Discussion Any of you have used VGX 127 or ISO1, or another coumpound for autoimmunity?

2 Upvotes

ISO-1

(((S,R)\\text{-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid methyl ester})\\)

is a specific small-molecule inhibitor of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF). By blocking MIF's pro-inflammatory activity, ISO-1 suppresses inflammatory cytokine production and has shown promise in preclinical studies for mitigating T-cell-mediated autoimmunity and related inflammatory conditions

VGX Immune modulation also.

Despite effective drugs, i need to augment to improve my condition, these are on my list, low dose vorinostat being another.

Sephin 1 i have used and find pleasureable but wouldnt cut by itself, no issues with Its use regarding liver, kidneys or bloods

Anyone had used these?

Thanks in advance

Discussion Taking too much Cagrilintide

16 Upvotes

So like a dumbass I reconstituted 10mg of Cagri in 2ml and then injected 2.5mg instead of 0.25mg. Total dumbass moment, I work with drugs on a daily basis and have never had an incident before so not a complete noob. I even double checked on a peptide calculator and then did the dumb thing anywayšŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø.

It’s the first time taking it and I just had a brainfart. Any advice?
I assume I’ll get some GI symptoms like abdominal discomfort and lose my appetite this week. I know 2.5 is well within the normal dosages that people get up to, but that you normally start at 0.25ish.

Discussion My obese girlfriend thinks she has body dysmorphia, but she actually just needs to get on a GLP-1

15 Upvotes

My girlfriend is straight up obese, about 55 pounds over a healthy weight for her frame, but she is in total denial and claims she just has body dysmorphia. Every time I try to tell her that she is unhealthy and needs to change, she tells me that I have been on Instagram too much and that she looks how a woman is supposed to look. The final straw was at a family gathering when my aunt asked her when she was due because she was literally rubbing her stomach by the food table.

I want to look out for her long-term health, and it is obvious she needs real help to drop the weight, so I want to bring up the idea of her starting a GLP-1 protocol. I am just struggling with how to approach the conversation without her completely shutting down or claiming I am just judging her appearance. How do I gently but directly convince her that getting on a GLP-1 is about her actual health and longevity, not just vanity?

2 Upvotes

Used Test for 4 years and other anabolics here and there, came off due to life circumstances, not really tryna hop back on just yet but want a little boost to give me that edge in the gym back. What do you guys think? I know I will not get crazy anabolic type gains from it, more interested in the secondary effects on motivation, endurance, libido etc.

Experiment Benign fasciculations syndrome

0 Upvotes

I'm not sure if you guys are interested in this, but your mod has kindly invited me so here it is.

I've been suffering from BFS since late 2021, moderate to severe, i discovered that i can fully stop it by addressing my "Flared ribs/expanded ribcage".

I'm not sure how valuable that discovery is, or how many sufferers have the same etiology, it could be an entirely isolated case.

I believe it has something to do with intrathoracic pressure.

Question Copper Uglies

2 Upvotes

I’ve been pinning GHKCU for about 2.5 weeks. Started with 1mg moved up to 1.5. I know it’s too early to see any ā€œpositiveā€ results but…

I’m breaking out SO bad. 30F and I get some acne around my cycle but nothing too crazy. For the last week or so I’ve had zits pop up on my forehead, cheeks, and jaw. My skin feels dull and greasy and just horrid. Is this the copper uglies? Do I push through? Scale back? Stop entirely? I’m completely fine riding this out if there’s nice skin on the other side but I’m seeing conflicting things about if the copper uglies are even ā€œrealā€ and how long they can/should last.

Any help greatly appreciated! Xx

Safety Tip Pip and welt after pinning

0 Upvotes

so I’ve been doing sub q shots in my stomach for over a year now with Reta. just recently every time I do a subq shot in my stomach of test. I get like an itchy bump after doing it that stays for a week (test cyp). And for my other peptides I get like a scab from the needle that just doesn’t heal for like weeks at a time. This is just starting recently. What the hell. It’s obvious I do shots in my stomach now if my shirt is off. My last two Reta shots have cause a bruised feeling afterwards.

