Is Pro Advice Worth It?

KPV is extremely popular in my circle as well as at this forum, including stacked with TA-1.

KPV has demonstrated antimicrobial properties, specifically against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, which adds a layer of utility that BPC-157 lacks.

Anyone on MOTS-c and SS-31 may want to be on CoQ10 as well, which many are already, but there's always more supplements contending for cabinet space:

The Mighty Mitochondria - SSRP Institute



You have probably heard that mitochondria are called the “powerhouse of the cell” and yes, that’s true! These organelles produce ATP, which is the main energy

If you are looking for ways to support mitochondrial biogenesis (a fancy way of saying ‘help your body make more mitochondria’) there are several well researched supplements that may help.

Here are some of the top contenders:

Resveratrol – This polyphenol found in red wine activates the AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1α pathway that initiates mitochondrial biogenesis.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – A component of the electron transport chain, CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) – A potent antioxidant that enhances mitochondrial function and may be useful for various conditions associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

L-Carnitine – Facilitates the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria to produce energy.

Creatine – Well known for its benefits in high intensity exercise, creatine improves mitochondrial efficiency.

B-Vitamins – B3, B6, B12, and folic acid, which serve as essential cofactors in mitochondrial function.

Magnesium – Important in ATP production and over 300 biochemical reactions in the body including those occurring in the mitochondria.

Berberine – A natural product that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis through the AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1α pathway.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – An antioxidant from green tea that stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis.

These supplements vary in their effect from individual to individual, but most of them activate PGC-1α, which is the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. When you are educating your patients on how they can help support mitochondria health and redox balance through supplements, check out my second book, The Redox Promise, where I discuss numerous other supplements that can benefit cellular health. Look for it!

Even testing NAD+ levels in the blood doesn't tell you how much actually gets into the cells:

Gemini said:


Because red blood cells lack mitochondria, their NAD+ levels don't reflect the metabolic activity or "fuel status" of your heart, liver, or skeletal muscle—the areas where you’re likely looking for performance or anti-aging benefits.

Even within a single cell, NAD+ is compartmentalized into different "pools" (cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria). A blood test cannot distinguish between these. You might have "adequate" total levels, but if your mitochondrial NAD+ pool is depleted, your cellular energy production (ATP synthesis) will still lag.

I tried vip last night and boy did i goof on the injection amount. Most things I found on a Google search were a dosage oh 200mcg and no direct vein injection. From the first minute I did the injection I could feel the little power dosage. My heart rate jumped to 99 and my face got very flushed. It only last about 10 to 15 minutes though. I will say I woke up less stiff this morning and I tend to retain water in legs due to a lipid system issue i have been trying to correct and it was less noticeable this morning. I am going to half the dosage and try a 100 mcg to see if I have the same reaction.

I also did the same. 200mcg of VIP and boy was it quite the experience. My heart started racing, I got real sweaty, and turned red. It felt exactly like I had just ran 4 miles. It wore off completely in about 20-30 minutes, but the first 15 were "interesting" and a bit scary to say the least.

So what do you use it for if not to direct?

I have a history of gut issues since childhood. Leaky gut and poor absorbption issues. I am prone to catching bacterias, fungi, parasites, too. My immune system has always been weak and I have inflammation. I also use KPV which helps a ton. Added VIP for an extra boost, but you have to go super super low. It is supposed to help with circadian rhythm, too. I have bad insomnia, so hoping to see if it helps. I also do DSIP.

VIP, though, is one you can really "feel" within 1 minute of pinning.

I do long cycles of epithalon and seems to give me about a ratio of 50% deep sleep along with dsip.

I tried epitalon but I had a bad reaction to it. DSIP, though is incredible for deep sleep. I am glad 1 of the 2 worked because a lot of people see zero effects from DSIP.

I wish I could do epitalon. Maybe I will wait and try it again subQ. I tried IN but couldn't continue.

What sort of reaction did you get? I had a crazy reaction to dsip myself, so I'm crossing my fingers that epitalon treats me better.
