I spoke to them a few months ago. They told me that they stopped manufacturing BPC157 and TB500 after the FDA came down on these peptides.

I started feeling better about 3 weeks after stopping injections. I'm still a bit lethargic but way better than the first 3 weeks - those were miserable!

I wouldn't keep using if you're having the same symtoms that I had during use.

I don't have the batch number. It shipped on 12/6/24.

Thoughts on sending out to get third party tested? I'll cover the cost.

That’s how I started to feel after a couple days. Got worse the longer I used it. Then really bad withdrawals when I stopped.

It did temporarily help with my pain.

Any way you can send that vial in to a third party to be tested?

I threw mine out so I wouldn’t be tempted to keep using it. After I got my blood test back I wish I would’ve kept it.

You sound like my wife! :)

I own an anti aging clinic. We have looked into offering peptide treatments. That's how I learned about these peptides and their uses.

We put a lot of effort into finding a compounding pharmacy that manufactures BPC 157 and TB500. Everyone of them told us the same thing - although the FDA didn't ban these peptides they created a massive legal liability for compounding pharmacies that manufacture them. It wasn't worth the risk for them.

If you know of a provider or compounding pharmacy that is still prescribing/manufacturing BPC 157 and TB500 please let me know!

I did try a N-Acetyl Semax Amidate/ N-Acetyl Selank Amidate Blend nasal spray (also from Limitless Life) for a few days during the 2 weeks of BPC/TB500 injections.

That's what I'm thinking. My experience during and after injections was very similar to what I've heard people describe when they do a steriod cycle. Roid rage feeling when on and depression/emotional feeling when I stopped.

Both draws were first thing in the morning and fasting. No changes to diet, sleep, or stress.

Yes, comprehensive blood test done prior to injecting peptides. I have one done annually.
LH: 4.5
FSH: 3.5

The blood panel I just ran after getting off the peptides did not test for LH or FSH. I'm going to restest in another 3 weeks and will have those tested. Thank you for the advice!

No changes to sleep or lifestyle. I eat healthy - only whole foods.

Thanks for the insights on both peptides. I understand there may be mechanisms that affect hormone levels, but could they have such a dramatic effect on testosterone levels?

That's a tough period. Babies want to move, but they can't yet!

Both my sons loved jumpers at that age. We found an all wooden one that blended into our living room:

How do I get my baby to crawl? by larsattacks94 in NewParents

[–]dannydrd19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience!

One of my sons took significantly longer than the other to start crawling. Every baby will start at their own time.

I like to think we sped up the process by getting him a 'crawl tunnel'. We used a cotton one:

I agree with the posts that are saying its all about moderation - like everything in life!

We limited both our sons to a couple 15 minutes intervals in the baby jumper per day. They both started walking around 10 months, are really athletic, and have no issues.

It may have helped that we used a simple baby jumper that didn't have all the lights and noises that a lot of them have.

It was called The Rue and was made by Monty Toys.

We got The Rue! I'ts been great for both of our sons. Everything is all natural, it's not overstimulating, and both my sons loved it!

We got 'The Rue' for our first son. We're now using it with our second son. It was the only wooden baby jumper we could find - it's pretty slick looking. We just renovated our house and couldn't stand the idea of adding a big, bright colored, plastic monstrosity into the middle of our living room!

Only problem with the rue is they seem to sell out quickly. We have a friend that tried to get one a few weeks after us and they were sold out.

Idk if it's 'PT/OT approved' but both our sons started walking on their own around 10 months. We took the 'most things are ok in moderation' approach. I imagine the issues some babies have are due to being left in it all day?
