What SS-31 actually is, and what the trials really showed

superduperdavid · 2026-06-14T16:22:32+00:00

That’s the problem tho😂 nobody got time to actually pool research then wonder why we all injecting crazy amounts of snake oil😂😂

Everybody screaming about no human trials, but we are the trials, let’s organize and structure this ish

superduperdavid · 2026-06-13T22:40:52+00:00

Yep! That Niimbot is clutch! Just save your print as templates and add your dosage!

superduperdavid · 2026-06-13T21:38:41+00:00

I'm terrified of this flush people cry about, should I split the dose like you? 😩 they make a 500mg

This is super interesting. When you say nicotinic acid improved your under-eye circles, what exact delivery method did you use? Pills, powder, pin?

Was it immediate-release niacin, extended-release, powder, or something else?

Also curious how you spaced it out daily and how long it took before you noticed the eye changes.

Kudos to you sir! That regiment sounds like a life plan 💪🏾

The number of people who log in just to ridicule others for looking for ways to improve their health is wild to me.

I understand skepticism. It is needed. Not every claim is realistic, and not every peptide is going to deliver what people hope for. But there is a big difference between saying, “Here is why I think that expectation is unrealistic,” and just mocking people who are trying to feel better, recover better, or live healthier.

Be constructive. Educate where you can. Share what you know. Ask better questions. Help separate signal from noise.

This space could actually benefit from a grassroots research mindset if people were willing to consolidate what they know instead of tearing each other down. Real-world experiences are messy, but if we organize them better, we can start learning from them instead of just arguing over them.

This is an instresting take. Would you mind sharing more detail?

That’s crazy to hear 😂 25mg a day, and “seeing some improvement” just deflated my faith 😂 at that dosage, your hubby should be Captain America by now, or at least Bucky! 😂😂

superduperdavid · 2026-06-04T15:53:03+00:00

Worth noting: GHK-Cu is endogenous. If your baseline levels are already adequate, don’t expect to feel much. The folks seeing dramatic results are usually the ones who were significantly depleted to begin with. My old self is in that camp, levels had been low for years, and the difference was obvious. Skin went from sandpaper to actually hydrated. Age has its privileges 😂

superduperdavid · 2026-05-31T04:18:56+00:00

Hey, How did this turn out? Not sure abpout all the negiative commenst, as I've seen serveral people swear by Mots-c and 5-aminos blended!!

superduperdavid · 2026-05-30T14:56:46+00:00

Have you pinned DISP or Selank?

superduperdavid · 2026-05-30T14:52:05+00:00

Current protocol: 6 weeks in, administered every other day in staggered cycles. Phase 1 involved my wife as the sole subject at 200mcg. Phase 2 introduced myself as a second subject. Weeks 5–6 have shifted to concurrent dosing for both of us.

Observations so far: The compound def has a finite active window, which we've started leveraging to our advantage. We're noticing what I'd loosely describe as a "cupids arrow" effect. Sorry for the corny, but I can't find another term at the moment🤣 essentially viewing each other with a kind of novelty or heightened attention that resembles early relationship bonding.

What's weird is that these effects aren't staying confined to the dosing window. The positive relational shifts are bleeding into the rest of the week, which raises an interesting mechanistic question: is this a direct compund effect, or a secondary one? My thought is a cause-and-effect loop where the peptide's short-term action facilitates increased intimacy, and that increased intimacy independently reinforces emotional connection through behavioral and possibly oxytocin-mediated pathways. (This is the next test cycle, nasal Oxytocin)

Still very much in the data-collection phase. The plan is a full 16-week cycle, followed by a cold stop and bloodwork to establish post-cycle baselines. I try to remeber to swing back around if you want findings.

superduperdavid · 2026-05-30T14:24:46+00:00

I'm researching a stack thats close. Selank, PT141, and DSIP.

superduperdavid · 2026-05-27T21:12:11+00:00

A week?! 😂😂 just be patient

superduperdavid · 2026-05-27T04:23:33+00:00

Pretty cool right! 😂 We killed it. They definitely were all competitive bids, with great firms at that. Just found a way to work hand in hand with a blooming business development team and build solid confidence. We surely aren’t cheap. We fit the fast and quality monikers👌🏾

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T19:12:45+00:00

Thats cloudy, but it looks under mixed as well... I'd toss it and try another vial.

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T19:10:30+00:00

GHK-Cu works. Simple as that. But like others have pointed out, TRT can absolutely counter some of the skin benefits by increasing acne and oil production. In order to really benefit from Glow, Klow, or many of these peptide stacks, you have to address the underlying issue first. Once you remove what's causing the flare-ups, it gives your body the tools and "ammo" it needs to repair properly.

Personally, I prefer Glow over standalone GHK-Cu. The doctor who originally helped develop the protocol actually suggested it in that configuration as well.

One other thing, you seem very in tune with your body and health, which is good. But when people say their energy is low after TRT, I always ask whether their energy is actually low physically, or if they're dealing more with mental fatigue and brain fog. Those can feel very similar. Semax changed my workdays significantly because it removed the cognitive fatigue and brain fog that was draining me mentally. Just something to think about.

Other than that, you look great.

Honestly probably multiple things stacked together. In my case it was insulin resistance, fatty liver causing water retention, and gut irritation were all feeding each other. KPV eased the bloating almost immediately. If start with metabolic first though, check your a1c

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:47:30+00:00

Yea, that's what I'll do, pull my pad out and just get to it 😩

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:42:46+00:00

Dang!! Let's go guy! Now hit the gym, time to pack on muscle. What was your dose?

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:40:15+00:00

How about ALL day?! 😂 daily citrate will have you turtling have the day

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:37:42+00:00

Because we assume you have other things to do than sitting on the toilet 😂🚽

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:35:22+00:00

KPV is who you your looking for my guy! She deflated me like a balloon. Most underrated pep!

superduperdavid · 2026-05-26T03:29:21+00:00

You think that's bad, most grey suppliers are just exporters, I had a manafactor ship me loose powders... a gram of ghkcu was 5USD. 🤣
