Stacks / Immune & Resilience
The Immune & Resilience Program
The complete stay-in-the-fight protocol — the clinical-history foundation, the gut-immunity layer, and the full resilience build for camps, winters, and brutal quarters.
Hard training suppresses immunity — every grappler knows the gym plague that rips through a competition camp. Age and stress do the same thing slower. This program is anchored by the three compounds with the longest real clinical histories on this site, then layered exactly like the others: foundation, immune-specific, complete build.
The Foundation — everyone starts here
- Thymosin Alpha-1 — 1.6 mg, 2× weekly. The anchor: an approved drug in 30+ countries, studied for balancing immune response — stronger where you're weak, calmer where you're overreacting.
- Glutathione — 400 mg, 2–3× weekly. The master antioxidant handling the oxidative load that training, stress, and alcohol generate.
- NAD+ — 100 mg daily. Immune cells are energy-hungry; this is the cellular power supply — and the compound with the deepest recovery-clinic history of the three.
The Immune-Specific Layer
- KPV — 400 mcg daily. Most of your immune system lives in your gut lining; KPV's inflammatory-bowel research is exactly on target for weight cuts, NSAIDs, and travel guts.
- BPC-157 + TB-500 (blend) — 500 mcg daily. BPC was discovered in gastric protection — the gut-lining repair leg that pairs with KPV, plus the systemic tissue base.
The Complete Optimal Build
- Epithalon — one 15-day course. Khavinson's elderly cohorts were immune studies as much as longevity ones; the seasonal reset layer.
- DSIP — 200 mcg pre-bed. One bad week of sleep measurably suppresses immune function; this defends the night shift.
- Selank — 300 mcg daily. Chronic stress is the great immune suppressor; Selank is the stress leg — with immune-modulation research of its own (it descends from an immune peptide).
The full program at a glance
| Layer | Compound | How it's run |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation | Thymosin Alpha-1 | 1.6 mg 2×/week |
| Foundation | Glutathione | 400 mg 3×/week |
| Foundation | NAD+ | 100 mg daily |
| Immune layer | KPV | 400 mcg daily |
| Immune layer | BPC-157/TB-500 blend | 500 mcg daily |
| Optimal | Epithalon | 15-day course |
| Optimal | DSIP | 200 mcg pre-bed |
| Optimal | Selank | 300 mcg daily |
The classic shape is a 6–8 week run through the risk window — competition camp, winter, the brutal quarter. The Supply Builder sizes it so the whole window is covered in one order.
For the women reading this
Immune modulation, glutathione, and NAD+ run identically in women — this is one of the most gender-neutral programs on the site. Standard tier, same schedule, done.
Research protocols, not a prescription — talk to a physician before touching anything.
Compounds in this program
Thymosin Alpha-1
The immune-modulation peptide — an approved drug in 30+ countries that trains the immune system's response rather than suppressing or overstimulating it.
Glutathione
The body's own master antioxidant — a tripeptide on every IV-therapy and med-spa menu, studied for detoxification, recovery, and oxidative stress.
NAD+
Not technically a peptide — the cellular energy coenzyme itself, injected to restore levels that fall ~50% between youth and middle age. The longevity-circuit staple.
KPV
A three-amino-acid fragment of a natural anti-inflammatory hormone — studied for gut inflammation, skin conditions, and calming an over-active immune response.
BPC-157
The most-discussed recovery peptide — studied for tendon, ligament, muscle, and gut repair. The usual first compound for anyone training hard with nagging injuries.
TB-500
BPC-157's usual partner — studied for flexibility, tissue repair, and reducing inflammation across the whole body rather than one site.
Epithalon
The telomere peptide — a four-amino-acid compound from Russian longevity research, studied for telomerase activation and sleep-hormone normalization.
DSIP
The sleep peptide — studied since the 1970s for deepening slow-wave sleep, which is where every other kind of recovery actually happens.
Selank
A Russian-developed anti-anxiety peptide — studied for calming without sedation, and without the dependence profile of benzodiazepines.
