We're surrounded by success stories. I want to hear about the compounds you ran faithfully and felt absolutely nothing from. Not every peptide works for every person and pretending otherwise helps no one.

Mine: Semax. Ran it for 3 months intranasal, correct dose, fresh product. Felt nothing. My wife felt nothing on her cycle either.

Epitalon. Multiple cycles. I remain skeptical it does anything at any dose anyone actually uses, but I don't have a DEXA of my telomeres so who knows.

Selank for me. 6 weeks. Absolutely nothing, not a bad nothing, just zero signal. Some people swear by it. I am not one of those people.

GHK-Cu. Every friend claims glowing skin. I got a rash.

Ipamorelin at low dose. I know this is controversial but 100mcg did nothing for me. Needed 300+ to feel anything. Your mileage will vary.

CJC-1295 without DAC. I only feel DAC versions. Non-DAC feels like saline to me.

NAD+ subq. Ran it 8 weeks. Nothing. The IV felt like something at least (probably placebo).

Dihexa. Hence the name.

Love this thread. 'Null results' are underweighted in online peptide discourse. Thanks for being honest everyone.
