden. I also used a lot of red light therapy which I still use. I think that played a big part as well.

[@elitefitness341]

@@nuclearkamikaze Yes, I reconstituted and injected it using bacteriostatic water. I thought about adding it in as an oral as well, seeing as how it is one peptide that you can, but I found that not to be cost effective. I also chose the sub q route for injection site in the effected deltoid. Even though it is considered a "smart peptide" and is said to find it's way to the area that needs increased blood flow for healing, I went as close as possible. If I had a knee issue, I would have gone close to the knee. It just makes sense to me.

It's great to see that more doctors are using peptides more and getting the message out that they can help. I think it's a little much for us to start adding these terms to them, especially because the word peptide does not just apply to the medical peptides we use. A peptide is just a sequence of amino acids, and is ubiquitous throughout biology and physiology. I've been studying peptides for 9 years now, back when you had to find obscure forums to even learn about them because no doctors were even using them that long ago.

[@jdt8983]

Thanks for making this public. My life is trial and error with health issues. When I was a kid I took shots of HGH due to pituitary issues. Around age 13 I had extreme anxiety and depression and insomnia. Basically had that ever since (nearly 40 now) and have tried various antidepressants, TMS, Ketamine..everything. Then I stumbled on Selank and it worked better than anything I've tried. Not sure why the doctors didn't go for more pituitary focused methods but what one country approves of another sees as useless I guess. Only thing I'm trying to figure out is the physicality with Selank. Can't find much information on it. SSRIs definitely slowed me down for certain workouts (martial arts for instance) and I can't tell if Selank is doing something similar or if it's actually helping coordination/power output. I also have hypermobile joints (last SSRI helped me tear my right shoulder) so might look into the BPC for that. Doing experiments

[@DrewTimmermansND]

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. It may be worth researching and exploring cervical instability especially if you are hypermobile, as this can cause a whole host of central neurological issues. No idea if that's your case, but might be worth exploring.

This is a wonderful helpful video where the doctor is talking in very understandable way even to laypeople.

I hope these get covered by insurance.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

Can't speak to what exactly makes up the cost from the compounding pharmacy as I don't own one of those! But in general, peptide raw product is expensive, and there is a lot of sterility testing that goes into the peptides. Not sure where you're getting that pricing from, as the pharmacies we use are on average $200-300 for 1-2 month supply (30-60 doses) depending on which peptide and which pharmacy

Hi Doc, Excellent lecture! I know, and I studied quite a lot about peptides, hormone optimization, PEDs, and overall fitness pharmacology. I've also been experimenting with most of those myself for longevity and anti-aging purposes. Furthermore, I'm self-taught. Could you please recommend me a career path that I could undertake with all this knowledge at my disposal? I truly know a lot, and most endocrinologists I confront myself with are always impressed however I'm not interested in a degree as MD, so I lately considered a B.Sc. (Hons) in Health Sciences. However, I'm not quite sure if it does even exist a Master's Degree in Peptides or in Hormone Optimization that I could undertake afterward with such a degree. Moreover, I study these for fun and because I'm actually very good at it, but this is not my main work field. I do also know quite a lot about nutrition, and training, but that's not a career I'd like to pursue. Please, any advice would be very much appreciated from an expert in this sector.

[@DrewTimmermansND]

great question man. Currently, there aren't any formal university/college degrees in peptides. Have you considered looking into becoming a naturopathic doctor (the type of doctor I am)?

[@Gasp7000]

@I know a…. You might consider getting to know the studies about the eight essential glyconutrients that make our stem cells. There is no endo system without them, and you won’t get the true story from med school. They run the show from the bottom up pretty much. Without these eight saccharides at the very minimum, there is no making, repairing, regenerating or messaging of other parts of our biology physically. So there are many devotees going into the study of glyconutrition. In conventional medicine, immunologists are informed about them, but for lucrative business’s sake, they are taught to keep it mum that you get get your own stem cell treatments from your own kitchen. Beware of the wiles of the conventional thinking ones-the ones who will ONLY think the way they were orogrammed in med school where 70% of their med school curriculum is actually written by drug company employees who aren’t even doctors (that is actually a true fact). I’d save that for if you ever need a busted leg set. For “all things immunity and degenerative”, look to glyconutrition. Only ONE food group can make stem cells. Carbohydrates. Why do you think there is so much propaganda against them by the conventional medicine set? If we are missing even one essential glyconutrient, we are in trouble, and a lot of us are in trouble. When we add it back into the diet, we now have all eight glycos in order to make the stem cells we need and also in order for cell to cell communication that would be flawed if even one missing. MIT calls glyconutrients “the missing food group”. There are books about this, like “Sugars that Heal”, and “Glyconutrients”, and “Miracle Sugars”. I have used these for many years, but don’t expect to get answers from your conventional doctors about them-it was mostly kept from them during med school, other wise, they wouldn’t serve the drug companies. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. There are powers that be who would attempt to stop you from learning about this. God bless you in your journey. (Copy’d b4 pst)

Be careful telling people that the only way something will work is what worked for you, because that's not true for everyone.

