5 AMINO 1 MQ Review:
I wasn’t sure how to reach you, but just wanted to give a review. I took 5 amino 1 mq with ipamorelin and after 20 days I felt aweful. I got peptides from limitless life. I stopped the ipamorelin and kept using the 5 amino. I had really bad heart palpitations, and at one point I really thought I needed to go to the ER. My girlfriend is on it as well and feeling similar. No heart palpitations tho. Thought you would want to know. I was very excited and then had an aweful experience. Been off for 3 weeks and still don’t feel quite right.
Jay – how much water do you use to reconstitute the Melanotan 1? What’s your dosage amt / frequency look like?
What are your thoughts on taking a peptide combo of ipamorelin/semorlin and creating an itching sensation at the injection site? Thank you for the help
Great podcast as always. Really digging every podcast I hear Jay on. He is great pairing with the info and energy Ben brings.
Quick question for Ben – what headphones do you use for these podcasts? Looking for a solid, wired, noise-cancelling set.
Is it safe for teenagers to take peptides? If they are looking to gain muscle.
Great pod! Im 35 and am also a bit of a hard gainer. I’m very much interested in the Ipamorelin & Tesamorelin stack that Ben used to put on muscle. Is all the information on how exactly to use these peptides in the new book, “Optimize your Health with Therapeutic Peptides”? Is it available anywhere else beside the course?
Also, does the new book discuss using testosterone as tell?
Thank you!
Hi, I have a question about peptides. Ben had a great article “Everything You Need To Know About Peptides Part 1” That was very informative about experiments. Checking out Jay’s website I see some products I’d like to look in to. Where can I find normal experiment protocals?
If you had to buy one product from this podcast for hair growth, would it be Folitin or would it be the Auxano Grow V2 Hair Growth Formula? Thank you
not enough red light on the bawls and sunlight everywhere else.
Hi, great podcast and I’m so happy I caught it, I’ve wanted to learn about peptides but they seemed out of my reach. I signed up for the courses and am soo happy that it wasn’t crazy expensive, it really elevates them in my mind, that they really want to share their knowledge<3 I am super interested in the folitin but the link just goes to the course signup, I looked using another link but can’t seem to find it, can anyone share a working link? Thank you!
Thanks for your positive feedback.
The link to purchase Folitin is still the same but it appears some people have had trouble purchasing.

I enjoyed the cast
Im trying to gain wait too…what is the oatmeal?
Hey Ben, the podcast player only has 1x speed, what’s up with that?
