Sarah Morgan reveals how oral peptide strips deliver benefits like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu without injections.
Episode 451 of The Intermittent Fasting Podcast features guest Sarah Morgan, CEO and co-founder of Instamed Pharmaceuticals. Hosts Melanie Avalon and Barry Conrad introduce the topic of peptides, focusing on Instamed's oral strip delivery technology. Sarah shares her background from a family of cardiologists to clinical nutrition and entrepreneurship. She explains peptides as mini-proteins, signaling molecules naturally occurring in the body, with examples like insulin and GLP-1 drugs. The discussion delves into regulatory classifications, noting peptides blur lines between drugs and supplements, illustrated by NAC's dual status. Sarah addresses listener questions about absorption, safety, and efficacy, detailing Instamed's NSF-certified GMP facility, third-party testing, and patented insta-release technology for mucosal delivery. She compares oral strip bioavailability to injections, estimating 70-95% efficiency depending on the peptide. Specific peptides are explored: BPC-157 for gut and injury healing, CJC-1295 for growth hormone and sleep, PT-141+ for libido with oxytocin, GHK-Cu for skin and connective tissue, and Thymosin Alpha-1 for immune optimization. Sarah recommends cycling protocols, fasting for better absorption, and shares personal favorites. The episode concludes with a discount code and Sarah's gratitude for family.
