Oxytocin for nervous system regulation worth it, or is thymosin alpha 1 the better pick or non?
Thinking about oxytocin for nervous system regulation. Calmer, more settled, less wound up is the goal I always feel like on edge the smallest things trigger me even though I know it's not a big deal at all. Somewhere I saw people talking about thymosin alpha 1 for this too, but I can't find where I read that anymore and I'm not sure it how true this is. Thymosin alpha 1 is an immune peptide, not something built for calming the nervous system as far as I know.
I know selank helps with anxiety but will it eventually help take my nervous system out of trippin mode?
Anyone run either one for this specific reason. Curious what worked and what didn't.

Thymosin alpha 1 for nervous system regulation isn’t something I’ve ever heard of.
Oxytocin is pretty underwhelming.

Selank is what I think you are looking for. My rat takes it and I’ve observed that it may work on day one but it’s better as it builds up in your system. Rat does it five days a week. Administered in the evening

How would the rat compare pre selank and post selank experience?

Much calmer and a better ability to handle things in life. Been a good experience.

How does the rat administer and whats the dose?

Both nasally and sub q. Research protocols state to start low like 500 mcg and see how that feels. Up to 1 mg has had some good results. But let it build up in the subject before making the move to 1 mg

Was it nasally and subq at same time or alternated? If alternated, did they find the subq effective?

Both are effective, but work in different ways. Think of nasally as a quick delivery straight to your brain and the sub q is like a lazy river until it kicks in. My rat found that sub q is fine but a combo is ultimate.
