Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
Yes.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
I've used Cmax and Selank, yeah.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
That, those, those two, yeah.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
So, um, I found they, they make me feel quite cheery, quite happy.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
That's the best way I can describe it.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
Well, it's not very scientific, but I do, I do, I do enjoy taking those.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
But, um, I found with the Desip, the Cmax and Selank, so the more neuro-based kind of peptides, I guess you could say, I find they work like half the time, which makes it a bit of a h- weird kind of thing to like take as a regular, you know? So I, I, I tend to use those more of as like a, a few times a week I might use a bit of one or the other sort of thing.
Jonathan GriffithsGUEST
Yeah, those-
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
But letting them know, right, this is not, you don't just take this.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
We're not just taking Selank as, you know, as the answer to your anxiety problem.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
We have to get down to what is the real issue because, as you know, that could be coming from a strep infection or a staph infection in their brain or, you know, copper toxicity or mold illness.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
I mean, there's...
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
I may have to use a peptide as a quick, short help and, and in that process teaching them.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
You know, 12 years ago, I never had to tell them, "I'm giving you a peptide." Nobody cared.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
They don't care if it's GABA, ashwagandha, or Selank, or BPC.
Stephanie RimkaGUEST
They don't care.
Jeff GrossGUEST
Then we go into, uh, you know, other things like, uh, brain, uh, health.
Jeff GrossGUEST
Like we have Selank and Semax-
Natalie TysdalHOST
Mm
Jeff GrossGUEST
... uh, for mood and for brain health.
Jeff GrossGUEST
For cognitive ability, we like Semax.
Jeff GrossGUEST
For mood stabilization, uh, we like Selank.
Jeff GrossGUEST
Uh, those have been very helpful.
Jeff GrossGUEST
We have some anti-aging peptides that we use.
SteveHOST
So if it's, uh, if it's last week, you got three more weeks to go and then you can bump up the dose.
SteveHOST
And your thoughts on nasal peptides, Semax, Selank, uh, delta sleep inducing peptide, how does bioavailability compare to subcutaneous? Uh, do you need more, uh, if using nasal spray comparatively? No, you actually need to use less because if you use Semax and Selank, like I mentioned in the deep dives, if you take it up the nose, just like blow, uh, cocaine that is [laughs] if you're not in the know, now you're in the know, uh, it goes straight into the brain where it acts-- where it's active.
SteveHOST
Whereas if you go subq, like the bioavailability is, uh, pretty much the same, right? Maybe, uh, intranasally is a little bit less, uh, because it still needs to be absorbed and you could, um, you know, basically, uh, swallow a little bit into, uh, you know, your, your, your throat and then, then you lose, uh, obviously, uh, the potency because it gets broken down in the intestinal tract because you swallow it.
SteveHOST
So let's say the bioavailability is 70% up the nose, but 70% of the dose goes into the brain.
SteveHOST
And subcutaneously lasts longer because the subcutaneous depot, um, takes some time to absorb and, and kind of metabolize and, and diffuse through the body.
SteveHOST
So Semax intranasally, boom, within three minutes you feel it.
SteveHOST
Same as Selank.
SteveHOST
Uh, delta sleep inducing peptide I don't really get much.
Amanda KahnGUEST
I just needed my glutathione and my, oh, there are a lot of nasal sprays.
Amanda KahnGUEST
I like to for cognition, Salank, C-Max.
Amanda KahnGUEST
Those are both good for mood, attention, focus.
Amanda KahnGUEST
DSIP is a deep sleep.
Will ColeGUEST
Um, so there's, those have been a big one for me.
Will ColeGUEST
Uh, Selank and Semax, I've seen great clinically for telehealth patients.
Will ColeGUEST
I personally haven't used that from a neuroplasticity, uh, brain health, mood standpoint.
Will ColeGUEST
Epitalon, I like the research around.
Brad LeaHOST
How long does it generally take to kick in where you can s- totally feel a difference?
Shahin AmirpourGUEST
It, it all depends on what peptide it is, like, and what your goal is, which one you're trying to use for what reason, right? Like, brain peptides, you know, Selank, instant m- you know, anxiety, focus, mood, you know, helps with that.
Brad LeaHOST
Selank?
Shahin AmirpourGUEST
Yeah.
Brad LeaHOST
See, I wanna get some Selank and see if I can all of a sudden just get focused.
Shahin AmirpourGUEST
Uh, Dihexa, brain supercharger.
Shahin AmirpourGUEST
That's-
Mike BelkowskiHOST
So the proposed benefits of Solunc are anxiety and stress reduction.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
Where in human studies using intranasal Selank, they have reported significant anxiolytic effects, including comparisons with benzodiazepine class medications.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
In one study of generalized anxiety disorder and neuroasthenia, Selank produced anxiolytic effects comparable to midazepam while also showing anti-asthenic and mild psychostimulant effects.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
Another proposed benefit of Selank is that it can provide a calm without heavy sedation.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
So Selank is particularly interesting because its anxiolytic profile has been reported without the degree of sedation, cognitive dulling, or psychomotor impairment associated with conventional tranquilizers.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
Then we have calm focus and mental performance, where clinical research has described mild nootropic effects alongside reduced anxiety, making Selank better suited to provide a calm yet alert positioning rather than purely sedating or a sleep-oriented peptide.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
Then we have GABAergic regulation.
Mike BelkowskiHOST
Mechanistic research suggests Selank can modulate GABA-related signaling and may influence GABA A receptor-associated pathways, which provides a plausible biological basis for its anxiolytic effects.
Mike CormierHOST
Different strokes for different folks, and everyone needs their own individual plan.
Mike CormierHOST
Um, NAD is a new one for me this year, so I haven't, um, been taking NAD as long as I've been taking BPC-157 and the Selank and the, um, Cmax.
Joy KongGUEST
Cmax.
Mike CormierHOST
But NAD is new to me this year.
Ryan SmithGUEST
Um, in the world of peptides, you don't often see 15-year follow-up studies, but he definitely has some of those completed.
Ryan SmithGUEST
Um, and so, uh, you know, it's, uh, Russia's been a hotbed for a lot of the products, uh, Semax and Selank as well.
Ryan SmithGUEST
Um, so uh, Russia's been great, but the United States is, is quickly catching up with a lot of new developments.
Ben PakulskiHOST
Super interesting.

Ben PakulskiHOST
Is there anything else in the area of brain optimization that comes to mind that we haven't talked about?
Ryan SmithGUEST
Yeah, there's a, a couple.
Ryan SmithGUEST
You know, the, the two I would say that are, are also very, very common for us are the Selank and the Semax.
Ben PakulskiHOST
Right.
