What it is: NAD+ stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It plays a major role in cellular energy production, mitochondrial function, and overall metabolic health. Why people talk about it so much: NAD+ is involved in helping your body convert nutrients into energy. It also supports processes tied to cell repair, brain function, and healthy aging. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, which is why so many people become interested in supporting it. Potential benefits often discussed: • Supports cellular energy • Helps with mitochondrial function • May support mental clarity and focus • May help with recovery and overall vitality • Plays a role in healthy aging pathways How it works: NAD+ is essential for many basic cell functions, especially those involving energy production. It also helps activate proteins called sirtuins, which are often associated with longevity, stress response, and cellular repair. Why people use it: A lot of people look into NAD+ for things like: • low energy • brain fog • recovery support • healthy aging support • overall metabolic wellness Typical research dosing protocols often discussed: • Dose: commonly 25–100mg per injection • Frequency: typically 1–3 times per week depending on goals • Cycle length: often 6–8 weeks, followed by a break before repeating Simple way to think about it: NAD+ helps support the body’s cellular battery system.

Tesamorelin is a growth hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, meaning it signals the body to release more of its own natural growth hormone. It’s most commonly known for its ability to help reduce visceral fat (deep abdominal fat), which is one of the reasons it has been studied and used clinically. Beyond that, many people research Tesamorelin for its potential benefits related to: • Fat metabolism and body composition • Preservation of lean muscle mass • Improved recovery and sleep quality • Metabolic health • Supporting natural growth hormone production Unlike directly injecting growth hormone, Tesamorelin works by stimulating your body’s own natural GH release, which is why some people prefer it as part of a growth hormone support protocol. It’s often paired with peptides like Ipamorelin, which can help amplify the natural growth hormone pulse. As always, dosing, frequency, and cycle lengths can vary depending on the protocol and individual goals. If you want to see example dosing and cycle information, I have it included in the reference guide inside the classroom. Educational purposes only — not medical advice.

This is one of the peptides people often start researching when they’re looking into gut health, healing, and inflammation support. BPC-157 stands for Body Protection Compound, and it’s commonly researched for things like: • gut health support • tissue repair • tendon & ligament healing • inflammation reduction • injury recovery One interesting thing about BPC-157 is that it’s available in multiple forms. It can be taken as an injection, but it’s also commonly found in oral liposomal form, which is actually how I started taking it. The liposomal version is often researched specifically for gut health, since it works through the digestive system and can be a great option for people who aren’t comfortable with injections. The injectable version is more commonly researched for targeted healing, like tendons, joints, or localized injuries. From my personal experience, when I started taking the liposomal version, my gut issues went away and inflammation that I didn’t even realize I had went way down. It was one of the things that really opened my eyes to how powerful some of these peptides can be. If you want dosing timelines and protocols, I organized that in the guide linked in the classroom. Curious if anyone here has looked into or tried BPC-157 yet?
