Many thanks, great summary. A little bit of this stuff -- like 100mcg -- goes a long way for me. Just wondering about cycling: do we know that the-off cycle should be roughly equal to (at at least half) the on-cycle based on data? I have heard of people using this stuff for a very long time with no cycling intended; these people, however, have serious chronic issues, and so perhaps it's not wise to forgo cycling? Is the pharmacological action conducive to a weekly cycle of, say, 4 days on/3 days off? No "medical advice" is being asked or expected.

Yeah 4 days on and 3 days off is one way to do it for sure

Thats for more of an acute boost

Taking longtern cycles/indefinitely is more for the regenerative BDNF increase effect

Three possible answers: 1. research shows that cycling Semax is necessary; 2. research shows that cycling Semax is unnecessary; 3. we don't know yet because we don't have enough research.

Which is correct?

"3 possible answers" lol no.

Already told you, there's different benefits to cycling vs acute usage & off days

Research does not show cycling is necessary, so looks like you've done none

It's prescribed for longterm use in Russia

I'm not stating anything! I'm simply asking you whether there is research showing that cycling is necessary to prevent some kind of downregulation? Or, can we just take it indefinitely?

Could this be substituted for PT-141 in your eggplant protocol?

If not, does the 141 spray work as well as the injectable for gains?

Not quite. Increases libido, but doesn't induce massive wood like PT. The spray doesn't work as well as injectable and costs a lot more. But overall, not a huge deal. The pumping and stretching is going to make the biggest difference along with BPC

I ordered the spray.

What do you recommend for an injectable setup? I'm a total noob with this stuff. Where do I get needles and vials? Where should I inject? Anything else I need to know?
