Mitochondria supporting peptides are gaining momentum, because they work. At Regenerative Research we stock larger vials which greatly improves the cost. 50mg SS-31 (99.82% pure) available now and 40mg MOTS-c up later this week. All tested for purity and free of endotoxins.

BPC-157+TB500 failing to fix your bad back? They fix what blood can reach. Discs and cartilage? Not so much. SS-31 restores mitochondrial energy, KPV cools inflammation, and together they finally move the needle where other traditional stacks can’t. The problem isn’t that BPC -157 or TB500 don’t work. They’re just not built for low-vascular tissues. Intervertebral discs and cartilage get almost no direct blood flow, so peptides that rely on circulation never really reach them. SS-31 is different. It targets the mitochondria directly, improving energy production even in stressed or poorly perfused tissue. That means actual cellular repair where circulation is limited. KPV complements that by reducing chronic inflammation, especially the silent, systemic kind that keeps discs and joints from healing no matter what else you throw at them. Together, they create a better internal environment: SS-31 restores the energy to rebuild, KPV quiets the immune overactivity that blocks the process. I’ve seen this combo help people who plateaued on BPC + TB. Not a quick fix, but over a few weeks you start to feel that deep “back online” sensation; less stiffness, more resilience, less of that low-level pain that never fully clears. If you’ve been stuck with a lingering disc or cartilage injury, this stack is worth looking into. Flare up after long hours at the desk during busy season? Sometimes healing isn’t about adding more, it’s about picking the right path to reach what’s been out of reach.

GLP-1s, especially retatrutide, aren’t just for those with diabetes or obesity. They’re longevity tools. They offer real neuroprotection, improved memory, and sharper focus for healthy people too. In a world where brain fog, neurodegeneration, and burnout are everywhere, GLP-1s may be one of the most powerful tools we have to stay sharp for the long haul. We’re just scratching the surface.

Three years ago, BPC-157 changed my life. I had chronic shoulder pain from poor bench form—heavy resistance training with the wrong elbow angle. I could still train with lighter weights, but anything under 8 reps was out of the question. I didn’t want to take time off and lose muscle mass. At 42, I’m focused on longevity—and maintaining strength as we age is non-negotiable. I decided to try an 8-week cycle of BPC-157 (20mg total). By week 2, the pain was completely gone. And it never came back. That alone would be impressive—but what really changed everything was this: BPC didn’t just heal my shoulder. It opened my eyes to the potential of regenerative peptides. Since then I’ve used compounds that support fat loss, muscle growth, mental clarity, energy, recovery, and more. I feel stronger, leaner, and sharper in my 40s than I did in my 30s. Peptides are the future of human optimization. And it all started with BPC-157. Have you tried peptides and what has been your experience? Follow me to learn more.

Tesamorelin + Retatrutide is a cheat code for reducing visceral fat. The Reta kicks your fat burning into high gear and Tesamorelin helps it chew throw the visceral fat. I reduced my android/gynoid (waist/hip) ratio from 1.25 to 1.0 and cut my belly fat percentage by 10 points (vs -5 points total) in 8 weeks.

Before and after I found peptides (and hard work and discipline). I’m a hardworking, present dad of 2 young boys. I strength train 2x/wk. My #1 goal is to lead a long, fruitful life with them. Getting shredded is an added bonus. Come along with me in my journey.

After 6–8 weeks of consistent training, your body’s response to growth hormone peptides (like CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin) changes a lot. Resistance training actually increases GH receptor density in muscle, so the same dose hits harder over time. Your muscles become more sensitive to growth signals the longer you stay consistent. That’s why peptides seem to work better for people who already train regularly than for sedentary researchers. The workouts themselves set the stage, making peptides more effective without raising the dose. It’s also a big variable in protocol design, because a 300mcg Ipamorelin shot hits very different for someone lifting 4x a week for two months versus someone who just got started.

SS-31 is my secret weapon against afternoon crashes. By binding to cardiolipin in your mitochondria, it optimizes your cellular power plants. Less oxidative stress, more sustained mental performance when it counts.

