injecting anything that isn't prescribed and regulated (like insulin) shows how uneducated we are as a country. if peptides work, pharma companies would be selling them for profit (like glp-1's and testosterone)

Sending them to a startup is not great. Should have been sent to an established lab.

Peptides are not amino acids. They are made of amino acids. They chains of amino acids.

Wow, I wish they’d done a broader test like LC-MS/MS to see what was actually in the vial, not just whether the peptide showed up.
