This looks maxing.

Oh, wow.

So we're back to med school.

I describe them as if you put together lots of little short chains, you make a peptide.

There are some peptides people would know, like ozempic or semaglutide or insulin.

Yes.

What we're talking about, though, is these unregulated products that people can go and get from a website.

Some health professionals are actually importing them and giving them to patients.

And they're unregulated.

So Tim, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, the TGA, have in the last two weeks seized, they say, more than 900,000 units of unlawfully imported therapeutic goods.

That includes things like nicotine pouches and these peptides that we're talking about.

Are we really behind the eight ball when it comes to regulation in Australia?

Like how are people accessing these so readily when we don't even know what's in them?

How are the other people getting it?

So do we have a sense of peptides?

So if they're tested, how many of those actually contain what they say they do?

And Tim, just to be clear here, when you said compounded before, these peptides are compounded, it might not necessarily be in a chemist, the setting that we envision.

It could be in someone's home, in a thermomix, in any environment.

Is that what we're saying?

It could be Norman in his kitchen.
