Who designed this cycle? Is it based on research? Or a youtube bro? Just curious
This is what’s needed if following exactly. I’m on the last week. I am older and from everything I’ve been reading, I think the people who are older than 50 or 60 benefit more than younger folks with healthy mitochondria. I have had more physical and mental energy throughout.
This is the protocol I’m on. The SS-31 cycle is 6 weeks daily at 4mg per. Weeks 13 and 14 not depicted,, but the same as 10, 11, 12
If you haven’t bought yet, look for NAD+ in 500mg vials
I’ve seen a few people on Reddit mentioning they’ve done the protocol and liked it. I figure this is all research anyway, but to your point it would at least be great to have more details as to why this protocol instead of some other.
The text and supporting studies in the full 14-week document provide the rationale for the dosage and duration. But all of the studies were done on rats, so...
I use 'Non-stim' pre-workout (caffeine free)
I like to use the Gorilla non stim pre-workout if my workout is going to be later than noon.
Curious as to why stop the NAD+? I know these protocols typically say to cycle it .. but, why? People taking the NR/NMN pre-cursors do not cycle.
As far as I can tell it's just .. folklore 😀
You mean this SS/31/Mots-C/NAD+ protocol? https://glp1forum.com/threads/ss-31-and-mots-c-protocol.1805/post-95372
Yeah I get that there were some very limited rat studies but again, this is hardly definitive science and was done (to my understanding) as a small limited duration study to see if additional study was warranted.
Oh yeah. Exactly. You make the choice whether to follow this based on what limited evidence there is or not. I don't know if it's a grail document, but it is the only one I've found focused on mitochondrial rehab and it sure sounds good, even though the same studies are repeated throughout. It also established SS-31 comes before Mots-C, when who knows? But a lot of the peptide protocols are based on limited/anecdotal/rat trial data, so you either climb aboard or you don't. I just look at the data and try to determine what is compelling and what isn't and then test the thesis. On me.
Yes i find going to the gym on the way home from work the best, so non-stim works for me.
Smart, because when I get off of work, BTW I work from home, I want to hit the couch as soon as I see it. Especially in the winter. I have to go before work.
Oh absolutely 💯, i have yet to go home and back out to the gym, so stopping on the way home is mandatory! 💪
I’m going to research some other peptides.
Tell us how it’s supposed to be done.
Then why all the questions about protocols?
By whom?
I've had NAD IVs administered by professionals and they take a long time- like an hour to hours depending on the amount of NAD. Even just a 100mg IV takes about an hour. If you take it in faster than that, they say it can cause nausea and other side effects. Even at the slow drip, I still got some nausea. I assume people at home doing this protocol aren't doing their own IV. How is everyone managing these 100 mg NAD doses twice a week? You just use as much bac water as will fit in the vial and pray for fortitude? Or is there something here I don't know? Sincerely asking. Would love to be educated.They're synergistic. Prime with SS-31 to repair mitochondria and then stack MOTS-C and NAD+.
