Best of Peptides

Cgm Discussion

And, you know, I will apologize to the audience, not your audience, but the world at large and say, you know, I really took for granted a lot of the basics because I've been using...

"Oh, this is what I'll say. I don't know of any compounder or research chemical company. We can talk about the difference between research chemical companies and compound pharmacies if you want. I'm happy to, but I don't know anybody that's actually going out on the line and paying an independent third-party company to test their peptides because it costs money, one. And number two, they're using an FDA-registered DEA-certified lab to do it, right? So whether they're a compounder or a research chemical company, who's actually doing that? Now, again, the compound people will hear this podcast and they'll say, Ben, that's just part of the deal if you're a compounder. Well, is it? I mean, again, who's testing the compounders? Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Well, I can tell you that I began to use what you sent last week and I had forgotten, you know, you brought up ipamaryllin. You sent me ipamaryllin and tessamaryllin. You actually asked me about a few of the things that I'd want to try. And I named those two because I did a stint of them a couple of years ago. I think I did two different 8 to 12-week stints of them during the year and saw profound increases in lean muscle gain and fat loss despite no significant changes in diet and exercise. And, you know, my sleep score has been like 92 to 95% for the past week since I started doing that. I actually do the ipimaryllin injection in the morning and the tessamorellin in the evening. And, yeah, I have forgotten how unstoppable you feel when you're taking these things. And so the epimoral and the tessimoral, why is it that that compound or that stack seems to work so well? That is a really good question. So I obviously, we wrote about that in the book. So I know, you know, you already mentioned Nick, you know, Nick Andrews and I were involved in writing the book. We obviously produced the course, which you were so grateful. I mean, gracious to promote for us last year. And then we're going to talk about a new course that's coming that's going to be for babies. And then let's just take a step back before I answer your question. I think you know this, you know, your audience is a lot bigger than mine. I mean, the reality is, is that peptides represent this like new form of let's call it quantum healing in medicine, right? In the last three years, regardless of our opinions of what have happened, a lot of people feel burned. They have lost trust in allopathic medicine. They've lost trust in, you know, let's call it the system. And so what's happening right now is a lot of people are coming into, you know, let's just call it collective awakening or mass consciousness. And they're like peptides. And I don't want to rabbit hole and talk to them about bioregulators, but I know we're going to be talking about that because that's even a bigger thing coming because they're orals and not injectables. But the biggest issue with peptides, as you know, and you just said it, you're like, oh, I injected this at night and this in the morning. And that literally eliminates from our, you know, internal Jay Campbell teams, test, not testimonials, but surveys and questionnaires that we do, 85% of people are still too afraid to inject themselves. You and I can sit there and we can show them that it's a 32 or 31 gauge inch needle and you can jab yourself anywhere and you want to heal it. Basically what millions of diabetics do daily. Exactly. But again, it's a hang up. It's actually called tyrannophobia, which is a fear needles needle phobia but it's called tyrannophobia fear of injections that was a fear of dinosaurs but it makes sense it's the craziest name what it means yeah me too tyrannophobia but the reality is is that you got 85 percent of the public that will not inject themselves so like we can sit up here we can talk about talk about how amazing these things are, but there's still this like level of fear that the consumer, the end user has to overcome. And once they do, I mean, obviously it's simple, right? It's like brushing your teeth, but it's very interesting because that's the biggest bugaboo as I've gotten so deep into this. And honestly, as I told you four months ago, and you were obviously very gracious to write the foreword for the book, and I'm very grateful about that. And I appreciate you guys always say, man, I truly love it. Embarrassingly live on the podcast, could not remember the title of the book I wrote the foreword for, but I remember it was quite good. You talk to a lot of people, bro. It's okay. But no, but seriously,fully, um, it's crazy to see how big peptides are becoming right now in