Episode notes

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas go head to head with their personal top 5 beauty and skin peptides without comparing notes beforehand. Same goal, different minds. Here's what they came up with.

Chapters:

🧬 Will's Top 5

– GHK-Cu: firms skin, softens fine lines, fades dark spots, boosts collagen, speeds healing the #1 skin peptide

– Wolverine Stack (BPC-157 + TB-500): angiogenesis brings new blood flow to skin, heals gut (root cause of most skin issues), collagen absorption, full body inflammation control

– NAD+: cellular repair and energy, skin looks tighter and younger within 2 weeks NAD declines from 100% at 20 to under 25% by 70

– Epithalon: lengthens telomeres, slows the internal aging clock, syncs circadian rhythm better sleep = better skin

– KPV: calms gut inflammation, helps eczema, psoriasis, redness, reactive skin, and post-treatment recovery

– Honorable mention: Snap-8 topically with GHK-Cu topical Botox alternative for fine lines and wrinkles

💪 JD's Top 5

– HGH: the king of anti-aging collagen production, skin thickness, elasticity, hair and nail growth, better sleep, fat loss. Every movie star takes it for a reason

– Klow (GHK-Cu + KPV + BPC-157): three powerhouses in one skin, gut, and healing all covered

– NAD+: DNA repair, cellular energy, skin glow 50mg daily around 2PM replaces the afternoon coffee crash

– Tesamorelin: targets visceral belly fat specifically, FDA approved, boosts natural GH especially powerful for women

– MoTC: fires up mitochondria, boosts cellular energy, supports lean physique and insulin sensitivity most people are running on empty

🔑 Where they agree

– GHK-Cu and NAD+ are non-negotiables for skin and aging

– Gut health is the root of almost every skin issue fix the gut first

– Sub-Q NAD+ daily beats IV drips for consistent results

– During NAD+ breaks, take NMN (the precursor) to keep building your body's own supply

– GHK-Cu shampoo is real women have reported hair darkening and thickening on it

– Face serum with Snap-8 + GHK-Cu post-microneedling or laser facial cuts healing time in half

💡 Topical tips

– Don't inject Snap-8 into your face it's a topical only

– Micro needle 2-3x per week and apply GHK-Cu serum after for best results

– HGH thickens your skin noticeably hair transplant techs and nurses have both commented on it
