First time with peptides? Start here — my recommended beginner guide

I get this question almost daily so I'm putting together my standard advice for peptide beginners. Step 1: Pick ONE goal Don't try to solve everything at once. Pick your primary goal: - Injury recovery → BPC-157 or Wolverine Stack - Fat loss → Tirzepatide or AOD9604 - Sleep/recovery → CJC/Ipamorelin - Skin/anti-aging → GHK-Cu - Immune support → Thymosin Alpha-1 - Focus/anxiety → Semax or Selank Step 2: Learn to reconstitute It's easier than it sounds. BAC water + insulin syringe. There are great videos out there. Mito Labs also has instructions with every order. Step 3: Start with one peptide Don't stack 5 things on day one. Run one peptide for 4-6 weeks, assess results, then consider adding a second. Step 4: Be consistent Peptides aren't magic pills. They work through consistent dosing over weeks. Skipping days reduces effectiveness. Step 5: Track your results Take photos. Write notes. Track sleep with a wearable if you have one. You'll forget how you felt at the start if you don't document. Common mistakes: - Overdosing (start low, increase gradually) - Not refrigerating reconstituted peptides - Eating within 2 hours of GH peptides (blunts the response) - Giving up after 1 week (most peptides need 2-4 weeks to show results) - Buying too many peptides at once and not knowing what's working Feel free to ask questions below. No such thing as a dumb question when you're learning.

Welcome! Start here — FAQ & dosing basics

Hey everyone, welcome to the Mito Labs community! A few things that come up a lot: How do I store my peptides? Keep them refrigerated (2-8°C) once reconstituted. Lyophilized (powder) vials are stable at room temperature but fridge is still best. How do I reconstitute? Use bacteriostatic water (BAC water). Inject slowly down the side of the vial, don't spray directly onto the powder. Gently swirl — never shake. Where do I inject? Subcutaneous (under the skin) — belly fat or thigh are the most common spots. Rotate injection sites. How long until I see results? Depends on the peptide. BPC-157 for injuries, many people notice improvement within 1-2 weeks. GH peptides like CJC/Ipamorelin, give it 4-6 weeks for body composition changes. Feel free to ask anything — that's what this community is for.

BPC-157 for leaky gut — 8 week protocol and results

I came to Bali with chronic gut issues — bloating after every meal, food sensitivities that kept growing, brain fog. Functional medicine testing showed elevated zonulin (leaky gut marker). I'd used BPC-157 for injuries before but the gut healing research is what got me excited. Here's what I did: Protocol: 250mcg subQ (belly) 2x/day for 8 weeks Week 1-2: Not much change. Some gurgling. Week 3-4: Bloating started to reduce. Could eat foods that previously triggered me (eggs, dairy). Week 5-6: Major improvement. Eating normally without planning around food sensitivities. Week 7-8: Retested zonulin — dropped from 89 to 52 (normal is <47 but huge improvement). I also added glutamine and bone broth, so it wasn't BPC alone. But the timing of improvement aligns perfectly with the peptide. For anyone dealing with gut issues: try oral BPC-157 (hold the reconstituted solution under your tongue) OR subQ in the belly. Both work for gut targets.
