Hey fellow health enthusiast 👋

I am Karol, initiator of New Zapiens - your guide to proactive health and longevity.

We started New Zapiens because we believe that we have to take our health more into our own hands.

Let’s face it: most of our doctors only treat us when we already have a problem. Our healthcare system is designed to react to diseases, not help us prevent health issues in the first place.

Yet, we know that our lifestyle - how we sleep, what we eat, how often we work out etc. - has a huge impact on how healthy we are. And how well and long we’ll likely live.

We believe in the power of our personal health data. We can only optimise what we can measure and track. Yet, we know that we are all different. What might work for me doesn’t work for you. So we all have to find out for ourselves.

As serial entrepreneur (Ex-Founder Upfit) and father, New Zapien's mission is simple: help as many people as possible realize their full health potential by giving them tools to better understand their current health status and take action for a healthier and longer life.

Looking forward to discovering (and sharing) new ways to become better Zapiens.

Onwards and upwards,
Karol

The peptide market will hit $50 billion by 2028.

Elite athletes use them to heal 40% faster, longevity doctors use them for fat loss and improved immunity.

Peptides are software updates for your biology: the code that tells your cells when to repair, burn fat, or fight infection.

Yet most people have never heard of them.

And those who have are often flying blind, copying protocols from Reddit, dosing in "units" nobody understands, sourcing from grey markets.

New Zapiens just released the "Peptide Guide" with Dominik Duscher, a regenerative medicine expert, plastic surgeon, and Medical Director of RECOVER SOCIETY.

We don't care which brand you buy. We care that you understand what you're injecting.

It's a clinical-grade manual for understanding peptides across 5 domains:

↳ Longevity & Mitochondria 
Epithalon, MOTS-c, SS-31, FOXO4-DRI 
Cellular repair, energy optimization, senolytic strategies

↳ Immunology 
Thymosin α1, LL-37, KPV 
Immune modulation, inflammation control, post-infection recovery

↳ Recovery 
BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295 
Tissue healing, injury rehabilitation, performance recovery

↳ Body Recomposition 
Tesamorelin, IGF-1 LR3, AOD-9604 
Fat loss, muscle preservation, metabolic optimization

↳ Neuro/Sexual Medicine 
Kisspeptin, PT-141, Selank, Semax 
Cognitive enhancement, stress modulation, libido restoration

About the guide: 
↳ Clinical governance framework (not lifestyle hacks) 
↳ mg-based dosing protocols with reconstitution examples 
↳ Monitoring flows with specific biomarkers 
↳ WADA/regulatory context for each compound 
↳ Safety profiles with contraindications and stop criteria 
↳ Case vignettes showing real-world application 
↳ Zero vendor bias, pure education

The truth about peptides:
↳ They're NOT supplements—they're signaling molecules
↳ Quality matters more than dose
↳ Grey market = unacceptable risk
↳ No peptide replaces sleep, movement, or nutrition

Most guides sell you products. This one teaches you clinical reasoning.

How to claim yours: 
→ 1. Repost 
→ 2. Comment "Peptides" 
→ 3. I'll send you the guide (once we're connected)

––––

P.S. — This isn't a research paper, it's a clinical manual prioritizing actionable protocols over academic exhaustiveness: the mechanisms that matter, the doses that work in practice, and the safety guardrails that protect you.