the mass consciousness. I mean, I cannot handle my assistants cannot handle the emails and the messages, um, that I'm getting. And so I'm letting, you know, for warning as when this podcast runs, man, you are going to be getting so many people message you, asking you questions, not that you don't already, but you know about this, because this is just such a big thing right now. But at the end of the day, uh, injecting yourself is like I said, brushing your teeth after you do it once, perhaps twice, you're never going to be afraid of it. You're not going to have fear of it. It's something that's very easy to do. It doesn't require any kind of skill. You know, watch one video, listen to me and you talk about it. The next course that I have coming, which is called Peptides Demystified, is going to be a basic intro newbies, total neophyte level course on how to do this with all of the questions that people have that you and I take for granted, you know, again, how to prepare your needle, how to use bacterial static water, how to inject a peptide, all this kind of stuff. So it's going to be much more helpful. And, you know, I will apologize to the audience, not your audience, but the world at large and say, you know, I really took for granted a lot of the basics because I've been using peptides for so long, but, you know, no familiarity with them at all so i'm really grateful now that there's you know obviously you giving me this forum um and obviously the mind pump guys too to really talk about this because i'm telling you man it's mind-blowing how many people are interested in peptides glp1 glucagon-like peptides these small molecules that help you not eat and then some people result in what they call ozempic phase. Yep, we're going to talk about those next. So get ready to hear Pendulum's Colleen Cutcliffe's take on GLP-1. What's GLP-1 stand for? GLP-1 stands for glucon-like peptide, and essentially it is a small molecule that stimulates insulin response, and it actually does more than that. So on the one hand, it stimulates insulin response to help clear out the sugar in your blood after you've eaten a meal. But it also appears to have a very strong tie to our brains and our cravings and our food cravings. And so people who take these GLP-1 drugs, which are designed for people with type 2 diabetes, not only see that their sugars are metabolized in their blood more effectively by releasing insulin, but they also find that they have increased satiety. So they just really don't crave foods as much. And so that combination leads to kind of a really nice positive cycle in which you are metabolizing sugars better. And then you're also craving less of the foods that kind of cause these high sugar spikes. And so GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and things like that, that's how they function, and they're extremely effective in helping to lower blood glucose spikes and lower food cravings. Would you ever take those, I think they call them semaglutide peptides because now I know why I've heard that term GLP-1 before because everybody's dropping that as the way that these drugs like or peptides if you want to call them like ozempic actually work. What do you think of those? I personally would not take them. And the reason is because first of all, they were designed for people with type 2 diabetes, who are people that are actually unable to produce the right amount of GLP-1 in order to manage their blood glucose spikes. So you're talking about people that have a disease that a drug was designed for. And if you're a healthy person, and you're able to make GLP-1, kind of adding a drug on top of that in general, there's going to be side effects that you're going to experience. But maybe more importantly is physiologically what GLP-1, how it's supposed to work. So how it's supposed to work is that, you know, you eat food, your microbiome digests that food, and it tells your body, we just ate a bunch of food, we need to clear the blood, we need to clear the glucose out of the blood. So it stimulates GLP-1. GLP-1 gets released. It tells your body to just ate a bunch of food we need to clear the blood that we need to clear the glucose out of the blood so it stimulates glp1 glp1 gets released it tells your body to release insulin you clear the the sugar out of your bloodstream so actually the levels of glp1 in your blood go like this kind of similar to blood glucose spikes when your body eats food glp1 gets spiked in your bloodstream to tell your body to metabolize that sugar, and then it goes away. And then when you eat again, it does the same thing. And so you're supposed to have this cycle of GLP-1. What the GLP-1 drugs do is they increase GLP-1 consistently. So you no longer have this cycle that your body is supposed to have. It's just high levels of GLP-1 all the time."

