Search Engine · How Peptides Conquered the Internet · 13 Feb 2026 podcast

And so first of all, I think like a lot of anger with just like healthcare costs makes people go like there's something bad going on.

Or even when you ask like why haven't most peptides been used?

Why haven't they had any clinical trials done, right?

Like, why are there no clinical trials for BPC-157?

It's basically because it costs hundreds of millions of dollars to run clinical trials and get something FDA-approved.

And unless a drug is targeting a disease and it's easily patentable and you're going to have a moat as a pharma company, most pharma companies are not going to invest in extremely, extremely expensive clinical trials anymore.

And that is like a reality of the incentive.

So when people hear that, they sort of feel like it is rigged and the FDA, by requiring this $100 million process, is not going to allow me to take the things that I want.

So I think that's probably my best like steel man of the place that people are coming from.

I've been tempted, but I haven't done it.

So that's the short answer is I haven't tried any gray market peptides, though I am interested because I think that most people, when they're telling you a story about how taking BPC-157 or Ritatrutide or Epitalin changed their life, they're not actually trying to sell you something most of the time.

They're telling what is a real experience that they believe that they had and it did something for them.

You know, now the doctor part of my brain says, I mean, I'm not a doctor, but the doctors I've talked to says N of 1 is not a good experiment just because it worked for somebody else in a particular context.

Maybe it's a placebo.

Maybe it only worked for them.

Maybe if you have different health conditions, you're going to experience something very different.

And so as this stuff goes mainstream, that's something that does concern me just because there's a lot of young girls with eating disorders, young men trying to look better.

And I don't know that everyone has the ability or will do their research.

And so there is this sort of like the thing about do your own research is it offloads responsibility from the person chilling to the person doing the drug.

And I think a lot of people are going to
