Here are notes I have taken about peptides. The trick is to be consistent and use calendar reminders since cycles are spread on a monthly or quarterly bases.
These products are available from compounding pharmacies. I am in the process of attempting to acquire them and use in conjunction with microneedling and or PRP. If you have used any of them, chime in.
- PTD.-DBM is a topical hair product which helps activate the Wnt-Beta-catenin pathway via inhibition of CXXC5. This articular pathway has been proven to help rescue DHT induced hair follicle miniaturization.

- GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first identified in human plasma, but has hence been found in multiple locations such as saliva and urine. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the
human body including, but not limited to, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts, and promoting blood vessel growth

- Thymosin Beta
Thymosin is a hormone secreted from the
thymus. Its primary function is to stimulate
the production of T cells, which are an important part of the immune system. Thymosin also assists in the development of B cells to plasma cells to produce antibodies. The predominant form of Thymosin, Thymosin Beta 4, is a member of a
highly conserved family of acting monomer-
sequestering proteins. In addition to its role as a major actin-sequestering molecule, Thymosin Beta 4 plays a role in tissue repair. Tβ4 has been found to play an important role in protection, regeneration and remodeling of injured or damaged tissues. It has most recently been shown to help regrow hair in addition to PRP.

Molecular Weight:
4963.506 g/mol
Content & Potency: 3000mcg/ml subcutaneous injection provided in a 5ml vial.
Suggested dosage: Inject 0.25ml (750mcg) subcutaneously daily for 20 days.
- Zinc Thymulin
Thymulin is a nonapeptide produced by two distinct epithelial populations in the thymus first described by Bach in 1977. It requires zinc for biological activity. The hormone is involved in T-cell differentiation and enhancement of T and NK cell actions. Thymulin has neuroendocrine effects as well. It follows a circadian rhythm and physiologically elevated ACTH levels correlate positively with thymulin plasma levels and vice versa. A recent study was done on Zinc Thymulin to test its efficacy in the treatment of hair loss. The study indicated that topical treatment with zinc thymulin significantly increased hair growth over 6 months; further, there were no systemic or local side effects from the treatment. The zinc thymulin metallo-peptide optionally also improves endogenous hair pigmentation. For example, by stimulating melanogenesis in grey or greying hair.
Molecular Formula: C33H54N12O15
Molecular Weight: 858.85 g/mol | Sequence: Non-Peptide54
Content & Potency: Topical foam provided in a quantity of 50ml foaming applicator.
Suggested dosage: Apply 1ml (2 pumps) to scalp once daily at night.
GHK-Cu
I buy 100mg and reconstitute with 2ml BAC. That gives me twenty 5mg doses of 1 unit each, which I tolerate very well. I do sometimes get sensitivity with other peptides though, and I find that switching from subcutaneous to intramuscular will often address this. 1 unit = 0.1mL
Valproic acid
8.3g sodium valproate dissolved in 91.7g of water
Zinc Thymulin
Thymulin appears to be plentiful and cheap on Alibaba (CAS #63958-90-7). Once you already have thymulin, lab synthesis of zinc-thymulin is incredibly simply:
1) Attach zinc ion to thymulin by mixing thymulin with zinc oxide (1:3 w/w) in 10% acetic acid (ie. vinegar).
2) Lyophilize (freeze dry) to yield zinc-thymulin.
That's literally it.
Attachment of the zinc ion was performed by mixing thymulin with zinc oxide (1 :3 w/w) in 10% acetic acid and lyophilized to yield ZT. The compound was then dissolved in distilled water with preservatives benzoic acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
PTD-DBM
In the mouse study the dosage was 0.6% a day. You have to dissolve it in a vehicle 5:3:2 ethanol/water/propylene glycol then apply to your hair. Dermarolling at 0.5mm and VPA 7%.

Here's what to do with the BPC-157 powder and BAC water:
Pop the caps off both the BPC-157 and BAC.
Gently alcohol swab the rubber stopper on the BPC-157, then let it dry. Same goes with the BAC vial.
Dose out the correct amount of BAC. In the case of a 30ml bottle of BAC, if you fill three insulin syringes full of water, then very slowly and carefully (peptides are extremely fragile) inject each of those syringes into a 5mg bottle of BPC-157, you are going to nearly completely fill the 5mg bottle of BPC-157.
Once the 5mg bottle of BPC-157 is full, then based on this very handy Peptide Mixing & Dosing Calculator, each time you inject a 1ml/1cc syringe into it and pull that syringe back to the eight tick mark (15 Unit mark), you are going to have yourself approximately 250mcg of BPC-157.
Several in-vitro tests performed by Caregen shows the following efficacy per peptide:
Decapeptide-10 (CG-Keramin2): would provide nourishment to scalp and hair root for a healthier and thicker hair shaft through the stimulus of angioedema.
Octapeptide-11 (CG-Seperin): would inhibit cell death in hair cells caused by oxidative stress (excess free radicals)
Octapeptide-2 (Prohairin-β4): would promote hair growth by activating the stem cells in hair follicles
Decapeptide-18 (CG-WINS): would lead to the formation of hair placodes and generates new hair follicles by β-catenin and the SHH signal.
Decapeptide-28 (CG-Rehairin): would stimulate hair follicles, activates the anagen phase, slows down the categene phase to inhibit hair loss.
Oligopeptide-54 (CG-Nokkin): would inhibit hair loss by the down-regulation of DKK-1, BMP4 and TGFβ-1 signal
Oligopeptide-71 (CG-Edrin): would promote hair regrowth by activating the WNT signal
Biotin Tripeptide-1 CAS 299157-54-3

Sub-q into the belly. Effect is systemic.
GHK-CU is 5-10mg once a day for 20 days. Ten days off and repeat. I'm doing about 1 cycle per month. No science behind that. Just what I'm doing.
GHK-Cu Copper Peptides Fluid Use rate: 0.5%-2% For 1% - Add 1 ml GHK Copper Peptide to 99 ml water or base product = produces 100 ml 1% copper peptide product Add to water phase.
