peptides, azempic is a type of peptide, from the research chemical market, biohackers started exploring what other sorts of magic pills might there be out there.

If we can do one shot for weight loss, maybe we can do another shot for sleep, another shot for happiness, another shot for getting smarter and more productive.

And so people have started experimenting with all sorts of injectable peptides.

Again, the vast majority of them having no human clinical trial evidence with the exception of the GLP-1s.

Yeah.

So peptides are a pretty broad class of chemical.

It's basically a short chain of amino acids.

So think like a mini baby protein.

A lot of peptides occur naturally in the body.

So oxytocin or insulin is a type of peptide.

Of course, that's one that we do have lots of evidence for.

But I think because it is such a broad category, people have been extrapolating from the success of proven peptides like insulin or

Ones like semaglutide, GLP-1s, to all sorts of these other amino acids where we haven't really studied the effects.

We're not exactly sure how they work, but folks are trying all sorts of things.

Yeah.

I think that that was a fascinating turn of phrase.

It caught my eye too.

So I think that when people see that a technology, whether it's a pharmaceutical like

a Zenpe, or whether it's even something like you can just door dash food to your door instead of going out and getting it, that is very, very appealing.

I think a lot of folks, especially very busy people, whether because-
