What would you do?
@Hack Smith Okay, starting July 17th, I will be working 7 days a week, until the 1st week of September. . I am a Server and work at the Racetrack 4 days a week where I do about 10-15k steps daily carrying super heavy trays for about 8 hrs a day. The other 3 days are at a different restaurant where I average about 10k steps a day, but not carrying heavy things. Just a lot of running around for about 5-6 hours. I'm over 60, don't work out because I'm truly exhausted, and cannot risk accidentallypulling something. Lol. I'm already on Tirz, 1.5 a week for maintenance. Do not need to lose more weight.I take a lot of supplements and HRT. Testosterone gel. I need a good stack for..... Mental clarity-brain power, memory Energy- Good mood, endurance Support for my muscles so they don't break down. Pain- dealing with massive back pain with aches & pains Immune support- I just cannot afford to be sick. Interested to hear everyone's suggestions. I have a stash of most peps. (PS. On another site someone recommended just taking HGH?)
Traveling with Peppers
I do not have pens, so I will need to travel (drive) with at least 6 vials for a short trip. What type of containers do you use to keep the reconstituted peps at appropriate temps at trips for a 4-8 hour drive? Thanks in advance!

@Hack Smith I'm going to Maui, I'm trying to figure out how to get my peppers there, any suggestions? I do not use pens either.

@Hack Smith I'll probably need many cases. Lol I am scared of pens because so many ppl have experienced leaks and lost product. I swear to god, I need somebody here to hold my hand and show me how to do it. Even though i've watched the videos, I don't feel comfortable. 😭 plus... I'd need so many. $$$. People say Savios are the best, its a lot of money to lay out.

ARA-290: The Best Peptide You *Might* Have Never Heard Of
Most of your favorite peptides probably have something to do with weight loss or body composition. That's part of why ARA-290 gets overlooked. It's ultimate purpose is for repair and anti-inflammation. It's a synthetic peptide derived from erythropoietin (EPO) but without the cardiovascular risks. They essentially isolated the repair components that help with neuroprotection and tissue-protection while getting rid of the part that stimulated red blood cell production. ARA-290 binds to something called the innate repair receptor (IRR). These receptors are formed and appear on the outside of localized areas where severe metabolic stress, low oxygen, or tissue injury exists. This is basically a receptor that can be targeted to create a shift in the local environment that may be pro-inflammatory and tissue-damaging and turn it around into a healing and tissue repair environment by reducing cytokine production and enhancing some tissue repair processes. If you read the Immune System course, cytokines are your immune system's inflammatory signaling molecules that are driving inflammation for various reasons throughout the body. In animals, they actually observed long-term relief after sciatic nerve injury, and that relief came FAST. In humans, they've looked at it for small fiber neuropathy. Small fiber neuropathy is the nerve damage that can cause burning, tingling, and pain. In the sarcoidosis group, it significantly helped with neuropathic and autonomic symptoms and 28-days of treatment was actually able to initiate regrowth of small nerve fibers in the cornea. The same thing happened in the type 2 diabetes patients, but they also had a better metabolic profile (so pay attention to that side of things if using). In all populations, there were really no significant adverse effects. From personal experience, I can tell you that within 4 days, my sciatic pain was almost completely gone. Before ARA-290, I was limping around half of the day. The reconstitution protocol is in the classroom over in the paid community as well because this one can be a bit tricky.

This is a very good peptide. I do recommend doinv the 4mg's a day. I did it the first time around at the lower.Dose in it didn't really do anything.
Fatigue
Not sure whats going on but the fatigue is real. Currently just started SS31, Semax & 5Amino. This feels like when I first started Reta. 🫩 as follows: Semax @ 500mcg Daily 5Amino @ 250mcg Daily SS 3x weekly @ 2mg KLOW 3x weekly @ 4mg Reta 1x weekly(titrated up to 4mg beginning of the month)

Best MOTS-C Dosage / Protocol?
This is probably the most common question I'm seeing now. What's the best dosage? How often for MOTS-C? Over in the paid community ($10/month), I have the explanation for this broken down in the Consolidated Reconstitution, Dosage, and Cycle Lengths Course. I actually have the protocols written out for all of the peptides. This is how it's written in that course: Common Dosages - Injectable: MOTS-C protocols can vary quite a bit in terms of dosages and frequency. People do anywhere from 0.5 to 5mg per injection. Ultimately, I think that starting on the low end to assess individual response, then increasing over time if needed is the best way to do it. If you can respond well at 0.5 mg and get what you need out of it, great. You saved money. Timing - Injectable: Because this typically gives energy, best time to take it is in the morning or pre-workout. It can be done either daily, every other day, or 5 days on 2 days off. So basically, starting low to assess effects does 1 of 2 things: 1. Let's you find an effective dosage 2. Saves you money Typically though, if someone is looking for the energy that it gives, they do it daily as that's how long the energy lasts for them. If they're looking for exercise performance increases, they may only take it on the days before a workout. But if looking for the metabolic benefits, increased insulin sensitivity, etc. then typically only a few times a week can be sufficient. Also, people say that they keep seeing a lot of varied protocols out there for this one. Well, this protocol covers it all. This post also explains the reasoning / justification behind the various frequencies. Now back outside to keep pressure washing and I'll be back in a bit if there are any questions!

I do run a group for women over 50 on Facebook. We talk about Menopause, hormones and peptides that can help! I do NOT sell anything.
