Life is just not easy. And it's a challenge to get that number down. I mean, it's certainly a challenge for me. You traditionally use probiotics, a lot of things to help bolster the immune system. Well, now we're starting to use the GLP-1s and we're seeing that those antibody levels come down. And I don't have a great way of explaining it, but there's something going on that's very positive.

So many. So I think with BPC, for me, kind of the most utilized peptide that we've used. So we'd like to use BPC almost with every patient. It is very anti-inflammatory. And so just from a very general perspective, most people walking around who are adults, they're stiff, they're sore as they get older, they work out. We work with athletes of all levels. There's that element of inflammation.

Maybe they have some chronic disease, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease. Inflammation is paramount, we understand that. And BPC, I've observed with so many patients, we're talking thousands upon thousands of patients, where their inflammation comes down, so they feel better, they're not as stiff, they're not as sore, their knee doesn't hurt as much, their shoulder's improved.

So we've learned, you know, that we start with a dose, you know, based upon these, like you said, animal studies, which is conservative, make sure it's safe. And then we've seen over time that we can get to higher and higher dosages and have even more of an impact, you know. And I think so for people understanding using BPC, we started with a dose of like 500 micrograms a day.

We got up to 5,000 micrograms a day, you know, and we'd like a protocol five days on, two days off. And that's been very helpful for a variety of things from post-viral, you know, with the pandemic. Had a lot of success with BPC to, again, you name it.

Honestly, almost everyone I could think of, particularly as people are engaging more fitness-related lives, they're working out more, I would argue that anyone who's working out on a regular basis, BPC is going to benefit. It's going to help, you know, improve the inflammatory status but also help with recovery. And it doesn't seem to be one of these agents that's going to be detrimental.

Like we were talking earlier, Rob and I, for the starter, like, you know, they found that people are working out hard taking antioxidants. There seems to be a negative consequence to that because you don't allow the body to kind of repair itself. I don't think that's happening with BPC.

It does, right. And so it works well if you're, you know, we'll get into taking a growth hormone-releasing peptide. It pairs very well with that because then you're working both sides of the equation, meaning if you're using a growth hormone-releasing peptide like semirelin or ipramirelin, GHRP6, whatever, you're helping your pituitary put out more growth hormone.
