But it's also not going to shut down your own body's endogenous production of growth hormone. So there's a natural piece to it that I agree gives them a profile that can be safer. But there's also a point where we're kind of like, it's almost like you're bumping to the front of the line and you're flipping a switch.

And, you know, there's checks and balances in the body that you're maybe you're you're going getting past. So, for example, you've got the melanotan peptides, which are very well known in the bodybuilding world. What's cool about melanotan peptides is that they are. Number one, they can give you a 10 with very little to no sun exposure. That's a big one.

Number two, they actually also have some metabolic effects, right? They suppress appetite, meaning if you use too much, you're going to get super nauseous, which is not necessarily what we want for building. But if we're a couple of weeks out from competition and we're in a process of cutting, that could be a really handy tool, right? But, you know, they also have antimicrobial properties.

They also have anti-inflammatory properties. All really cool. But there might be a little possibility that nobody's really fully elucidated yet that there could be a problem in someone who's had a history of melanoma. of overstimulating those melanocytes, those cells in the body that produce pigment.

But there might be a little possibility that nobody's really fully elucidated yet that there could be a problem in someone who's had a history of melanoma. of overstimulating those melanocytes, those cells in the body that produce pigment.

And so there have been not very many, but there have been probably a couple of cases where people who had a history of melanoma had a reoccurrence after using a melanotan peptide. Really? Now, did it cause the cancer to come back or did it just drive the resurfacing faster? Nobody knows the answer to that question, but that gives us pause.

That means we can't run around saying, oh, you could just use this. It's fine. Right. It's safe. Then you've got another one like BPC-157, which is body protective compound 157, which is the workhorse of the peptide world because it is great for healing the gut. It is really great for for promoting healing of soft and hard tissues.

It is really great for for promoting healing of soft and hard tissues.

So tendons, ligaments, muscle, bone, all of these things regenerate and heal faster when you're using BPC-157, which is why if you're an athlete, using BPC-157 can help you recover faster in between workouts so that you can train harder more often. It's also really good for wound healing. It has properties for healing burns or eyes. It's got neuroprotective properties. It...

supposedly helps to balance the serotonergic, dopaminergic, and GABAergic centers in the brain. So it helps to balance neurotransmitters. Now, here's the really interesting kicker that not too many people like to talk about. There's a small set of the population that instead of helping them to be more balanced in their neurotransmitters, it actually messes them up.

It makes them anxious or angry and gives them anhedonia, which means they don't feel pleasure anymore. So we don't know why and we don't know who those people are. So it means that you don't get to run around saying BPC-157 can be used by anybody anytime because there's no side effects. Right. So we we need to you know, it's the thing with peptides is they're so it's so tempting to make them sexy.

It's so tempting to run around and say people. Oh, and and it's true that I mean, I've seen incredible healing. with peptides, but we need to keep the nuance in the conversation and try to stay away from those sexy sound bites because, especially because they're available through research labs still.
