Hello all. I promise I am mentally stable and have no history of drug abuse, though I do smoke weed fairly regularly. I understand that some of what I have been asking may come across as naive or misguided, and I genuinely apologize if it has come off that way. The staff member is correct; there is nothing concerning going on here. This is simply a thread for me to learn and ask questions before I commit to any decisions that could have real consequences on my health.
I have no issue with the strongly worded responses. Honestly, it just reads to me like everyone here is looking out for a younger person trying to figure things out, and I appreciate that more than I can express.
Where I still have genuine questions is around recovery-focused peptides, specifically BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu. My understanding is that these operate through completely different pathways than GH secretagogues and do not stimulate IGF-1 or interfere with growth plates. Is that correct? Training five or more days per week with no specific injury, would these have any real practical benefit for someone my age, or is the evidence too limited to justify them outside of an actual injury context?
