Perplexed by Peptides?

Bioregulatory Peptides are a novel class of medicine that hack our biology on the genetic level.

I say novel because they are a relatively recent development and have been thus far not largely acknowledged and studied by the Western medicinal establishment. For those looking for healing solutions outside the mainstream offerings of the pharmaceutical-industrial complex, these peptides are worth learning about.

What are Bioregulatory Peptides?

This article is about a specific kind of peptide, bioregulators, they are a bit different than the type of peptides that bodybuilders use to transform themselves into human monsters. The important distinction with bioregulators is that they target very specific genes to achieve very specific effects.

Chemically, A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, identified by the fact that it is shorter than a protein, and so can be absorbed easily via the digestive system. Each organ or bodily function has its own unique peptide bioregulator. Peptide bioregulators have been shown to shortcut the protein synthesis process by interacting directly with cell DNA – meaning that organs can build and repair tissues easier and quicker when peptide bioregulators are active.

History

There’s an interesting documentary about the history of bioregulatory peptides, they are a byproduct of the cold war. Soviet seamen working on nuclear submarines were the crucial tip of the spear yet they suffered from a dire premature aging syndrome that took a serious toll on military effectiveness. Thus Soviet scientists developed bioregulatory peptides that made the Soviet seamen’s biology resilient to significant environmental hazards they were submerged in.

This documentary calls peptides "smart drugs", not because they are intended to make you smarter (like Nootropics) but because peptides smartly target very specific genes, thus mitigating risk and undesirable side effects.

Another documentary focuses on the life, times, and work of Dr. Vladimir Khavinson, an accomplished (and I might add gracefully aging) Russian scientist who has invented numerous peptides.

Skepticism

I’ll express upfront my reservation about some of these peptides, for some of them I’m not finding much-published research on Pubmed, the clinical trials done on them are often not published in full in English. And in some cases, the only clinical trials done were sponsored by the manufacturer. These are kind of red flags, which is why you’ll find a lot of anecdotal accounts below, some of these were translated from Russian.
I’d be extremely skeptical of a product or medicine that was claimed to do something but had no clinical trials and nobody on the internet talking about if it actually worked as advertised. In the case of these peptides, we found a lot of people speaking frankly online confirming various effects they had.
Take other people’s anecdotal experiences with a grain of salt, they should not be the sole factor convincing you to use a drug or peptide but the lack of anecdotes testifying to an advertised effect is a dog that did not bark - it’s also a red flag. Thus these anecdotes should instill some confidence in these peptides, which is why we translated and organized them here.

A layperson first learning about peptides might have a sense of guttural revulsion upon learning that they are derived from animals, often they quite literally put some animal brains in a laboratory blender and hit blend! Not knowing better you may have some concerns with animal diseases or viruses from the peptides.

In researching this article I perused hundreds of user reports and watched all the videoblog testimonials about peptides that I could find. I came across virtually no notable reports of negative side effects and especially no cases reporting Prion disease or contracting animal viruses. That’s a good sign!
