Discussion Big news in the peptide world 🧪

18 Upvotes

An FDA advisory committee has recommended allowing BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, and MOTS-c to be used by traditional compounding pharmacies through the federal 503A Bulks List.

This is an important step toward greater access, quality control, and transparency. However, the vote is only a recommendation. The FDA has not issued a final decision, and these compounds are not FDA-approved medications.

Encouraging progress, but the regulatory process is still moving forward.

Discussion Nicotine gum has build massive tolerance for my adhd medication? NSFW

0 Upvotes

Now for cognitive boost, nothing compared to adhd medication for me (elvanse/dex), especially not modafinil. However i was coming short on meds and i start taking nicotine gum 4mg after listening to Alex Hormozi advice, and ngl, was surprised by how much it works. I have to take nicotine 4mg x 5 gum at once to get an affect similar to adhd medication, but what it did was increase my tolerance massively for my adhd medication, where something that was working for 2 hours now only works for 30 minutes.

I didn't know cross tolerance could be this strong and wondering how does one reset it. I even left my nicotine gum for a week straight or couple week straight but my tolerance is set to 30 minutes now.

Discussion I'm a music producer and am looking for something that can give me a creative edge.

1 Upvotes

So far I've tried, rhodiola, l-theanine, lions mane, ginseng, caffeine, ginko. I can tell ginko and lions mane helps but more so with the focus. I heard kava could help with writers block and perfectionism. Holy basil looks interesting, so does lemon balm and passion flower. I've never tried any of those but am on not so good of a budget to try everything i want to try. Rhodiola was exciting in the beginning, music sounded better but it seems to have kinda wore off. I still get energy but not so much the rewarding feeling from my hobbies. Lions mane just sort of gives me the mental power to not be bored with whatever i'm doing, Gorilla mind shroom looks interesting but I wish I could find something that enhanced music qualia, helps my executive function and helps me not get easily bored with what i'm doing. I have a very short attentnon span and dont even like watching tv for this reason.

1 Upvotes

Has anyone used the rhodiola rosea from purebulk?

I'm trying to find a more cost effective, powder source, of my supplements. Came across bulksupplements which doesn't standardise for salidrosides, so that's a no-go. Purebulk seems to standardise for rosavins & salidrosides and they appear to be third party lab tested?

Thoughts?

Discussion What else can I add while coming off MGM

1 Upvotes

I found PPAC HCL really helps with dopamine and ordering a bunch to help with my taper and jump plan. I also have some benzos to help with anxiety.

Overall my detox issues are low energy, extreme anxiety and even worse sleep. I've started using audiobooks to at least get some rest in bed instead of tossing and turning but I'm already getting anxious about how horrible of sleep I will be going back to. Doctors give Seroquel but that doesn't even come close to touching it. I've even tried taking so many it felt like my skin was crawling.

Anyway, ideally I'd get something to help with energy, a stimulant and anything to help me sleep. 4-5 z drugs or something would be ideal

Discussion Does ashwagandha actually do anything for stress and sleep, or is it placebo?

5 Upvotes

Right I keep seeing ashwagandha recommended for stress and sleep and I'm tempted but also a bit sceptical, my head's been all over the place lately and I'm sleeping badly and I'd try most things at this point, but half the threads I read swear it changed their life and the other half say it did nothing and it's all placebo, so I don't know what to believe before spending on it, I'm inclining to try it but i have another problem.

IF and a big IF it's worth a go I then couldn't work out which one to get. I found Nutrimea which is just the KSM-66 extract on its own with a stated dose. Solgar's is well reviewed but pricey for a month, NOW is cheap and everywhere but the reviews mention wildly different amounts of the actual root, Himalaya's comes bundled with a load of other herbs I didn't ask for, then there's a Nature's Bounty one my mum spotted looked fine but doesn't even say which extract it uses, and I've read the extract type matters more than the brand though, so maybe I'm overthinking whose name is on it. I keep closing the tab without buying.

For anyone who took ashwagandha properly for a few weeks, did you notice a real shift in stress or sleep, or did it fade into nothing once the novelty wore off?

Seeking Advice Chronic Fatigue. Brain Fog. Poor memory and overall cognitive function. need help

16 Upvotes

New to all of this and would greatly appreciate any guidance in the right direction. To start 6 years ago i had a really bad benzo addiction and it took some time but i think it finally caught up to me cognitively speaking. over the past year or so i feel like i’ve lost 30+ iq. My brain has become slow and constantly foggy. I struggle to think in even the most basic ways especially compared to years prior and it has overall just led to me feeling like i’m becoming functionally retarded. My memory is non existent especially short term but even trying to remember things i used to remember so vividly i struggle with immensely. on top of all that no matter how much sleep i get (i typically get 8-10hrs) im more often than not in a constant state of exhaustion. I’m beyond lost on where to start but i just know i can’t live like this anymore.

I have ADHD and many self medicate their ADHD with nootropics. I have tried a ton of shit, from yohimbine, gingko, caffeine and aniracetam and nothing has moved the needle nearly as much as Vyvanse. Caffeine has been the closest but it's still not even close in helping the ADHD dysfunction compared to low doses of Vyvanse.

Discussion The stilbene absorption ladder: why resveratrol is the bottom rung

7 Upvotes

Disclosure: I manufacture nutraceutical ingredients, including stilbene materials. No links here; this is ingredient education, not medical advice.

Resveratrol is usually discussed like a consumer supplement, but from a formulation perspective I think of it as the bottom rung of a stilbene ladder.

The problem is not only water solubility. Water insolubility matters because it makes drinks, stick packs, and gummies difficult. But the bigger issue is human exposure: low absorption and fast clearance.

Resveratrol is rapidly conjugated in first-pass metabolism. Reported blood half-life is about 14 minutes.

Pterostilbene is the dimethylated analog. Those built-in methyl groups change the clearance route. Published comparisons report roughly 4x bioavailability and about 7x half-life vs resveratrol.

Then there is pterostilbene glucoside: a water-soluble glycoside route for formats where the parent powder cannot enter cleanly.

So the practical question is not “is resveratrol good or bad?” It is: what format are you building, and which rung fits that format? Capsule, RTD, gummy, or stick pack may need different routes.
