Peptides for older adult

[SolidChick]

I’m researching peptide options for my grandparents, both in their 70s, and wanted to get some input. My grandfather has IBD, a pacemaker, and is fairly active with regular walking. My grandmother is more sedentary, deals with sciatic back pain, and takes omeprazole for gastritis.

Are there any peptides that might be worth looking into? Any guidance or shared experiences would be appreciated.

Are they of sound mind and able to understand the risks/rewards and make decisions for themselves?

BPC-157 would be a good starting point for your studying. It’s commonly researched for its digestive system healing properties (and it’s derived from gastric juices). If you’re completely new to peptide research, be sure to look up angiogenesis and understand the potential risks associated with any existing tumors.

Welcome to the forum.

It all depends on what their goals are. KPV is another one to look at for inflammation and digestive issues like IBS. A lot of people have said it greatly reduced their symptoms. If they need a cognitive assist, Epitalon and possibly Semax can help. With a pacemaker, I'm not sure about Semax unless it's low dose.

I'm not that much younger than they are and I thought all three were very beneficial for me. I'm halfway through a 60-day cycle of KPV and just finished 20 days of Epitalon and Semax. They will be in my rotation forever.

Yes they are.

Thank you for this. I just want them to be healthier and more alert.

The links are to PepPedia pages. My new favorite researching site.

KLOW - This is a peptide mix of BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and GHK-Cu. Good for healing and is an anti-inflammatory. I have taken this personally and it has definitely reduced my aches and pains.

NAD+, SS-31 and MOTS-C - These three are worth looking at. I have just started a routine with all three but haven't taken it long enough to form an opinion on its effectiveness.

Epitalon - Another one worth looking into. I have purchased some of this and plan on taking after the routine of the previous 3. I can not say anything about it based on personal experience yet.

There are a few others that I have considered offering to my own mother in hopes of improving her cognitive function, but that is another matter entirely .. one that I have discussed in another thread. I haven't followed though on any of them due to the fact that it would be unethical to inject her with something that she doesn't understand without the approval of a medical professional. As much as it pains me to watch my mother decline it would be so much worse if I injured her in my zeal to try and "fix" her.

I completely understand. I wish I had known about peptides while my Dad was still alive. I know that his quality of life his last couple of years could have been improved with them. It’s such a shame that for all the searching for treatments I did, not one search ever came up with anything related to peptides. Best wishes for you and your grandparents.

I understand. I will definitely ask them to speak with their providers about them before I do anything. That is, if they are interested.

I wish you and your mother the best.

I'm in my 70s and actively taking peptides. I can tell you that they've made a major difference in my overall quality of life.

I was on omeprazole for a while. My doctor put me on an oral BPC-157 + KPV for a while and all my GI issues pretty much vanished in two months. That was 2-3 years before I started pinning BPC-157. If someone has GI issues, I think the oral version of BPC-157 is a really good starting point.

Beyond that, I completely agree with MsGizmo's advice above as a good starting point, if they're willing to do the pins (or if they're willing for you to help them).

I am 75 and I would love to find a forward thinking doctor who prescribes or recommends peptides. I dicovered them about a year ago and love how they help me.

They need a directory of them listed just for us.

In that age group I would consider potential for elevated cancer risk and the effect that peptides might have if there is an existing undetected cancer. Adding regular blood tests for cancer markers / colonoscopy / urine cytology etc would be wise if they aren't already doing that and they start using anything that promotes GH or angiogenesis.

I am 70 with a pacemaker. Not really an issue for me, I use NA semax daily in the morning and have never had any issues.

Good to hear!

Edit: I have a kit of NA arriving in 4-5 days and I'm looking forward it.

I'm going to take a shot at compiling a list. Nothing fringe, just relatively safe and effective for 65+.