BPC-157 gets labeled as a tissue repair peptide. That's accurate but incomplete. After 6 weeks of consistent use, the most noticeable change wasn't physical recovery. It was stress resilience. High-pressure days that used to leave me mentally exhausted became manageable. The constant low-grade anxiety that comes with running a business diminished noticeably. The mechanism makes sense: BPC-157 modulates the gut-brain axis and influences neurotransmitter signaling. Your gut produces most of your serotonin, and chronic stress disrupts that production. For founders dealing with sustained cognitive load, this matters more than faster tendon healing.

Exactly this. I dose Reta low enough where it doesn’t crush my appetite, doesn’t even really impact the quantity. Just quiets the food noise. And the real magic via improved metabolic health I can’t feel. Just shreds fat (and spares muscle) in the background. “Minimum effective dose”

GHK-Cu improved my joint comfort during high-volume training in ways BPC-157 never did. Wasn't the tissue repair I expected. The mechanism makes sense: GHK-Cu stimulates hyaluronic acid production in synovial fluid, the lubricant that cushions joints during movement. More viscous synovial fluid means less friction and better shock absorption between loading cycles. Most GHK-Cu discussions focus on skin and hair regeneration. The joint lubrication benefits have been the real performance multiplier during intense training blocks where volume stays high despite accumulated fatigue.

Retatrutide isn’t just for weight loss. For people with a busy, demanding work schedule, it can improve metabolic flexibility, reduce brain fog, and stabilize energy so you stay sharp through long hours, tight deadlines, and skipped meals. Fat loss is also a massive bonus. I lost 14#+ of fat and gained 0.3# of lean mass over 8 weeks using Reta, MOTS-c, Tesamorelin and GHK-Cu. Cycling to CJC1295 (no DAC) and Ipamorelin now.

The most underrated peptide combination for entrepreneurs? BPC-157 and SS-31. One optimizes recovery and stress resilience, the other enhances energy production efficiency. Together, they address the complete performance cycle.

Another great reason to break Reta doses up into more than once a week. I do every other day. My results have been fantastic and no real side effects.

“You’ll gain all the weight back if you stop” they say. After losing 20+ lbs on my Shred Stack (retatrutide, tesamorelin and MOTS-c),I cycled down to just 0.25mg of Retatrutide once every 10 days and have lost 2 more pounds.

5-Amino-1MQ blocks the enzyme that slows metabolism as we age. I stack it with NAD+ and MOTS-c, and the result is sharp focus and clean energy at the office all day. The steady fat burning in the background feels like an added bonus.

I want to hear success/failure stories of post-Retatrutide life. Have you gotten off completely? Low weekly dose for maintenance? Substitute like Cagri? Wife is off now for 1.5 weeks but feels very hungry. I felt normal after a week off.

Dosing Ipamorelin before 10am wastes half its growth hormone release potential. Cortisol's natural morning spike (highest between 6-9am) directly antagonizes growth hormone secretion. Your stress hormone literally blocks the peptide signal you're trying to activate. Evening dosing before (8-10pm) bed aligns with your body's natural GH pulse timing. Lower cortisol, higher receptor sensitivity, stronger IGF-1 response. Same peptide, better research outcomes just by timing it right.

Losing weight with Retatrutide? GHK-Cu keeps you from looking “deflated.” Boosts collagen, improves skin elasticity, speeds wound repair. When the fat drops, the skin keeps up.

Feedback from a client. I’ve found at lower doses (1mg), MOTS-c works in the background, improving metabolic function and enhancing fat burning. At 2mg+, I can really “feel it.”

That afternoon slump at the office isn't inevitable. My MOTS-c clients (and myself) report sustained energy without the crash, supporting metabolic flexibility that keeps your brain running efficiently through long workdays.

Don’t waste the quiet GLP-1s like retatrutide create. I didn’t. When Reta killed my cravings, I used it to break my worst weekend habit of weed to wind down and the accompanying munchies that caused shit sleep and weight gain. Been off Reta for a while, still clean on routine.
