A protective peptide produced by your mitochondria. It shields cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, helps brain cells survive, and protects the heart. Think of it as your cells' built-in bodyguard.
What to Expect
Week 1–2
Subtle cellular-level effects — cytoprotection and mitochondrial support beginning. No dramatic subjective changes expected.
Week 3–6
Mild improvements in energy and cognitive clarity. Enhanced mitochondrial function. Neuroprotective effects building.
Week 8+
Cumulative anti-aging and cytoprotective benefits. Improved metabolic markers. Enhanced cellular resilience to stress.
Common Side Effects
Dosing
1-5 mg subq daily. Cycle for 4-8 weeks.
Practical Guide
Reconstitution
Mix vial with BAC water per research protocol. Doses typically in microgram range.
Storage
Refrigerate after reconstitution. Use within 14-21 days.
Injection Sites
Subcutaneous with insulin syringe. Very limited dosing guidance — follow research protocols conservatively.
Timing
Morning dosing. Limited clinical data on optimal timing.
Food
No known food interactions.