No my thinking has evolved since then. I still believe for some people it may be important to get protein/calories in asap after exercise because it allows for more calories or protein to be consumed within a 24 hour window though.

Hello, this was a very helpful video and very thorough regarding peptides. I myself had an accident in gymnastics and I tore all of my ligaments in my left knee. I also tore my biceps muscle and have a small indent in my bone..so yea it was a pretty bad injury and being an athlete I searched for all the Best practices and medicines regarding post-op regeneration and rehabilitation and then I stumbeled on peptides.

Hello Dr. Timmermans, I contacted you on here although I don't see it here to ask of you knew someone in Vancouver to give me shots of Thymosin B4 and you replied nobody. So I was wondering how much I need for torn cartilage and for how long. After listening it sounds like I would do the 750mcg,(.25ml) daily for 20 days. Can I get a nurse to inject this? And does it go into the fatty soft tissue? between the bone? How much would I need for 20 days?

Sorry I don't know anyone in that area that can give you shots. On average we use 750mcg for 20 days in a cycle. Most patients get the product and then inject it at home into the subQ tissue

[@randybignell4570]

Where would you recommend buying these products?

[@DrewTimmermansND]

If you are working with a physician and can get injectable BPC-157 from a compounding pharmacy, then that's great. If you aren't, then we don't recommend the injectable version as this would require you to purchase BPC-157 from a research chemical website and these peptides are commonly contaminated with LPS, a bacterial endotoxin, which can cause really bad side effects. Instead of using injectable, we then recommend using an oral arginate salt. We use the BPC-157 capsules from InfiniWell as they use the arginate salt. If you want a discount code, we have one for our patients on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements. Once on that website, click the InfiniWell link, and then choose the product labeled 'BPC-157 Original 250mcg'. This is the version that does not have SNAC, which we find works better. All of the other ones are only available through a doctors Rx (if you want to get safe non-contaminated versions)

We find BPC-157 helps about 70% of people when you lump all ortho conditions together. So I'd give it 70% chance. Make sure you use a good form though. We use the BPC-157 capsules from InfiniWell as they use the arginate salt. To help out, we have a 20% patient discount code on our website regenerativeperformance.com/supplements (code is RP20). Once on that website, click the InfiniWell link, and then choose the product labeled 'BPC-157'. When you hover over the product, you will see it says 'Original Formula' above the ingredient box).

Hey Drew, Appreciate the content. Have been researching various peptides over the past 8 months with an interest in healing and recovery. I enjoy reading the studies and breaking down the data. As this is still very underground in comparison to conventional or western medicine there are many nuances. I believe hormonal and or naturopathic clinics will certainly be the go to in terms of guidance and transparency as they have clinical tools and knowledge as well as access to compounding pharmacies. In the description you've provided a link to DNA health and I was wondering if you knew where they sourced their peptides from, maybe a specific compounding pharmacy? Best, Drew

Hey Drew, DNA Health is a supplement company therefore they don't purchase raw materials from compounding pharmacies. They own the patent for BPC-157 arginate salt. I don't know who actually produces that.

Hey! The 250-500mcg/d dose for BPC 157(vitalbpc157) is based on limited human data and rodent studies. Higher doses or longer use could have unknown risks since it's not well-researched in humans yet. Better to stay cautious and wait for more research to ensure safety.

@@troy3423well if you can’t afford and need healing you may not be able to wait. But generally they block research if it will help people. The places that fund the research won’t fund it if it isn’t a money maker and I think peptides you can’t really patent. There are risks with everything but verbally many have taken this without issue so at some level that is a test even if there are less controls in place. But if you’re waiting for the major groups that do research to research a thing they can’t patent and profit off of I doubt that will happen anytime soon. There are risks with anything you take. So you research and try to assess that and decide if the risks are acceptable. But for those in pain if they see many benefit form a thing and have no assurance research will be done this century it’s maybe not enough to tell them to just wait and hope as their body degenerates.

No you wouldn't benefit from that. Too many people online who have never used BPC in more than themselves or a few people have opinions that are incorrect.
