Ever bought peptides and wondered if your vial actually matches the lab report the vendor showed you? Yeah, me too. That's why I built BatchGuild. A marketplace for VERIFIED lab test results, scraped directly from testing labs. No photoshop, no fake PDFs. 🧵

After multiple months of running Peloton and a weight training program my HRV is the highest it’s ever been. No peptides outside a GLP1 have contributed

Peptides shouldn't be expensive. BPC-157 costs pennies to make. A 10 mg vial costs under $15 to produce. But companies charge $100–300. People are getting ripped off.

@hamandcheese Reta and increased energy is a common theme. I find it’s almost as if your body’s metabolism is back to its 18 year old self

I'm on week 4 of retatrutide and already down 12.4 lbs. More interestingly: - I seem to have much more energy and focus - I find myself spontaneously preferring standing desks, walking rather than ubering, opting into exercise etc. - My blood sugar no longer crashes after eating - I don't drink nearly as much but when I do my hangovers seem a lot weaker - My food preferences spontaneously shifted in favor of fish, salads and fresh fruit - My GI health improved a lot, I think mostly thanks to it being easier to resist trigger foods I've had no negative symptoms or downsides, and am still on a low starter dose (~2.5mg)

Just spent over an hour with my clinical team debating which growth hormone peptide protocol to run. Still torn. Wanted to share the thinking and get your take. The goal: Increase GH and IGF-1 to support anabolism, recovery, and sleep, but also test a specific stacking hypothesis. Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP agonist) can elevate resting heart rate, disrupt sleep, and suppress appetite aggressively. CJC-1295 (GHRH analog) can worsen insulin resistance. The bet is that combining them cancels each other's downsides: CJC-1295's slow-wave sleep enhancement offsets tirzepatide's sleep disruption, while tirzepatide's insulin-sensitizing effects counteract CJC-1295's insulin resistance. Best of both worlds — or at least, that's the hypothesis we're testing. The two candidates: CJC-1295 with DAC: the long acting version. One injection per week, stays active for 6–8 days. This is what was used in the actual clinical trials. Raises GH 2–10x and IGF-1 1.5–3x from a single dose. Preserves GH pulsatility even under continuous stimulation. The tradeoff: if you get side effects, you're committed for a week. Harder to titrate. CJC-1295 without DAC + ipamorelin: the short-acting version paired with a selective ghrelin receptor agonist. Daily injections, pre-bed, clears in 30 minutes. Ipamorelin adds a second axis of GH release, pulse frequency via the ghrelin pathway, on top of the amplitude boost from CJC. No cortisol or prolactin elevation. This is what most clinicians prescribe and most of the peptide community uses. The tradeoff: less clinical trial data, daily injections, more anecdotal evidence base. What we're considering: Start with DAC at half dose 2.4 mg, then if well tolerated escalate 4.8 mg, weekly injection. If side effects aren't tolerable, switch to no-DAC + ipamorelin (100 mcg then 200-300 mcg daily, before bedtime). Or, Run both head to head. 2 weeks DAC, 2 weeks no-DAC + ipamorelin and compare. Tracking: GH, IGF-1, Cortisol, CGM, real time core body temperature, RHR, overnight HRV (rMSSD), IGF-1, HOMA-IR, sleep architecture, subjective recovery. The purist in us says stick with DAC; that's where the published data lives. Yet the pragmatist says no-DAC + ipamorelin is what thousands of people actually use, and testing it generates more socially relevant data.

@rorynotsorry I hope it decreases it. GLP1 to Tren pipeline remains undefeated

My take on what the FDA decision will do to the illicit gray market... neutral or grow it.

Later this year, I hope to be launching a topical peptide skincare / cosmetics line, that I am extremely excited about.

Today, we took long-overdue action to restore science, accountability, and the rule of law. In September 2023, the Biden FDA pushed a number of peptides into Category 2 — “Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks” — driving a dangerous black market that puts Americans at risk. Now, after nominators withdrew 12 peptides, the FDA will remove them from Category 2 and will bring them to PCAC at its next two meetings, beginning in July—where independent experts will rigorously evaluate each substance on its scientific merits using full clinical, pharmacological, and safety evidence. • BPC-157 • Thymosin beta-4 fragment (LKKTETQ) • Epitalon • GHK-Cu (injectable) • MOTS-c • DSIP (Emideltide) • Dihexa Acetate • Ibutamoren Mesylate • Melanotan II • KPV • Semax (heptapeptide) • Cathelicidin LL-37 This action begins to restore regulated access and will immediately begin shifting demand away from the black market. We will follow the science, enforce the law, and deliver the clarity patients, providers, and pharmacies deserve.

@Lynchy_LFC @rorynotsorry I would definitely advise the 20lbs overweight to get a Dexa scan first to compare their body fat % instead of relying on BMI which is for population levels. a skinny fat frame can be obese too

@rorynotsorry whats your view on people say 20lbs overweight? would you encourage them to take the skinny jab?

Anti-GLP1 Karens would rather you were 100lbs overweight instead of using GLP1s because there is a 4% chance of you having osteoporosis. Seems like it would be easier to just encourage people to get more calcium and Vitamin D. But what do I know...

@rorynotsorry I would argue Test should be worked on with a provider. It needs to be reasonably low until you go on TRT.

I am a peptide guy and I don't disagree with some of this. 1. Peptides are here to stay... but 2. Most peptides probably don't move the needle for most people. There are a lot of trendy peptides. GLP1s and possible a few others are exceptions. However, I have become a medical libertarian. AI and modern medicine have given regular people access to knowledge they didn't have before. Peptides are not killing people left at right. At worst they are pretty much neutral (no more harmful than anything else out there)... and our understanding of peptides is just beginning.
John Goldman ☀️@JohnGoldman

Prediction: “Peptides” will be a fad that fizzles for the masses. Most peptides move the needle from 98 to 99. America has proven it’s unwilling to do the work to go from 0 to 98. “Peptides don’t do anything” will the be the net result.

I’m wondering if any of you had a chance to get your peptides tested lately and ran into some radioactive shit dropping from those Chinese factories
