I Injected 10 Peptides for 90 Days (Superhuman Experiment)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Key wellness & productivity takeaways from the video
1) Core theory: improve mitochondria first
- The author’s guiding philosophy is to repair damaged mitochondria and cellular “foundation” before pushing replication/purging, to avoid creating more “things to repair.”
- They emphasize mitochondria as an upstream driver for:
- muscle gain
- fat loss
- sleep
- skin/hair
- cognition
- organ function
Note: The creator repeatedly states they are not a doctor and this is not medical advice.
2) A staged “4-phase” protocol (peptide experiment summarized by phases)
Phase 1 (Repair / baseline improvement) – ~20 days
- Peptide: SS31 (mitochondrial repair)
- Dose mentioned: ~12.5–15 mg/day
- (The video uses varying figures; it also mentions a total of ~200 mg across the run.)
- “Support” stack elements mentioned alongside:
- Wolverine blend
- NAD+ (and a “NAD plus Wolverine blend” phrasing)
- Framed as supporting cellular energy and receptor receptivity, plus reducing inflammation so it reaches mitochondrial membranes
Phase 2 (Purge / “remove zombie cells”)
- Peptide: Fox04 DRRi (senescent “zombie” cell clearance concept)
- Strategy emphasis:
- Stop other peptides/supplements while purging
- even basic supplements (e.g., vitamin C) were mentioned
- Expect a flu-like response for ~48 hours
- Stop other peptides/supplements while purging
- Diet/activity constraints described:
- Avoids or heavily limits:
- high protein
- exercise / weight training
- carbs (kept low to support the purge/autophagy signaling they believe is happening)
- Only light Zone 2 cardio allowed (as the maximum intensity)
- Avoids or heavily limits:
- Dose & timing mentioned:
- 15 mg/day for 5 days straight
- They chose daily for a short window rather than “every other day”
Phase 3 (Rebuild “foundation” / reset sleep & recovery) – ~20 days
- Epitalon
- Rationale: telomere support + circadian rhythm reset → improved sleep/recovery
- Dose mentioned: ~10 mg/day
- Pinealon
- Rationale: “primes” receptors for better response; supports calm/clear cognition
- Dose mentioned:
- started higher (3–5 mg sometimes)
- reduced to ~1.5–2 mg/day as a “sweet spot”
- Supports mentioned again:
- NAD (cellular energy)
- Wolverine (stack component)
- They specifically highlight sleep as the key priority during this recalibration phase.
Phase 4 (Performance / mitochondrial “explosion”)
- Peptide: MC / Matsi (AMPK-related energy + nutrition partitioning concept)
- Dose mentioned: ~5 mg every other day
- Key timing rule (explicit):
- Do NOT take it before lifting if muscle gain is the priority
- Reason given: raising AMPK is described as opposing mTOR, which they associate with muscle building
- If aiming for boxing/cardio/fat-loss:
- take it right before boxing (to support endurance/shredding rather than hypertrophy)
3) Self-care behaviors reinforced during the experiment
Beyond peptides, they report “returning” to basics that support recovery:
- Improved sleep / circadian alignment (especially during Phase 3 with Epitalon)
- Morning sunlight
- Reading in the morning
- Digestion walks
- Emphasis on “little things” they previously skipped when they weren’t feeling well
- They report improved recovery metrics using a Whoop device, especially HRV and recovery
4) Productivity/mindset claim: dopamine optimization
In Phase 4, they describe a mental theme of:
- less procrastination
- more immediate action (“knock it out” mindset, even for small chores)
- improved social connection / more intimate conversation quality
They frame it as increased internal reward-drive rather than happiness from reaching a destination.
5) Practical “stacking” advice (how to sequence for best results)
- If replicating:
- Minimum recommendation: SS31 first, then Matsi/MC
- If doing the full approach:
- run repair → purge → reset first to “prime” the system so later peptides feel stronger
- They caution against skipping ahead and expecting Phase 4 effects without preparation
