medicated laundry detergent

Your garments smell fresh from the laundry, so it is possible there are milligrams of purposeful chemical residues. Peptide drugs are effective at micrograms or less. Put peptide drugs in laundry detergent to prevent diesease and make people live longer
One possible contact peptide is AEDG, epitalon,
which prevents cancers (among these breast cancer) in mice and makes them live longer. Others might create laundry polypill with other peptides.
think of the absorption rate on underwear!

This is an excellent idea. Admittedly, you'd have to find a way to stop the peptides being digested by the proteases in most current washing powders; and then you'd have to find a completely original way to make peptides migrate through your skin; and also have to regulate washing powders in the same way that the drugs themselves would be regulated. But, other than that, there are only a few additional problems. |

Ah, hang on. The statement "peptide drugs are effective at micrograms or less" is for the most part wrong, with a very, very few exceptions. It's also worth noting that mice are considerably smaller than humans, so even epithalon would need to be delivered in tens-of-milligram quantities to achieve the same concentration. But other than that, no problems. |

And what Ian said. It's just irritating. |
|
| |
Ditto on what Max and Ian said. |
|
| |
Wouldn't most active peptides be locally acting so small amounts would be normal? The biggest problem here being the galactic travel and survival ability from undies to target cell machinery. |
|
| |
Maybe via nose capillaries then there would be a good reason to sniff undies. |

Leads one to wonder how many household products are laced with skin-absorptive addictive substances. |

I thought skin was pretty much impermeable - isn't
that largely the whole point of skin? If skin was
easily permeable you'd drown in the shower. |
|
| |
//I thought skin was pretty much impermeable// Some things will perm it. You can always add DMSO to stuff - makes skin permeable to a good number of things. |
|

"" One possible contact peptide is AEDG, epitalon, which prevents cancers (among these breast cancer) in mice and makes them live longer. "" |
|
| |
Can you put the AEDG in a spray can ? Or maybe aerosol ? |
|
| |
That would make it easier to get the stuff on the tiny bras that mice wear. |

I got in the habit of duplicating the summary in the first paragraph, because spellcheck doesn't work on the summary part at least in my hopeless old computer. So I won't do that as much, but I am still a hopeless speller. And would just drive past any Halfbakery spelling bee. |

actually some peptides are used to hasten the transport of drugs at the dermis. [link] so a couple peptides might be better. |
|
| |
Ah, that explains all the Tide commercials then. |
|
| |
//some peptides are used to hasten the transport of drugs at the dermis// Yes, but it's no good transporting them at the dermis. They need to go through the epidermis and also through the dermis, if they're supposed to be having a systemic effect. |
