Your beginner-friendly guide to smarter, safer peptide use.
I have compiled hours of extensive research, first-hand experience, and compiled everything you need to know into one place.
With 50 lessons, going in-depth, there is no way you'll leave confused.
If you've been curious about peptides and have no clue where to start, this is the best investment you can make.
Wanna get a taste of what's inside? Here are some previews that I've pulled directly out of the Peptide Playbook.
Everything is written to be easy to understand, in-depth, and easy to follow along step-by-step.
“Gauge” (abbreviated as “G”) measures the needle’s diameter, aka, how thick or thin the pointy part is. In other words, it measures the size of the hole in the needle.
The gauge system is inverse; a larger number means a smaller diameter. For example, a 30-gauge needle is smaller than a 25-gauge needle.
Slightly thicker than 31g — but still very small.
Pros:
Easier to push thicker solutions through
Feels a little more sturdy in the hand
Great for most peptides
Less likely to bend
Cons:
Slightly more sensation than 31g, but still very mild
Can bruise a tiny bit more for some people
Feels like: Small pinch, barely noticeable for most

Wash your hands
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water
Dry your hands using a clean paper towel (not a hand towel, as that harbours bacteria)
Set up your workspace
Wipe down your surface with an alcohol wipe or disinfectant
Lay out your supplies
Sterile 29G 1mL syringes (still sealed in their pouch)
Each syringe should only be used once, so if you need to reconstitute with 3mL, you should have 3 syringes
Alcohol prep pads
Peptide vial (powder)
BAC water
Small container for trash
Prepare the vials
Take the peptide vial and the BAC vial out of their packaging
If there are flip-off caps on the tops, pop those off to expose the rubber stoppers
Dispose of caps and packaging
Sanitize vials
Wipe the rubber stopper and the surrounding tops with an alcohol pad
Do this for the peptide and the BAC water
Each one should get a new alcohol pad
Discard alcohol pads
Open your sterile syringes
Take the syringes (needles) out of their sealed pouches (leave the orange caps for now)
Discard pouches
Each syringe has orange caps
One that covers the needle
One that covers the plunger

Function: Skin Repair, Collagen Boost, Inflammation Reduction
GLOW is usually a blend (varies by supplier) but commonly includes peptides like GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and TB-500 that target skin, inflammation, and tissue repair.
Topical skincare works on the surface.
GLOW works underneath, at the level where:
collagen is made
inflammation starts
healing happens
texture and bounce form
It’s like upgrading your skin from the foundation, not just the surface
(Not medical claims — just typical user reports)
clearer, brighter skin
reduced inflammation or redness
faster healing from breakouts
more “bounce” and elasticity
tighter-looking skin
improved texture
healthier glow
fewer new scars or marks
After being on GLOW for 7 weeks, here are the notes I have:
I struggled with acne, scarring, and texture my whole life. I have a huge skincare routine. I also understand that as a woman with a menstrual cycle, some phases of my cycle are going to affect my skin more than others. But GLOW has made me look and feel amazing every day. It’s like ovulation week every week, where my skin is just glowy and bright and smooth and tight. If you know, you know.
I have seen improvements in:
Skin tightness/elasticity
Smoothness
Dewy/glow
Smaller pores / less deep acne scars
Improvements in overall tone and texture
I have been a thousand times more confident about going out without makeup on, and I noticed that I am getting complimented very frequently about my skin.
GLOW was the first peptide I ever tried. There are no bad side effects (for me), and the results are incredible.
