no long term human safety data for most of these, which is the sentence people skip past

Highlights from this day
is BPC-157 oral or does it need injecting to do anything
GHK-Cu did something to my skin texture and i cannot rule out that it was the moisturiser
Recon calculator: 40mg in 2.5ml = 2mg/ml.
whats the evidence base for tesamorelin outside the licensed indication
evidence is thin
injuries heal anyway
secretagogues made me ravenous, which is a fairly direct signal that something was happening
coming back to this the secretagogue effect faded for me after about 1 months and never came back
the tendon claims trace back to a small number of animal studies that get cited well past what they support
oral BPC is a different question from injected and the two get discussed as if theyre the same

purity varies more on these than on the GLP-1s in my experience, 99 on one lot and 99.4 on another
how many weeks is a fair run for GHK-Cu topically
my shoulder got better on BPC and it also got better across six weeks of rest i took at the same time
tesamorelin was the only one where i could point at a measured change rather than a feeling
came back after 5 months off and my baseline was where it was before, so nothing persisted
the scepticism here is because the evidence is thin, not because people are being difficult
TB-500 did nothing for me over 31 weeks and i stand by that a year later
does anyone have a VendorInvestigate result for a SGN BPC lot

my shoulder got better on BPC and it also got better across six weeks of rest i took at the same time
did nothing for me
coming back to this reconstituted 2 in 2ml and it stayed clear for the whole vial, which is the low bar we work with
i think most of what gets reported here is regression to the mean, my own reports included
ran one thing at a time for 4 years and ended up with three conclusions, two of them boring
dark_for_ten_dayshow many weeks is a fair run for GHK-Cu topically my shoulder got better on BPC and it…
if youre going to run something, run it long enough and alone, otherwise dont bother logging it, take that with a pinch of salt
sorry to jump in is stacking three things at once ever defensible
does the verification channel cover these or only the GLP-1s
Digest for the week of 2025-05-01 has been published.

no human data
back after 20 months, has any actual data landed on BPC
ran TB-500 alone for 17 weeks specifically so i could attribute anything that happened
cold chain matters for anything reconstituted whatever it is, mine live at 4 degrees, ymmv
i was confident BPC did something for my elbow and a year later im not, injuries resolve
🧪4
anyone reconstituted a 10 vial of these to 8 and had it stay clear
i log these exactly like doses, date, amount, site, what i noticed, and its still hard to read back
cant tell honestly
baseline month helped
the honest split is that some of these have licensed uses and some have a reputation and nothing else
nobody here can tell you whether BPC will help your injury and anyone who does is guessing
placebo maybe
are secretagogues worth it if you sleep badly anyway
rodent data only
whats a sensible way to tell whether a stack did anything at all
