Certified peptides

**Bitcoin for Peptides**

**Do you wonder why you can’t use your credit card to buy peptides from China?**

Why you can’t use PayPal, CashApp, etc?

The seller wants Bitcoin because with other ways of spending money, you can call up the bank and reverse the transaction and the seller cannot do anything to stop you. You can do this even after you have received the peptides. The seller uses Bitcoin because once you’ve transferred it to them, there is no reversing the transaction unless they agree.

You need to use Bitcoin because if your government or your bank knew what you were buying, they would not permit you to spend the money.

Bitcoin provides final settlement and a way to transfer value without needing the approval from anyone else.

**Why can’t I buy Bitcoin and send it immediately?**

When you buy Bitcoin on an exchange like Coinbase with money sitting in an external checking account, if they were to let you transfer the funds immediately, you could call your bank and cancel the transfer. You’d get the Bitcoin, because that transaction cannot be reversed, but Coinbase would not get the USD. So instead they require that you wait until the ACH transaction settles before the Bitcoin is officially yours to send.

**How can I buy Bitcoin and send it immediately?**

One solution would be to put money on your exchange 3-5 days before you intend to buy the Bitcoin. Keep enough money there so that you can buy what you need with “settled” money. You will then be able to send it immediately.

**Why is Bitcoin better than stable coins (USDC)?**

This is my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt.

Sending Bitcoin requires you pay a fee just like with USDC, but you do not need a separate coin (ETH, SOL) to make the transfer. Bitcoin is what you spend for “gas” so you just need Bitcoin and you are ready to spend.

**How can I buy peptides with more privacy?**

Learn about Bitcoin wallets. Buy more Bitcoin than you need for this purchase, and transfer it to a mobile wallet. You can then spend from your mobile wallet without involving anyone else.

**Isn’t Bitcoin volatile?**

It can be, but long-term Bitcoin appreciation far exceeds stocks, bonds, real estate.

**Summary**

Bitcoin is a single asset you can hold on your phone and spend without involving a middleman.

I copied this from a telegram group.

I don’t think I should mention who posted it or the name of the group, but I wanted a permanent record of this information so I’m making it a note:

🧬 Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4)

📄 CAS Number: 77591-33-4

⚖️ Molecular Weight: 4963.55 Da

🧪 Amino Acid Sequence:

SDKPDMAEXEKFDKSKLKKTETQEKNPLPSKEXXEQEKQAGES

Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4) is a 43-amino acid peptide naturally found in a variety of tissues. Much of TB4's biological activity comes from its ability to sequester actin and regulate its polymerization, which plays a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. The complete sequence is important for wound healing, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects.

⏳ Half-life:

🕒 Very short — estimated to be minutes to ~2 hours in vivo due to rapid degradation.

✅ Key Benefits of TB4:

🩹 Promotes tissue and wound healing

🩸 Stimulates angiogenesis

⚙️ Regulates actin polymerization

🔥 Reduces inflammation

🧠 Provides neuroprotection

💪 Speeds up muscle recovery

🛡️ Supports immune modulation

🧫 Protects tissues under stress conditions

💉 TB-500 (TB4 Fragment 17–23, Acetylated)

📄 CAS Number: 885340-08-9

⚖️ Molecular Weight: 889 Da

🧪 Amino Acid Sequence: ac-LKKTETQ

TB-500 is a synthetic fragment corresponding to amino acids 17–23 of the TB4 sequence. It is chemically identical to Fequesetide, with the addition of an acetyl group, which enhances stability and prolongs its duration of action.

⏳ Half-life:

🕒 ~2–3 days after subcutaneous injection (thanks to acetylation and improved resistance to degradation).

✅ Key Benefits of TB-500:

💪 Enhances musculoskeletal repair

🔥 Reduces inflammation

⏱️ Speeds up injury recovery

🧵 Promotes tissue regeneration

🚀 Boosts cell migration

🧊 Provides longer-lasting effects

🧬 Fequesetide (TB4 Fragment 17–23, Non-Acetylated)

📄 CAS Number: 476014-70-7

⚖️ Molecular Weight: 846.97 Da

🧪 Amino Acid Sequence: LKKTETQ

Fequesetide is the non-acetylated version of TB-500. Though it shares the same amino acid sequence, its lack of acetylation makes it significantly less stable, and thus it’s mainly used in in vitro or research-focused settings.

⏳ Half-life:

🕒 Minutes to <1 hour, very short due to rapid enzymatic degradation.

✅ Key Benefits of Fequesetide:

🩸 Stimulates angiogenesis

❤️ Enhances blood flow

🔬 Supports vascular-focused research

📉 Low stability limits broader applications

SDKP is a naturally occurring bioactive tetrapeptide derived from TB4, known for its cardiovascular protective and anti-fibrotic properties. It plays a key role in controlling fibrosis, inflammation, and organ remodeling.

⏳ Half-life:

🕒 Very short, around 4–6 minutes in plasma — yet bioactive at very low concentrations.

