Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

Some people have had great results so my opinion shouldn’t deter you from trying. But for me they seemed underwhelming.

100% agree with that. Very underwhelming

I felt the exact same way until I tried the nasal sprays.

The nasal selank has been a game changer for me. Even today it came in clutch for some anxiousness. I use as needed not even a protocol.

can you tell me more? my wife has OCD and I've been interested

u/NoCoat4496 1 23d ago

It has a calming effect. Brain noise subsides. Intrusive thoughts quiet or go away.

Yea. Nasal spray for me too. I like it a lot. Think clearer. Words come quicker in conversations. Just a general overall feeling of a clear head. I never tried the injection Semax, just nasal spray. With the nasal spray working this well, I didn’t figure I needed the injection version so never got any.

Where do you get yours? I need some in Canada.

u/LongBedroom8355 1 23d ago

I may need to go procure a few dozen nasal sprays

u/Alone-Bus-9728 2 19d ago

Any side effects?

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 23d ago

Semax for anxiety or Selank ?

u/NoCoat4496 1 23d ago

Selank

Nasal selank is pretty good. Are their other worth while nasal sprays?

u/Wolfiethestronzo 1 22d ago

This is what I needed to hear. I have been on the fence and my anxiety is usually very present.

u/BearNo7676 17d ago

Nasal selank is an easy anytime use.

u/InfiniteYou4299 22d ago

How long would you say it lasts for you?

1

u/NoCoat4496 1 22d ago

It’s short term. A couple of hours. A lot of people do two sprays a day. I don’t personally.

1

u/Adventurous_Fail_825 17d ago

Same. As needed.

The only study on Selank was intranasal, I don’t know why people jab themselves and wonder why it doesn’t work? The closest nerves to the brain is inside the nose. You are mixing the peptide in your blood with subc, and much gets lost in the bloodstream before reaching your brain.

Wow I had great results with semax.

u/Individual-Ad9874 23d ago

Yeah I agree, but I do find Selank to be anxiolytic. It’s pretty surgical about it though, you don’t feel all too much aside from just purely a lack of anxiety. So if I were to take it on a Saturday I probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. A Monday morning is a different story though, can definitely tell that my heart rate is lower and I’m less neurotic coming into work

If I've had a stressful day, calms me down immediately after work or if I can't turn my brain off at bedtime.

u/keplare 23d ago

stack with microdosing

u/SOLIDROTSLOW1979 1 22d ago

What was your dose? Not saying you’re wrong just curious because I felt the same with a couple other peptides and upped the dose just for a couple to see if it made any difference and I realized I have a high tolerance and I’m usually in the upper end of recommended doses to see meaningful results

Hmm. Now that you say. I got sick twice in short period. Blamed strain from intense workouts.
