As you've been exploring peptides, which one made you stop and say, “Wait… what does this actually do?” Share the peptide that initially threw you off—whether it was the mechanism, the dosing, the vial math, or the protocol. For me, I found Epitalon to be the most confusing around 4 years ago. When Russian data came in that challenged our understanding of dosing quantity.

"I put my mom on 5mg daily for 5 days on, 2 days off because she was having hernia surgery. Anesthesia that can impair mitochondrial activity, and SS-31 can protect against this. She had incredible energy the day after surgery and a beautiful recovery (of course, BPC 157 was part of her pre and post surgery protocol, too!)" -reposted from @Meki Blackwell

Hiii friends! Happy to be here! I'm wanting to expand my knowledge on peptides and am specifically curious about ones that might be beneficial to someone going through nicotine withdrawals. Alot of people my age got hooked on vapes when they came out and are now struggling to quit... Does anyone have any experience with peptides for addiction?

I have some ss-31? 20mg - what is a good dosing amount to help with energy?

What is it? Vesugen is a Khavinson-style bioregulatory peptide composed of a simple three–amino acid sequence: Lys-Glu-Asp (KED). Here’s the key point. It exerts highly targeted regulatory effects on the vascular endothelium, the microcirculation, and neuronal tissue. And yes it’s good for erectile health. In classic bioregulator fashion, Vesugen appears to restore gene expression patterns in endothelial cells, normalize cellular turnover, and improve tissue resilience under stress conditions. Across animal and human data, Vesugen has been linked to benefits in: - Hypertension - Ischemic vascular conditions - Endothelial dysfunction - Microvascular insufficiency - Age-related cognitive decline  What Do People Feel? Subjectively, Vesugen tends to produce a very recognizable symptom profile. Users commonly report: - More stable energy due to improved microvascular perfusion - Warmth in hands and feet, consistent with enhanced peripheral circulation - Better mental clarity, likely from improved cerebral endothelial signaling - Reduced vascular tension or angina-type tightness - Greater overall vitality, especially in individuals with subtle endothelial impairment Mechanistically, these effects track well: Vesugen supports endothelial nitric oxide balance, reduces low-grade inflammation, stabilizes small vessels, and improves blood rheology. And yes—vascular health = erectile health. Many users notice that Vesugen offers a meaningful boost in erectile function by improving endothelium-driven hemodynamics. Mechanisms of Action (Simplified & Expanded) - Endothelial Gene Expression Normalization Vesugen appears to restore youthful regulatory patterns in endothelial cells—particularly those involved in angiogenesis, vascular tone, and oxidative stress resistance. - Improved Microcirculation By supporting capillary integrity and reducing microvascular inflammation, Vesugen enhances nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues. - Anti-Ischemic Effects Studies show improved tissue survival and perfusion under low-oxygen conditions, suggesting robust protection against ischemia. - Neurovascular Support The KED sequence has demonstrated unique neurotrophic signaling, helping preserve neuronal health in aging or hypoxic environments.