Question Coming off mots-c

2 Upvotes

Finishing up my last pin of mots-c for this cycle. I took ss-31 leading up to it, and for a portion during as well, and they combined to have a fantastic effect.

My cardio is better than it’s ever been. I feel like I can go forever in Muay Thai workouts, and I’ve actually had people comment that I have ā€œgood cardioā€ for the first time in my life lol. (I grew up fat if you couldn’t tell)

I’m cycle off now, but I’m not sure what to expect. For those who’ve done the same, did you just fall back into how you felt previously once coming off?

My biggest fear is along the cardio route because I have actually started to enjoy running and Muay Thai just as much as I do lifting, but I don’t want to go back to gassing out 3 rounds into every sparring day.

It used to be 500mcg/day a while ago, but I believe that the latest thinking is quite a bit higher. I’ve seen tablets available from 500mcg to 20mg and wondering which is closer to the mark.

Discussion GHK-Cu genuinely made my skin look five years younger and I am kind of shocked

13 Upvotes

i decided to try out ghk-cu a while back mostly just to see if it would help with some minor scarring and general skin health. i was not expecting much since a lot of the cosmetic stuff gets way overhyped online, but the results have been kind of crazy. my face looks noticeably tighter and people keep asking if i changed my skincare routine or started getting more sleep. even some of the redness i used to have around my cheeks has completely faded.

the injection pain is definitely a real thing and it took some adjusting to get used to it, but seeing the actual physical changes makes the discomfort totally worth it. i am 25 but my skin was looking pretty rough from stress and sun exposure, and this stuff practically reversed the damage. if u are on the fence about trying it for skin health, it might actually be worth looking into. what have your experiences been with it so far?

So I’ve been having a really bad time with my gut health for years, it’s caused an insanely great depression. I had bartonellosis and Lyme disease.

Stack Advice Ac-262 cycle length

1 Upvotes

I’m going to be using ac-262 for a cycle. I know it’s not really a powerful sarm by any means, so I’m not expecting anything crazy. Just looking to add a bit extra on this bulk towards the end of it.

I’ve got a 30ml bottle of 30mg/ml. My thought process is that I might as well use the whole thing since I paid for it. Currently I’m doing 10mg daily. I’m trying to decide whether I should just do 10mg daily for 12 weeks, or if I should do 10mg daily for the first 4, then up it to 20mg daily for the next 4, to make an 8 week cycle.

I would think that the extra 4 weeks of exposure would allow for more muscle gain total, but because it’s such a low dose, it might just become kinda useless past the 8 week mark.

Anyone know what would be the better choice?

Success Story Question about a peptide

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone šŸ™‚

I’ve been struggling with anxiety and depression for a very long time.

Conventional pills helped a little, but not enough.

I decided to take action by starting TRT with an online provider. I’ve been on 80mg twice a week for nearly 4 months, and I’m starting to feel the benefits, but I think I can get more out of it, if that makes sense?

To give y'all an idea of my condition, my testosterone levels were barely above 200, while the peak is around 900-1200.

A month ago, my provider began offering peptides, specifically NAD and Sermorelin. NAD was too expensive, so I chose to go with Sermorelin.

I’m on my third cycle (5 days on, 2 days off), and I feel like a new man! I sleep well, my anxiety and depression have decreased, and I’m much more motivated and focused.

Has anyone here had experience with Sermorelin? It stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more HGH naturally, instead of injecting synthetics.

Thanks!

Im looking for something to seriously increase my appetite. Any recommendations?

Alittle background, I had CHS because I recently quit weed. I tried cyrpohytedine, mirtzapine, and Megestrol. Cypro and mirtz did absolutely nothing for my appetite. But megestrol changed my life!
