Curious to hear what everyone else is doing! What have you been using that you feel has helped with strength, endurance, recovery, or getting more toned/defined? Here’s what I’ve been using lately: • RT — about 6 months • CJC/IPA — about 2 months (An ultimate blessing to be able to sleep!!) • MOTS-C — about 2 months, after 6 weeks of SS-31 • 5-Amino-1MQ — about 2 weeks • BPC-157 — about 2 weeks - for my knees pain as they hurt only when I do leg press • NAD+ & B12 — about 5 months Recently, I’ve noticed that I’m lifting heavier, which got me wondering what everyone else is experiencing. I posted my workout stats here: 💪 Are you noticing more strength or heavier lifts? 🏃 Better endurance or cardio performance? 🔥 Better body composition or definition? ⚡ More energy during workouts? 🛠️ Faster recovery between workouts? What are you using, and what difference have you actually noticed? I’d love to hear everyone’s experiences — especially what you feel has made the biggest difference in your workouts. 👇

6 Compounds That Support Mitochondrial Health & Energy Your mitochondria are the energy-producing structures inside your cells. They convert nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that powers muscle contractions, cellular repair, brain function, and many other processes. As we age, mitochondrial function can decline. Oxidative damage, impaired mitochondrial quality control, changes in energy metabolism, and reduced efficiency of the electron transport chain can all contribute. Mitochondria are the body's cellular powerhouses, producing ATP—the energy needed for muscle performance, brain function, and cellular repair. These compounds support different aspects of mitochondrial health. NAD+ Supports electron transfer, ATP production, and cellular repair signaling. Supports energy metabolism and cellular maintenance. SS-31 Interacts with cardiolipin to stabilize mitochondrial inner membranes. May improve energy efficiency and reduce oxidative injury in certain diseases. Glutathione Neutralizes harmful oxidants and protects mitochondrial components. Helps reduce oxidative stress and preserve cellular function. Urolithin A Stimulates mitophagy—the recycling of damaged mitochondria. Supports mitochondrial quality control and may improve muscle endurance. MOTS-C Influences AMPK-related pathways that regulate cellular energy and metabolism. May support metabolic flexibility and exercise adaptation. L-Carnitine Transports fatty acids into mitochondria for conversion into energy. Supports fat metabolism and ATP production. 5 Amino 1 MQ Inhibits NNMT, potentially preserving NAD+ availability. - Reduced fat synthesis in cultured adipocytes. - Reduced body weight and white adipose tissue in obese mice treated with 5-Amino-1MQ. - Increased intracellular NAD+ in cultured fat cells at certain concentrations.

MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH & LONGEVITY Did you know your mitochondria are the tiny powerhouses responsible for producing the energy your body needs to function, recover, and thrive? As we age, mitochondrial efficiency can decline, potentially affecting our energy, metabolism, muscle performance, and overall cellular health. Inspired by Dr. Ashley Froese's article, "My Easy, 4-Phase Mitochondrial Reset Protocol," here's a simplified guide to supporting healthier mitochondria! 🔹 PHASE 1: STOP THE SABOTAGE 🛑 Protect your cellular energy factories! Chronic stress, excessive alcohol, poor nutrition, and overconsumption of sugar and calories can contribute to oxidative stress and metabolic dysfunction. ✅ Reduce processed foods and excessive sugar ✅ Eat more antioxidant-rich berries ✅ Incorporate omega-3-rich foods ✅ Manage stress through breathing exercises ✅ Prioritize quality sleep and recovery GOAL: Reduce unnecessary stress on your mitochondria. 🔹 PHASE 2: TAKE OUT THE TRASH ♻️ MITOPHAGY — Your Cellular Cleanup Crew! Your body has a natural process called mitophagy that helps identify and remove damaged mitochondria, supporting cellular quality control. Ways to support mitochondrial health: 🏋️ Regular exercise 🔥 Sauna sessions, when appropriate ❄️ Cold exposure, if safely tolerated 🌿 Urolithin A — an emerging compound being studied for mitochondrial health GOAL: Support your body's natural mitochondrial maintenance and recycling processes. 🔹 PHASE 3: BUILD NEW POWERHOUSES ⚡ MITOCHONDRIAL BIOGENESIS — Create More Energy-Producing Capacity! Mitochondrial biogenesis is the process through which your cells produce new mitochondria. Potential supporting strategies include: 💪 Resistance training and aerobic exercise 🚶 Consistent physical activity ⏳ Appropriate periods of fasting, when medically suitable 🧬 MOTS-C — an experimental mitochondrial-derived peptide being investigated for metabolic signaling and exercise adaptation GOAL: Encourage healthier mitochondrial adaptation and energy metabolism.

Good news!! New CoA's available for our new batches of RT30 and Semax 10 ordered on September 14 and arrived in recent weeks. We have a few more pending .... CoA's library: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1w1pzQ1fKq4062BoISJvP_D7Q_oYfd4mG?usp=share_link

I just received my first order, and I’m extremely impressed. The communication was excellent, and the entire experience was completely different from what I had dealt with before. Candy, I truly appreciate your honesty, professionalism, and integrity. Thank you! I recently paid for some peptides, and it was honestly the worst experience ever. The prices seemed reasonable, but then I received an email from the “shipping company” saying I had to pay a $200 refundable Bitcoin deposit to receive my package. The peptides cost less the shipping cost. The seller told me the peptides were considered “contraband” and claimed that if I didn’t pay the insurance, the police would come to my home. 🚩 I told the “shipping company” to keep the peptides and my money. To me, the whole situation felt like extortion. I made that very clear when they tried to argue with me. Never heard from them again. The only thing I can say is: PLEASE be careful out there. There are a lot of scammers taking advantage of people. On a much more positive note, I’m very excited to be a member of this group! ❤️
