• Dosing: 1/6–1/4 capsule in the morning, 3-4 days on 2-3 days off – or less, or more! Experimentation encouraged.
Brain healing can be slightly taxing 🧠💪🏼 some notice best days are the off days. This one has a moderate taste, use another capsule or mix in juice or food.
• Tip: Start low and use only in morning to prevent overstimulation.
3. TB4-Frag – Healing Toxin damage and activating stem cells
TB4-Frag (Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment) repairs damaged tissues, perfect for kids exposed to toxins or injuries.
• What It Does: Promotes healing throughout the body, clears damaged tissues, and speeds recovery from wounds.
Stimulates angiogenesis, enhances stem cell activation & migration, and reduces inflammation via actin regulation. Repairs myelination.
• Our Experience: Helps more quickly heal everything from the GI tract to skin. It’s our go-to for healing after any type of injury or toxin exposure.
• Read a bit more: In our review TB4‑Frag’s Edge on Tissue Healing – for all ages & stages! (Comparison to BPC 157)
• Purchase it here:
Coupon Code: SAVE10 for 10% off
• Dosing: 1/4 capsule or less, 2-3x daily, as needed. No taste.
• Tip: Pairs well with CogniPep which increases oxygenation & blood flow to the brain and repairs nerves!
“Tβ4 has substantial potential for neurological demyelinating diseases, with the remyelination effect supplementing its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective role.” (R)
4. Larazotide Acetate (LA) – Sealing the Permeable ‘Leaky’ Gut
• What It Does: Larazotide Acetate closes tight junctions in the gut, a common issue for our kids. Well studied to help with Celiac.
Inhibits zonulin, maintaining gut barrier integrity. Reduces intestinal permeability, preventing toxins from leaking into the bloodstream.
Non Permeable vs. Leaky Gut:
• Our Experience: LA further improves food tolerance than with KPV alone. Lessens die-off symptoms from KPV, aiding detox.
Works within minutes, lasts hours (this one works only while taking it)
• Read more about it here: Our Larazotide Acetate info page
• Purchase it here (N-Acetyl Larazotide):
Coupon Code: QUALITY for 20% off (also limited time free shipping in USA)
An option if you are not in the USA, (Biolab, UK) is at “read more” above.
• Dosing: 1/4 capsule 3x daily before meals, powder sublingually, mixed into anything or in another capsule. There is no taste.
• Tip: Use during antifungal or antimicrobial treatments like KPV to prevent die-off.
5. Selank – Anxiety, fight-or-flight & pain
• What It Does: N-Acetyl Selank Amidate, a nasal spray (that many are using sublingually) reduces anxiety, ruminations and fight-or-flight responses.
Modulates GABA, dopamine and serotonin, protects enkephalins & boosts BDNF for cognitive health.
No sedation or foggy thinking like typical with anti-anxiety meds and it’s more effective than any herb we have tried (by a long shot!)
• Our Experience: It’s a lifesaver for my daughter’s anxiety, PMS / PMDD and fight-or-flight panic attacks. Calms her dramatically in 5–10 minutes
• Learn more: Our Selank Blog Post & Video Review!
• Purchase it here:
Coupon Code: QUALITY for 20% off
• Dosing: 1 spray (300 mcg) as needed, day or night. Effects last 4–6 hours, duration increases with use (days or more). Nasal is typical but can also use sublingual. 2.5 drops ~ 1 spray.
• Tip: Try it for all types of pain – it eliminates headaches and period pain in minutes!
It also stops sore throats & body aches during a virus and some members report it helping ward off acute illness.
Many success stories are in our group!
6. Oxytocin – Social Anxiety / Connection
• What It Does: Oxytocin helps kids feel more connected and less anxious in social settings.
Binds to oxytocin receptors in the brain, enhancing social cognition and reducing stress responses; can increase synaptic plasticity
Reduces social anxiety, improves social bonding, and enhances emotional regulation.
• Our Experience: My daughter’s social anxiety drops noticeably with one spray before events. Improved eye contact & engagement – it’s shocking to see this one work! Also very affordable ($30)
• Read a bit more at our Peptides Blog Post
• Purchase it here:
Coupon Code: QUALITY for 20% off. Order 5mg – the 10 mg is a 2 pack.