✅ Key Benefits of SDKP:

❤️ Provides cardioprotection

🫁 Reduces fibrosis in organs (heart, lungs, kidneys)

🧵 Limits collagen accumulation

🔥 Powerful anti-inflammatory effects

🛡️ Reduces monocyte infiltration

🧠 Offers neuroprotection

🔧 Supports cardiovascular repair

I subbed out #motsc for #5amino1mq

I’d run #motsc at 2mg daily for 15 days (or so) and I’ll give 5mg 5amino a shot for a couple weeks.

If 5amino isn’t amazing, I’ll go back to motsc. I think it was giving me a little boost (but maybe it was the placebo effect).

I’m really liking #epitalon

I take 10mg subc around 30-60 minutes before bed. I have very good sleep and I remember dreams when I wake up.

I’m at the very tail end of my 20-day cycle. I’ll be sad to see this one go.

I’ll bring it back in 70 - 100 days for a 3 - 4 times per year plan.

1.6mg of #GHKCu has given me a headache. I guess I’m low on zinc.

I’ll take a day or two off from copper & see if the headache clears up.

Maybe I was sweating more during my workout. Let’s see if it keeps up tomorrow as well.

I’ve taken around 10 doses of MOTS-C & never felt anything.

But today was the first day I thought maybe I felt a little boost. A “wind at your back” kind of feeling. I blasted through my pushups (one extra without noticing) and the brisk walk felt easier.

It could be doing this routine daily is starting to pay dividends, or maybe the MOTS-C just takes a few doses to stack up before effects can be felt.

I’ve already bought more MOTS-C from a different vendor, to check whether this boost I feel is placebo or not.

I’ll keep you posted.

Nice. I’ve taken around 10 doses so far. I could be convinced that I’m remembering more dreams, but I’m not positive.

I’ve never had trouble sleeping.

Because I am on the fence with the effectiveness, I decided to buy a little from a different source. That batch should arrive next week.

I’ll post a note about my findings.

I’ve concluded that #slupp332 pills are ineffective. Zero bioavailability.

I bought some injectable, but learned the hard way what #hydrophobic means.

I’m going to get some #dmso for the next time I try #sloop

I’m going to change the above.

Differences:

- 2 mg #motsc daily

- 1 mg #bpc157 daily

- 5 mg #tb500 2x weekly

I’m still doing alternate days of #ss31 unless the #motsc slump really gets to me

1 mg #retatrutide / week

5 mg #epitalon / day (20 on, 100 off)

2 mg #motsc alternating days

5 mg #ss31 with MOTS-C

500 mcg #bpc157 / day

5 mg #tb500 / weekly

Do you stack?

3mg of MOTS-C

No slump & honestly didn’t feel any energy boost either.

Post-walk workout felt the same as the pre-walk. It wasn’t “easy mode.”

I’ll go again on Thursday & see how it goes.

I’m combining w 5mg of SS-31, so maybe one balances the other. What do I know? It’s all an experiment, right?

I needed a way to track future peptides, so I wrote (some vibe coding, some actual coding) a quick python app.

You can specify daily doses, weekly, days/weeks on/off, monthly, quarterly. This will track history & upcoming doses.

It’s a work in progress. Feel free to ping me here with requests.

“Know Your Doses”

- Jeffrey Goines, 1995, Twelve Monkeys

I reconstituted some Epitalon & took my first 10mg last night.

Nothing noticeable. Could I have had more dreams? Dunno, maybe.

My plan is 10mg for 20 days straight. If I like it, I’ll restart after a 71 day gap. (4 cycles would be most of a year.)

I’ve refined my subcutaneous technique.

I started out:

- taking everything out of the fridge

- swapping alcohol on one & my skin

- drawing a syringe

- injecting myself

- repeating

But I’ve started:

- pulling one or two vials out of the fridge

- swabbing both

- drawing two syringes

- putting back in wrapper

- put all back in fridge

- repeat until tomorrow doses are done

- wake up

- pull out prepared syringes

- swab & inject (different sites)

Then after my morning workout I create tomorrow’s syringes as above.

I think it works better this way.

YMMV

I’ve started SS-31, 5mg daily subq.

Three days so far. I feel the same but I’m generally healthy, so maybe that’s to be expected. Im also on a few other peptides, so maybe any effects are going yo be lost in the noise.

If nothing else, take this as testimony of no noticeable side effects. Hopefully my mitochondria feel the same way.

Did I set it up correctly?

Once I’d found the peptide rabbit hole, I decided to try SLU-PP-332.

I started w 259 mcg capsules before my morning walk (fasted state).

I didn’t notice anything, and I experimented with 500, 750 & 1000 mcg. IDK if it’s doing anything.

The walk is dang cold (see your breath cold) so I bundle up (fleece sweat pants, jacket, gloves, hat) and I do come home with a bit of a sweat, but IDK if it’s the sloop or all the layers I’m wearing.

I found a place to buy it as an injection. I’ve shot 500 mcg a couple of times. I don’t feel any difference compared to pills.

Today, however I felt something that could be the sloop.

I took 500 mcg subq, did my walk, had my slight glisten of sweat. Same as any other day. Then a few hours later I took 500 mcg more orally. I felt a slight buzz or tingle, like energy or excitement. It was pleasant, but subtle. Maybe that was the sloop.

More experimentation seems warranted.
