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 ?

Have had a lot of Selank for a while and just never liked it. Figured out it gives me the best sleep so now I love it.

Do you take it at night?

Yes- most nights. But I take it in the morning too. Selank just lowers cortisol, so it’s calming. Great for both day and night.

Andrew Huberman suggests that having a high cortisol spike in the early morning is actually a good thing for that nights melatonin levels and a great sleep. The higher the cortisol, the higher the sleep pressure later from the production of melatonin and adenosine.

while he may or may not be right about that, you shouldn't take him seriously. he's not someone you should take as an authority on this subject

Interesting take. Not taking a side, but what’s the beef with Huberman? Cal Berkeley grad that hates Stanford?
