BPC-157 and the Gut-Brain Connection
Huberman has discussed BPC-157 extensively, particularly its relationship with the gut-brain axis. He explains how this peptide, derived from gastric proteins, may influence healing through multiple pathways including nitric oxide signaling and growth factor modulation.
Cognitive Peptides: Semax and Selank
As a neuroscientist, Huberman has shown particular interest in cognitive-enhancing peptides. Semax and Selank, both developed in Russia, have been discussed for their potential effects on BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and cognitive performance.
Longevity and Epithalon
In discussions about longevity, Huberman has mentioned Epithalon, a synthetic version of the peptide Epithalamin, which research suggests may influence telomerase activity. This connects to broader conversations about aging and cellular health.
The Scientific Approach
What sets Huberman apart is his emphasis on understanding the science before application. He consistently recommends consulting with healthcare professionals and approaching these compounds as research tools rather than treatments.
