Many peptides people are using may look very interesting, but it’s not uncommon they only have a select few rodent studies to back up these potential ‘health benefits’. And a lot of the BPC-157 studies come from the lab that ‘discovered’ and first published about BPC-157 - and the involved author has in the past sold this peptide.
How can you be so sure about potential side-effects as you state you are in your post? Because frankly I don’t feel that way at all about some of the quite popular peptides, based on the limited research that is available.
Having said that, BPC-157 at least seems to have been used more often by an ‘online community’. So there are quite some ‘self-reports’ online. But how reliable is that really - people may also feel ashamed if they experience side-effects after they decided to use a bit more ‘exotic’ compound, and not report about their experience.

Thanks! I’m fine but my husband and son have PTSD. They thought they lost me for good.

Alenka, sorry to hear about that ordeal! Hope you were able to make a full recovery. Did you send this compound/presumed BPC-157 to a lab and did you have it analysed, as you said you planned to do?

Thanks Pat. No, I didn’t test it. I wasn’t sure what I should test it for and who could do it.

If you’re going to send it to someone, send it to Janoshik. That’s what he does.

If you’re buying peptides on Instagram, there’s the distinct possibility you were given a different drug that induces psychosis. Was it a trusted source or just some guy on Instagram selling this stuff?
It sounds like a bait and switch or a tainted peptide.

Hi Dr. Fraser. Thanks for your support. Send me an email and I’ll send you some information about a remarkable product that renews mitochondrial membranes. My email is: rosspelton79@gmail.com

@DrRoss Why not create a new topic to let everyone know about the mitochondrial product? I’m sure we’d have some very interested inquiries and discussion.

Or send to peptidetest.com , which is located in Florida and does good work. Janoshik is considered the best, but requires international shipping and extended wait times.

Much better for it to be secret off line and I’ll use all the product for myself and you’ll get none … I’ll enjoy checking this out.

Gabapentinoids (e.g pregabalin/Lyrica, gabapentin/Neurontin, and the ‘nootropic’ phenibut) may increase risk of dementia (a Taiwanese study found a 45% increased risk of dementia in patients using pregabalin or gabapentin, and an even higher relative risk in patients under 50). They increase risk of CV issues (stroke, PE, MI, HF, DVT, PVD) in those with diabetic neuropathy, which is also concerning for healthy individuals that use them.
I’ve used them a lot as day enhancers, pre-workout, or even as mild recreational drugs, since they tend to have a lot of pleasant effects on sex, mood, appetite, endurance, nociception, personality, music appreciation, etc. For people that use psychedelics, they combine brilliantly, where they tend to ground the experience and block anxiety, without removing much of depth.
I’ve even used phenibut for months daily because it was the only thing that would relieve my gastritis pain, and during this time I became familiar with their negative side effects on cognition (especially w.r.t semantic memory encoding and quantitative reasoning) and muscle coordination. It’s weird because phenibut actually gives me stomach issues for 1-3 days following my last dose, so I was essentially taking something that causes stomach issues to prevent stomach issues.
Anyways, I’ve cut way back on my use of these substances because of the above concerns, and also because they lost some of their magic with how much I used them. Hopefully more people can become aware of these concerns and avoid frequently using them.

For what it’s worth:
I have been taking 100 mg of seroquel at night for sleep for 20 years.
And I take meclizine as well, which has been shown to be a senolytic and mTOR inhibitor.
Response to Seroquel varies widely. My daughter takes 1100 mg at night and usually sleeps with no daytime drowsiness.
Once, when I was having some sleep problems, my daughter suggested that I try some.
Her prescription comes in a 1-gram tablet + a 100-mg tablet.
I tried the 100mg tablet, and it knocked me out. I slept for 9 hours and was sleepy all of the next day. I titrated down to 25 mg, which worked fine, with no daytime sleepiness.
I may be a hyper-responder.
Seroquel seems to be a very good sleep aid for some. My daughter has been on it for decades with no ill effects.
Seroquel might be a long-term sleep solution for some, but I would certainly titrate up from a low dose.
Seroquel is available from some Indian suppliers, but not Jagdish Nikose.

Are you able to share a source for this powder? I have some powder I bought from rawpowders.co.uk but I’m unsure of the quality and it causes a slight burning sensation in the throat when swallowed diluted in a small amount of water.