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Protocol

A lot of them were banned already because we had this thing called the peptide scandal back in the 2000s where a professional sporting team were just shooting up AOD and TB500 and none of...

"Look, I used to run an exercise physiology lab. We used to have a lot of tubes and a lot of equipment and a lot of big heavy boxes to be able to test how many calories, how much fat, and how many carbs you're burning. And now I feel like an idiot because, actually I feel old, because technology has progressed to the point where now it's in a tiny little handheld device smaller than a phone. And it just ties to an app that tells you if you're burning fat or carbs. And not only that, but it gives you tailored guidance to improve your nutrition, your workouts, sleep, your stress management, all based on a simple breath. So it's incredible. It's convenient. Again, it makes me feel like a dinosaur using all this techie stuff back in my exercise physiology days that now is teeny, teeny, tiny and super convenient.

From the episode, The Coolest, Craziest Peptides You've Never Heard of, and one of my favorite guys in the supplement industry, Kyle Vanderleest from Level Up Health, we're going to talk about oral bioavailability of peptides and what you need to know about the risks of contamination with injectable peptides and a whole lot more. All right, here we go. What's the state of the peptide industry in Australia right now? Is it similar to the US where it's under increasing scrutiny, particularly the injectables? Well, prior to the September ban from compounding chemists last year, Australia was stricter than America. A lot of them were banned already because we had this thing called the peptide scandal back in the 2000s where a professional sporting team were just shooting up AOD and TB500 and none of the regulatory bodies in Australia knew what these were and they kind of made them look silly because all these 20, 30 athletes taking to the field looking like super soldiers and winning games and doing fantastic. But, you know, they were doing something that wasn't approved, so a lot of those players ended up getting banned. One of them was the MVP for the league for that season. He got stripped of that title after they found out they were doing peptides. And as a reactionary step, they banned and put a lot of stigma around peptides within Australia. So, yeah, ones like TB500 are still banned today. AOD 9604, I believe, is banned as well. And basically everything they took, they put on the banned list in Australia. And by the way, Kyle, was that both the oral and the injectable versions? Just the injectable versions is what they were doing. A lot of the players would slander the other players by mimicking the injectable, like doing an injection on the field. That was how the other teams were kind of like pettily mocking them for doing these actually highly advanced biohacking protocols, like credit to the team for doing that. I know as well they were doing things like hyperbaric oxygen and red light therapy all the way back in like 2006. So they were pushing the envelope then, but maybe a bit too far ahead the curve. But for as far as the bans and stuff, I think it's actually a bit more relaxed here comparative to America because you guys now have the FDA ban for compounding chemists. That's the big thing I need to clarify is the ban on these list of 19 peptides is exclusively for these compounding chemists."

Bpc 157: Benefits

Oh, that one's a tripeptide formula. It's got KPV, lorazotide, and BPC.

"Can you break down what each of those are and how they work? Sure. So BPC-157, everyone's favorite peptide at the moment, if you're into peptides."

Bpc 157: Benefits

If people want to check it out, what if you had everything you needed to take control of your health all in one place?

"It's a COX-2 inhibitor, and it really just helps with inflammation. It's kind of like a turmeric and a cannabis oil combined without any of the cannabinoids and any of the things that people worry about with CBD. So I really love that ingredient as a functional filler in my products. I don't ever use things like rice flour or just cellulose as a filler in the products. I think that's such a missed opportunity when, you know, the peptides, they're only usually in microgram quantities. So you are left with, if it's a 700 milligram capsule, you're left with like 699 milligrams to do something to synergize with the peptides. And that's in every formula I do. That's what I try and utilize. If people are taking a capsule, let's just get the most out of that capsule. I know your capsules are pretty jam-packed, man. It's crazy. And the PEA, based on the effects on the endocadminoid system, would that also assist with sleep or sleep architecture? Yeah, it can definitely do that. It can also reduce your neuroinflammation levels. And because it's PEA is actually a fatty acid, it has an affinity for the brain and for the heart. So it's a fantastic one for anyone who has any cardiac inflammation, but also any neuro inflammation. So the PEA and the magnesium threonate I was using together when I was living really close to a cell phone tower years ago before I knew any better. And they really sort of helped me get through that along with things like methylene blue. Yeah, the GHK copper peptide, you sent me that one. Now, what would be the time or the reason to take that early? So GHK is one that has that low bioavailability that I spoke of, and most people will inject it, which as a copper thing to inject, it can actually be quite painful. But you take the GHK because it's fantastic for anti-aging. It upregulates a heap of your longevity genes. It helps activate your stem cells. And even if you take it orally, it will end up systemic the way I formulated it. And then it has just fantastic effects for your skin, for the stem cells of your skin, but also for the stem cells of your gut. So in maybe three or four months time, I'm going to actually be adding it to the GI repair formula because I've just found so much literature on it helping with the gut that at the moment, with that large dose of zinc, I balance it out with copper citrate. Well, I'm just going to swap that copper citrate for the GHK copper. That way I'm still maintaining a good zinc to copper balance, but we're adding a very, very functional synergistic peptide rather than just a bit of token copper to balance those ratios out. Yeah.

