What Is This Vault?

This vault is a comprehensive, cross-linked knowledge base for therapeutic peptide research and application. It contains:

  • 67 peptide notes — individual profiles for every major therapeutic peptide
  • 32 condition notes — peptide applications organized by health condition
  • 13 protocol notes — ready-to-use clinical protocols with dosing, timing, and cycling
  • 331 research notes — individual peer-reviewed study summaries (PMID-linked)
  • 50 product notes — Ageless Peps catalog mappings from SKU to peptide science
  • 12 source books — reference library of primary texts
  • 4 compliance notes — FDA/WADA regulatory status and safety matrices
  • 8 MOC index files — this navigation layer tying everything together

Everything is connected via double bracket links. Use Obsidian's Graph View to visualize how peptides, conditions, protocols, and research cluster together.

How to Navigate

By Goal (Most Common Entry Point)

I want to heal an injury:
Wolverine Stack Protocol → BPC-157 + TB-500 → Injury Recovery

I want to lose weight:
Weight Loss Protocol → Semaglutide / Tirzepatide / Retatrutide + AOD-9604 → Weight Management

I want better cognitive performance:
Cognitive Enhancement Protocol → Semax + Selank → Cognitive Enhancement

I want to slow aging:
Anti-Aging Daily Protocol or Longevity Stack Protocol → Epitalon, GHK-Cu, MOTS-C, NAD+ → Anti-Aging

I want better sleep:
Epitalon, DSIP, MK-677 → Sleep Disorders

I want to fix my gut:
Gut Healing Protocol → BPC-157 + KPV → Gut Health

I want to optimize GH/IGF-1:
GH Optimization Protocol → CJC-1295 NO DAC + Ipamorelin → Sarcopenia

I want to support my immune system:
Immune Restoration Protocol → Thymosin Alpha-1 + LL-37 → Immune Support

I want to improve sexual health:
Sexual Health Protocol → PT-141 + Kisspeptin-10 + Oxytocin → Sexual Health

I want better skin:
Skin Rejuvenation Protocol → GHK-Cu + Matrixyl + Argireline → Skin Health

I'm recovering from a stroke:
Post-Stroke Recovery Protocol → Semax + Cerebrolysin + BPC-157 → Stroke Recovery

I have metabolic syndrome:
Metabolic Reset Protocol → MOTS-C + 5-Amino-1MQ + NAD+ → Metabolic Syndrome

By Peptide

Go to Peptide Index for the full alphabetical and category-sorted list.

Notable entry points:

  • BPC-157 — the most versatile healing peptide in the vault
  • GHK-Cu — the most evidence-backed peptide for anti-aging and tissue remodeling
  • Semaglutide — the most widely prescribed peptide globally
  • Thymosin Alpha-1 — the most clinically validated immunomodulatory peptide
  • Semax — clinically approved in Russia, strongest neurological evidence base
  • Epitalon — foundational anti-aging peptide, telomerase activator

By Condition

Go to Condition Index for the full list organized by body system (musculoskeletal, metabolic, neurological, immune, etc.).

By Research

Go to Research Index for all 121 PMID-linked study notes organized by peptide. Each study note contains:

  • Full citation with PubMed link
  • Key findings summary
  • Related peptide links
  • Tags for filtering

By Book / Source

Go to Source Index for all 12 reference books with descriptions of their scope and best use cases.

Key Concepts to Understand First

Peptide Categories

Peptides in this vault fall into several functional categories:

Administration Routes

Cycling Principles

Most peptides require cycling to maintain receptor sensitivity and efficacy:

  • Short-acting peptides (BPC-157, TB-500): 4–8 weeks on, 4 weeks off
  • GHRH/GHRP combos: 8–12 weeks on, 4–8 weeks off
  • Telomere-active peptides (Epitalon): 10–20 day courses, 2–3x per year
  • GLP-1 agonists (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide): typically ongoing with dose titration

Recommended Starting Paths

Path 1 — The Beginner

  1. Read Peptides A Beginners Guide (Sources)
  2. Browse Peptide Index to identify peptides relevant to your goals
  3. Find the matching Condition Index entry for your health focus
  4. Select a Protocol Index protocol and review the full protocol note

Path 2 — The Researcher

  1. Start with Research Index to find studies on peptides of interest
  2. Follow links from PMID notes to the peptide profile
  3. Cross-reference with Condition Index for clinical context
  4. Reference Source Index for deeper dives via primary texts

Path 3 — The Protocol Builder

  1. Start with Protocol Index — find the protocol that matches your goal
  2. Open individual peptide notes for each component to verify mechanisms
  3. Use Graph View to visualize peptide overlaps and condition relationships
  4. Check Research Index for supporting evidence on each component

Important Disclaimers

This vault is for research and educational purposes only. Nothing in this vault constitutes medical advice. Peptide therapies vary greatly in regulatory status by country — many are research chemicals, not approved medications. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before initiating any peptide protocol. Dosing information reflects ranges reported in literature and practitioner guides and should be individualized by a clinician.
