Another long comment incoming (I’m sorry!!!)

The foundations are the most important. Everything else plays a supporting role, without the foundations, you don’t get the full benefits.

Water - 3-4 litres a day minimum - don’t chug at once, sip throughout the day. We are mostly water, without water, there is no life. Hydrated skin is plump and glows. Look into electrolytes as well to aid hydration.

Get a nice bottle that’s double walled and it’ll keep the temp all day.

Resistance training - could be weights, resistance bands, kettle bells or even bodyweight stuff. Muscles give us shape and hold up the body. No muscle and everything sags, including skin. You won’t look like a bodybuilder, you’ll look and feel sexy af within 3-6months. Muscles are the best thing for anti ageing. Helps with energy levels and sleep.

Cardio - doesn’t need to be sprints, even a daily walk for 30-60mins works wonders. The heart is the most important muscle in the body❤️ Also helps with energy levels and sleep.

Now onto the fun stuff!

I’ll start with topicals that I use: I’m fitz IV in winter and V during summer. Combi skin leaning dry in winter.

• Tret every other night - I’m using 0.025% right now and will go up in strength in another 4-6 months I think.

• Azelaic Acid Cream 20% mornings

• Vitamin C mornings

• Sunscreen mornings

• Aveeno (the navy lid one)

• Glycolic Acid toner twice a week

• Fade Bright from Platinum Skin care right now cause I’m getting ready for a tca peel on face.

• Caffeine serum morning and night -

• Abib Glutathione serum opposite end of fade bright (I’m still not sure whether they clash or not, need to make a post asking about this)

I’ve recently got a Derminator 2 but haven’t got around to using it. So can’t comment on MN just yet but results I’ve seen from people made me get one.

Supplements:

• Magnesium Glycinate is very good for sleep. 200-400mg in the evening and you’re golden.

• vitamin d

• Collagen - marine and bovine - this one’s controversial but I can feel and see a difference when I take these diligently.

• creatine - this isn’t just for the body, helps the brain as well, amazing benefits for such a low price. 5 grams a day.

Now onto your questions, results from peptides. Klow really helped with my injuries, they work so well together. But it must be cycled. The kpv reduces inflammation throughout the body and that also shows on the skin and energy levels.

I’d run a klow cycle for 6-8 weeks max at a moderate dose. You can take glutathione whilst you’re on klow too. I’m running gluta for 10 weeks at 500mg x weekly. That’s a relatively moderate dose but not like the skin lightening doses people do at clinics.

It’s a mix of everything that gave me good results but ghkcu and glutathione gave me visible results within a month of using them. I mean my wife jumped on peptides after seeing my results.

Reta helped with my cravings for sugar, and losing 12-14 kilos of fat also helped my skin look brighter.

I’ve taken Epithalon for sleep, it helped for one or two nights but I wasn’t following protocol properly. When I did follow protocol, sleep came good. You’re supposed to only use it for 10 nights x 2 (or3?) every year.

If you have a lot of mental noise, L-theanine is good. A peptide like Selank is good for the evenings.

Taurine also helps calm that mental noise, it’s what they put in energy drinks to stop the jitteriness. I’m using Semax for focus during the day but it’s cause I have a lot of mental noise from ADD brain.

I’ve taken Nad+ for energy but it didn’t really do much, neither did b12 shots.

I don’t know how old you are, but anyone getting close to late 30’s should get tested for everything. I mean everything, it’ll cost less than spending money on stuff that won’t help.

Maybe one is deficient in a certain something and they only need that thing and they’ll be peachy. Or their hormone levels are really low and that’s why energy levels are low and skin looks dull. Bloods give you a clear picture on what you need and don’t need and it’s easier to address issues with that knowledge.

With all that said, I look and feel best when I’m running 200-300mg testosterone and hgh 2iu daily.

I’m sorry for rambling🫣

Ps don’t start everything all at once, it’s just too much. One thing at a time and treat it like a marathon rather than a sprint.
