Because there are a lot of people out there actually doing quite a bit of damage to themselves.

There was a big article, I think it was front page of The Age, talking about some of the peptide disasters.

And yeah, we thought because everyone's talking about it, we want to give everyone the best medically informed education about

where we're at now and what's going on in this peptide world.

So peptides are everywhere, but for people listening, yeah, who have absolutely no idea what they are, what actually is a peptide?

Yeah.

So a peptide is a chain of amino acids, generally less than 30 amino acids, if you will, which are for large part signaling sort of circumstances.

So you currently have circulating somewhere towards 200,000 peptides in you right now, which are always signaling your cells.

Largely, these natural peptides have very, very, very short half-lives.

So they have a half-life of 30 minutes, which for people who don't understand what the reference range for that means, it means that within your bloodstream, they're gone inside two, two and a half hours.

Eliminated from your body probably inside two days.

So you make them, you use them, they're gone.

Undetectable.

You make them, you break them.

Undetectable.

And are they made by all different parts of your body?

All different parts of your body.

All systems.

That's how they communicate.

Correct.
