I started SS-31 yesterday at a low dose of only 500mcg, today I titrated up to 750mcg and I've been so thirsty all day. Has anyone else had this experience with SS-31?

If you listened to my recent podcast episode, you may remember I teased something big we had coming… and I’m so excited to finally share it with you. We’ve officially started running sterility and heavy metal testing on our products. Our GLP batches were first, and our results are in. As expected, everything came back exactly how we want it: clean, precise, and passing across the board. This will be gradually implemented over the next several months for all or our products! This is a huge step forward. From the beginning, our focus has always been on purity, identity, potency, and endotoxin testing, and now, adding sterility and heavy metal screening takes things to an entirely new level. Not because it’s required… but because it’s the standard we believe should exist. There’s a lot of noise out there right now around research peptides; questions about safety, quality, and trust. And honestly, some of that concern is valid depending on where people are sourcing from. Our goal is to help cut through that noise. By continuing to expand our testing standards, we’re creating a level of transparency and quality that allows you to feel confident, informed, and secure in what you’re choosing. We don’t aim to be like every other company in this space. We aim to raise the bar. To set a new standard. To only offer products that meet the highest level of quality we can possibly achieve. This is just the beginning of what’s coming. Thank you for being here, for asking questions, and for holding us to a higher standard, it’s exactly what pushes us to keep evolving.

Has anyone noticed a decrease in eye sight since starting a GLP1?

I personally love DSIP, but I do think it’s often misunderstood. DSIP is really geared toward improving deep, restorative sleep. This is the stage of sleep that typically happens in the first few hours after you fall asleep and, along with REM, is one of the most important phases. It’s when growth hormone is released and your body does the majority of its repair and recovery. What DSIP does not typically do well is help you stay asleep. This is where a lot of people say, “it didn’t do anything for me.” But the key here is, you really need to know how much deep sleep you’re actually getting to evaluate it properly. When I use DSIP, I track it with my Oura Ring, and for me, my deep sleep increased from about 45 minutes per night to around 1.5 hours. That’s a huge shift in recovery. The other big piece is dosing. Most recommended protocols start on the lower end, which is always the right place to begin. But in my experience, many people (myself included) need higher dosing to really see the benefits. This is one where you may need to experiment a bit to find your sweet spot. If you want to go deeper, I’ve attached a full breakdown for you. You can also find it under the Classroom tab along with all the other peptide spotlights. Happy reading, ladies!

I decided to dive into the current climate of the research peptide world in this episode. I’ve been getting a ton of questions surrounding this so I thought the timing was right ! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-wellness-longevity/id1754416156?i=1000758518370