I had a Q and a episode called cheap hacksse Aging and whether or not peptides could cause cancer. Well, let's dive in and hear what I had to say. All right. The first question comes from Bay Area 1976 and M. Bogey 8000. I don't know how somebody as two people asked the question, but they figured it out beyond me. I'm a Luddite. So they say, can BPC-157 feed polyp growth in the colon due to the creation of new blood vessels? Wow. This is interesting. This reminds me of the questions I got a few months ago when the study came out showing that NAD could accelerate the growth of cancer. Turns out it's true. If you already have a preexisting tumor, in this case, breast cancer, supplementing with NAD or NR, NMN may cause tumor growth. It would mean that if you have cancer, you may want to think twice about using NAD, particularly breast cancer. Uh, this is also something that came up in that old book by, I think, T. Colin Campbell called the China Study, in which he suggested that excess protein intake could cause cancer. Well, it turns out that in rats who had been given a toxin that caused tumor growth, that once a tumor was present, a high protein diet could accelerate tumor growth and put that tumor in a pro-anabolic state. No surprises there, right? So it's kind of one of those things where does this cause cancer or does this, if you already have cancer, have the potential to cause accelerated growth? You always have to ask yourself that because the media misses that part. They're like, well, it's associated with tumor growth, so it must cause cancer. As a matter of fact, many of these things that cause cancer tumor growth in a state in which cancer is already present may actually be preventive in other cases. And we'll get into that. So for those of you who are unfamiliar with BPC-157, it's a peptide. It's technically called a pentadecapeptide. So that's a fancy term for a series of 15 amino acids held together by peptide bonds. It's also known as body protection compound. It's known as PL10. It's known as PL14736. It's known as what else? Bipicisin. It's got a lot of different names, but it's most popularly known as BPC-157. We've known about it since the early 90s. It's not found in many places, but in your gut, it actually is made as a body protecting compound. That's exactly what it does. It protects and it heals tissue. Now it's made synthetically, right? It's derived from a protein found in the human gut, but it's just one part of that protein that's naturally produced in the digestive system. So then they synthesize this peptide. So a lot of people use it for healing up tissue, for oral consumption, which the FDA has not cracked down on, by the way, they've only cracked down on the injectable version of BPC-157. But the oral version, a lot of people will use for gut issues and systemically for inflammation system-wide until the injectable version began to become less and less available. Thank you, FDA. I used to inject it into joints, subcutaneously into abdominal tissue after like a plane flight or any other situation, which I was a little bit more inflamed. And in addition to all of its beneficial healing effects, it's also a strong, and this is particularly relevant to cancer, it's a strong angiomodulatory agent. Angiomodulatory means it affects how blood vessels are made. So research suggests that BPC can help to heal tissue by increasing blood flow. And one of the ways it does this is through what's called angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. That basically means it helps to create new arteries and new veins, right? Angiogenesis, new arteries, vasculogenesis, new veins. But here's probably why my two astute listeners asked this question. Blood vessels are involved in the creation of tumors as well, right? And some researchers have speculated that by helping create new blood vessels to tissue, BPC-157 could also help supply the blood that supports cancerous tissue growth. Now, I know studies have shown that I'm aware of and that I can find that BPC-157 can actually support cancerous tissue growth, but there's a suggested mechanism of action that dictates that maybe it's helping to feed blood vessels into tumors. But then you could also look at studies that have been done on BPC's potential protective effects against cancer. So for example, if you have lesions and ulcers and stomach lining damage, and particularly schizophrenia can be found to cause damage to the stomach lining, BPC-157 can prevent those lesions from forming. And in one study, they gave mice what's called haloperidol, which forms stomach lesions, and the BPC-157 significantly reduced the size of those stomach lesions. And that means it's helping to prevent the damage to the stomach that could lead to cancerous tumors or cancerous stomach ulcers. In addition, they've shown that BPC-157 can have an inhibitory effect on skin cancer cell growth. So there's two feathers in the cap, so to speak, for BPC-157 for actually not causing cancer and in fact controlling formation of stomach cancer, skin cancer. Now it might also help to treat some of the side effects of the drugs used to treat cancer. You take a chemotherapy drug like a cyclophosphamide. Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug. It's very effective at killing cancer cells, but it has some unfortunate side effects. And one of those is that it causes lesions to the stomach. See where I'm going here? And they've actually looked at the effects of BPC-157 in rats given this cyclophosphamide chemotherapeutic agent. And they found that the rats that were given the BPC had much smaller stomach lesions than the rats that were not given BPC-157. And the researchers concluded in that study that BPC-157 is a very safe anti-ulcer peptide. Now, BPC may also, and I think the same thing about amino acids in general, be helpful in treating cancer cachexia. So cachexia is also known as wasting syndrome. Okay, this is where somebody gets cancer and they lose body mass, including muscle and fat. It can be caused by cancer. It could also be caused by AIDS. And almost half of cancer patients suffer from cachexia at some point. And cachexia is a problem because that