If you put it in a capsule, we'll call it a supplement.

So it's a really confusing sort of space and I think largely everyone's sort of going, don't want to know about it, don't want to know about it, don't want to know about it.

Very soon something will have to change.

It's happening too much.

It's unregulated in terms of what happens.

And there are potential side effects and I think those persons who are selling it online

It's funny, I get people who say, listen, I can get you this and I've got a mate who gets the good stuff.

I've never met one person who says, I've got a mate who gets the bad stuff.

We know through our studies in terms of what we do looking at these offline sort of peptides that there is major concerns in terms of contamination.

in terms of purity, whether they've got endotoxins inside, all of these circumstances or other substances that you really aren't very aware of.

There were a couple of cases in the States where one of the peptides was being laced with cocaine, clenbuterol, because it meant then that you would use their peptides because you know what?

You felt wonderful.

Wow.

So if we all believe that that may not be happening in this country, good luck.

What are you hearing here in Australia about where, because to me it seems that there's such an influx and so many people taking them and they're not seeing a medical doctor, they're not getting the baseline testing, they're not getting their biomarkers in order.

What is going on?

Bec, I think the biggest part is that, and there's two questions there.

There's one is why are people taking them?

And then two, what do you do while you're taking them?

And I think if I answer the second part first, that is if you're taking something in which we all know largely is experimental, we may have scientific knowledge as to what it's doing.
