Folks! Let’s talk peptides. They’re all the rage in the health space right now. You’ve probably seen them around, or even have a family member on a GLP-1 (yep, those are peptides too). I’ve spent a lot of time digging into them over the last year. There’s a ton of noise out there, so here are my top 3 recommendations: 1. Most peptides have very limited human trial data. Know what you’re getting into before adding anything to your health stack. 2. Find a doctor who actually knows this space. The GP you’ve seen for 20 years probably doesn’t. Happy to share a few names I like. 3. If your doctor prescribes a peptide, it should come from a licensed pharmacy, and you should still know how to read the COA (Certificate of Analysis). Here’s what I look for: • An independent third-party lab • A batch or lot number that matches your vial • Purity of 98% or higher (HPLC testing) • Identity confirmed by mass spec, so you know it’s the right compound • Endotoxin and sterility testing for anything injectable • A recent test date Peptides are a tool, not a shortcut. If your sleep, training, and nutrition aren’t dialed in, no vial is going to fix that. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦. 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.
