Phenibut Explained

Phenibut is a nootropic compound derived from a neurotransmitter known as GABA. This was achieved by a phenyl group to GABA, thus resulting in a compound called Phenibut (β-Phenyl-GABA). This insanely effective derivative is able to enter your brain and lower levels of anxiety and stress.

The intent was to create a chemical that would help users remain calm without sedating them with drugs like xanax. Phenibut is very potent and extremely effective in reducing stress and anxiety. It is commonly used as a potent sleep aid and has a pretty long half life as well.

The dark developmental history of this compound

I find This chemical extremely interesting due to its somewhat dark developmental history. The Soviet Union developed Phenibut in the 1960s for the Russian cosmonaut program.

They allegedly did this because the Soviets were having so many disastrous problems with their space program. Apparently there were too many manned rockets exploding and killing the cosmonauts upon entering the atmosphere. Many of the cosmonauts were terrified and on the brink of a mental breakdowns because they had a high chance of being blown up at work.

So the Soviets had their chemists take GABA and alter it with a phynl group in hopes of creating a drug that would calm their nerves so much that they would not care about anything.

Post Surgery Healing Stack

I very recently underwent surgery to repair an inguinal hernia. This resulted in a 4 inch wide incision on my waistline and a very, very sore abdominal area. So, I thought ahead and did plenty of research to create a stack of both supplements and research chemicals to optimize my bodies healing abilities to result in faster recovery. This article will document everything I took during the process and the reasoning behind my taking it. I sincerely hope this information can prove helpful to you down the road.

Healing Peptides

TB500: SITE SPECIFIC HEALING PEPTIDE

I injected an entire vial of this but split it up into a several smaller shots around the perimeter of the surgery area. I then used the nasal spray version two times per day to maintain the peptide in my system. This amazing compound basically makes most tissues in the body heal faster and better. TB500 is a synthetic peptide of a naturally occurring protein in the body called thymosin beta-4. Thymosin beta-4 promotes healing by stimulating growth of new blood cells and muscle tissue. TB500 basically causes Thymosin beta-4 to accumulate in higher concentrations where tissue has been damaged. Animal experiments have shown that TB500 promotes migration/survival of cells, formation of blood vessels,  and lowering of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

MOTS-c Metabolic Enhancement Peptide

MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in the mitochondrial genome. Mitochondria play a critical role in the generation of metabolic energy and is responsible for most of the useful energy derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids, which is converted to ATP. 

The peptide has been researched extensively in the last few years due to its therapeutic potential, with no shortage of complex research documentation available for reading. Research to date has shown this peptide plays important roles in metabolism, weight regulation, exercise capacity, insulin sensitivity, longevity, anti aging, and even processes leading to disease states like osteoporosis.

Noopept Nasal Spray Review

Noopept is an nootropic capable of enhancing brain or mental function. Noopept was created by Rita Ostrovskaya (Russian neuroscientist with a background in molecular biology) and patented by a Russian-based pharmaceutical company in 1996.

This nootropic is similar in action to the racetam-class nootropics but I consider it more of a neuropeptide as the primary compound responsible for its efficacy is a peptide called cycloprolylglycine (CPG).

TLB150 (RAD-150) Sarm Review and Dosage

TLB150 is a newly engineered sarm that is also known as RAD150. TLB150 was created by adding a benzoate ester to RAD140. An ester is a chemical alteration that determines the half-life and solubility of a drug in the bloodstream.

TLB-150 AKA RAD-150 is structurally like RAD140 but with an added ester to extend the life of the compound. Like the use of esters in testosterone therapy, binding the ester to the chemical extends the life of it 10-fold. This makes it stronger and longer lasting for less frequent administration.

MSten Prohormone Is Back

Methylstenbolone, known by the nicknames M-Sten, is an orally active designer steroid. Chemically, it is a 17α-methylated derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

It was never introduced for medical use but was wildly popular among internet retailers falsely marketing it as a supplement. It was brought out post 2012 ban and released initially under the trade name “Ultradrol.” Ultradrol was 4mg a capsule with 8mg being considered high. I would say 20mg is the limit most people would want to consider researching.

Real world application wise, it’s very good compound. And it is close to superdrol with the only difference in the two is a double bond at the 1 position! There is a slight bit of water retention but not as much as superdrol. Also, M-Sten never felt toxic to me, nor came with the very common lethargy of Superdrol.

It’s been a VERY long time since I played with this but I remember it being a good compound and seeing excellent strength and vascularity after exceeding 10mg. Methylstenbolone doesn’t stimulate the progesterone receptor or convert to an estrogenic metabolite when synthesized by the body.

I think M-sten got overshadowed by many other more harsh compounds back in the day. Mainly, because many didn’t utilize an effective dosage or had a negative experience because they purchased a product which was multi-compound stack as most reported cases of bad sides came from products that contained DMZ as an added compound.

MSTEN has recently made a comeback from a few research chemical companies. One of those companies happens to be our good friends at Amino Asylum.

Chemyo Sarms Review: Are they Legit?

There was a massive void left in the research community when Proven Peptides shut down. Proven Peptides became huge because of reliable products, outstanding customer service, and smooth transaction processing. I’ve been vetting research chemical companies over the past 3 months to fill that vacancy. And I’ve found a company called Chemyo with a similar model and wider product selection. In this Chemyo review, I’ll discuss various products I’ve used. I’ll also outline their quality control methods and do a product unboxing video.

Theacrine Review: A Caffeine Alternative

For the past month I’ve been taking a deep dive into cognitive enhancing substances known as nootropics. One particular one that I found very interesting is a compound called Theacrine.  I have taken this compound every morning for three weeks to wean off caffeine in order to reset my tolerance.

This can be viewed, in my opinion, as a natural central nervous system stimulant and fantastic alternative to caffeine if used correctly.

Also known as 1,3,7,9-tetramethyluric acid, its a purine alkaloid found in Cupuaçu fruit and in Chinese tea known as kucha. It shows anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and appears to affect adenosine signaling in a manner similar to caffeine.

CJC1295 Explained and How To Use It

There are tons of different GH peptides, analogues, and sectretagogus out there and it can get pretty overwhelming as a new researcher trying to figure out what’s going to be best for YOUR lab experiment. However, CJC1295 has been the base of my GH Peptide research for years now.

What is CJC1295?

Exogenous GH use comes with several negative side effects in this particular Peptide was created to have all of the positives of Growth hormone while mitigating the not so favorable side effects that come with exogenous GH use. I’ve tried pretty much every GH analog/secretagogue/mimic/peptide that’s out there and I always come back to CJ1295.

CJC1295 is an analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone that was first developed in the 1980s. Basically, CJC1295 is the isolated amino chains 1 through 29 of the GHRH Peptide sequence.

GW0742 Super Cardarine Explained

There are dozens of PPAR delta agonists in the pipeline which are in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials such as Elafibranor (GFT505) and Seladelpar (MBX-8025). However, There is a very interesting PPARβ/δ agonist called GW-0742, which is being dubbed as a ‘Super Cardarine’.

GW-0742 vs GW-501516

GW-0742 is a PPARβ/δ agonist that structurally looks like Cardarine(GW501516) but with one hydrogen atom replaced with a fluorine atom. 

From what I can tell is that it has all the positive traits of Cardarine with added benefits.