leads to a lot of frailty complications, including death, and some estimates go as high as 20% of cancer deaths being more related to cachexia than directly to the cancer itself. However, BPC-157 could help in the treatment of cachexia resulting from cancer. Now, when you look at all the other things that BPC-157 could do, improve inflammatory bowel disease, improve the ability for ligaments and tendons to heal, for muscles to heal, for bones to heal, for skin to regrow, to regenerate spinal tissue in some studies in rodent models, but still, it has a lot going for it. It seems to be very safe. It may even help to cure periodontitis, which is a periodontal disease, basically, and wound healing, even from burns and significant skin wounds. So here's the thing. I'm not that concerned about its potential for causing polyp growth in the colon due to creation of new blood vessels. I'm not going to say that's ironclad and that we don't still have a need for long-term human clinical research on the association between any peptide, including BPC-157 and cancer. However, it's very safe. It's very simple. And I'm personally comfortable using it. I probably, if I had a tumor, would not, let's say going for my colonoscopy tomorrow and I find a bunch of polyps growing. I would probably restrict my intake of anything anabolic for a while. IGF-1 or IGF-1 precursors or peptides, BPC-157, anything that could assist with the creation of new blood vessels. I have a whole list of things I would do if I but you know, I would be having a very polyphenol and flavanol forward ketogenic based diet. And I would be doing, you know, a lot of fasting, a lot of grounding and earthing and movement and ozone and hyperbaric. And you know, there, there's a whole list of things. I had a whole podcast about cancer a few weeks ago and I'll link to that one in the show notes. Cause I went on for like 45 minutes in terms of all the different treatments out there. But anyways, long story short is I wouldn't worry that much about BPC-157. It's still available orally if you want to try it. There's a few sources out there. I still have a stock in my refrigerator of the injectable stuff. If you want to know more about the FDA cracking down on it, I have a series of videos on Instagram right now about peptides that you can go watch. They're at instagram.com slash Ben Greenfield Fitness. All right. So another great practical question from BigSexyKG. Does boiling hot coffee over collagen peptides denature the peptides at all? Boiling, well, this is relevant because a lot of people are into putting collagen in their coffee. It doesn't have to be with or without butter, right? Collagen can be put in your coffee. And a lot of people really like that because collagen can be very protective to joints. It can assist with sarcopenia that occurs with age. I have many people who are aging and who are also health enthusiasts. Mark Sisson's probably the guy who first turned me on to this. 40 grams of collagen a day. Now I do 40 grams of amino acids per day. I also drink bone broth. I do a little gelatin, obviously here and there from my massive jello projects, but collagen, it is a legitimate question because collagen supplements contain what are called hydrolyzed collagen peptides. Now hydrolyzed collagen peptides are what you get when collagen protein is broken down to smaller portions so the collagen can be easily broken down and used by the body. Now, the process uses heat for the extraction of those peptides, and that heat is typically no hotter than 190 degrees because exposing collagen peptides to higher temperatures can result in degradation. Now, although heat can render the collagen powder less useful, if you actually have collagen peptides and you want to degrade them to the point where they're no longer functional at all, you have to get above 300 degrees Fahrenheit. And if you're drinking your coffee at above 300 degrees Fahrenheit, you're a mad scientist, you have a lot of pain tolerance, or you have no skin left in your lips or your mouth. Because coffee is typically brewed at 200 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Now, if you put collagen in your coffee and you want to play it safe, only heat your hot water, if you have one of those electronic water heaters, to 190. And that'd be the safest way to go. But you got to get close to 300 to really start to make the collagen so denatured that you're not going to get any benefits out of it. Now, this is important to know because dietary collagen cannot be absorbed. It has to be broken down to individual amino acids, which are the building blocks for proteins for your body to use. And because of this, if you're just relying on collagen rich foods and chewing the knuckles off of the chicken and having some bone marrow here and there or some bone broth, the collagen is not actually broken down. It's less absorbable. It's not going to hurt you, but you're not going to get all the benefits of a broken down collagen peptide or hydrolyzed collagen. So when you hydrolyze it, it can actually increase its absorbability. And there are things like vitamin C that you can include, you know, like a match made in heaven is made in heaven is some collagen coffee and a handful of blueberries, for example, because vitamin C rich foods help to boost collagen levels. Now, you could also add vitamin C to your coffee. There's no reason you can't do that or take some liposomal vitamin C before you have your coffee with the collagen in it. Now, for the collagen to be absorbed, the proteins in it need to be denatured to alter their structure. And that puts them into a pre-digested form that allows them to be more easily absorbed. And that's done using heat. We've established it's only 190 degrees and you don't have to get much hotter than that. So long story short is it's pretty rare that you're going to be cooking with collagen above 200 degrees. But if you are making, I don't know, collagen bread or collagen casserole or collagen turkey or whatever, and you are doing higher temperatures, you are going to denature the collagen to a certain extent and render it possibly somewhat a little bit less beneficial for you.