* Note: Limitless is out of stock. Alternate sources are available but you need to buy the sprayer, kit available from limitless. Instructions on this page: https://diaryofrecovery.com/buy
• Dosing: 2 sprays, 30 minutes before social activities. Can start with 1 spray and see if it’s enough. Can use sublingual, spray into mouth, aim for under tongue.
Also available from Biolab, UK – here. (Double strength, use 1 spray)
UPDATE: September 2025 – I used 2 sprays sublingually of Biolab brand and the difference was incredible! Experiment with more of this one if you’d like! For Limitless I might try 3-4 sprays.
— This one is ideally used intermittently (not daily) to maintain the optimal effects.
7. DSIP – Deep Sleep & Restoration
• What It Does: Delta-Sleep Inducing Peptide enhances deep delta sleep, reduces nighttime waking, and improves sleep quality, helping kids feel recharged, less irritable, even with shorter sleep durations.
DSIP binds to GABA-B receptors to promote relaxation, also regulates cortisol to reduce stress.
Studies show it can:
- Normalize Brain Wave Patterns
- Reduce Seizure Activity
- Stabilizes neural networks through NMDA receptor antagonism and GABAergic enhancement
- Mitigate Stress and Excitotoxicity
- Works via the HPA axis to lower anxiety and improve neural resilience.
- Modulate Neurotransmitter Systems
- Reduces glutamatergic excitation, addressing excitatory-inhibitory imbalance, promoting neural stability.
• Our Experience: My daughter falls asleep faster, stays asleep – first time in a LONG time!
• Learn much more: DSIP Blog Post & Video Review!
• Purchase it here:
Coupon Code: QUALITY for 20% off
• Dosing: 1–2 sprays (50–100 mcg) nasal spray 1–2 hours before bed. Can use sublingual. If using eye dropper, 2.5 drops ~ 1 spray
Start with 1 spray and adjust. Sometimes 1/2 spray (1 drop) is enough after using it a while.
Pulse or reduce dose if it makes someone too tired. Can skip night also, sometimes we do 5 on / 2 off
Bonus: NAD+ – Mitochondria Support
• What It Does: Boosts mitochondrial function, supports energy production, aids DNA repair and more!
NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a vital small molecule for energy and brain health. It’s a must for our kids!
Acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions, enhancing ATP production and sirtuin activity for cellular repair.
Although it’s listed last on this page, it’s actually the support I often start first with nearly all of my consult clients.
It can help peptides work better by nourishing the very cells they are signaling.
• Our Experience: Gives my daughter more energy, stamina and mental clarity.
Prevents hanger meltdowns which is HUGE! (On days we don’t use it, the difference is obvious) It’s a daily staple.
• Purchase it at AgelessRx – But first! See Blog post above for easy instructions. (Approx $100 for 6 month supply)
Coupon Code: VITAL15 for 15% off
• Dosing: Sublingual use of the nasal spray 1/2 spray per day, see our post for a demo of how to dilute.
• Tip: Low doses are best, you don’t need to increase this one!
• Learn more: Our NAD+ Blog Post & Video Review!
Tips for Using Peptides
• Start Low: Begin with the smallest recommended doses, observe and adjust.
• Brands matter: But only quality, third party tested brands. This is non-negotiable for peptides. Ineffective brands are a waste of money, time and can be unsafe especially with children.
• Combine any for synergistic effects – be creative! Common Stacks include:
- KPV + LA for the highest level of food intolerances & GI barrier function
- Can also add: TB4-Frag for additional GI healing effects.
- CogniPep + NAD+ for unbeatable brain support.
- CogniPep (am) + DSIP (pm) for day and night brain restoration
- Selank + Oxytocin for the most demanding social outings!
- And so on!
• Foundation matters – Quality sleep, food, and a calm nervous system will help peptides work even better. See our blog post for nervous system tips!
• Storage – Keep sprays in the fridge. Everything else can be kept room temp, in their bottles or pill boxes.
