So these are peptides for studies, like in mice or petri dishes.
These are not peptides for people.
Quality control can be a really big issue.
And I'm told that these substances might include solutions or contaminants that are toxic.
Yeah, I mean, people aren't getting medical advice on how much of the peptide they should use or for how long they should take it the way you would talk to a doctor or a pharmacist who would advise you on how to use a certain medication.
And now, you know, there are some physicians who prescribe peptides for things like inflammation.
Their patients will get peptides from compounding pharmacies, but depending on the peptide, these compounding pharmacies may be providing unregulated drugs.
And I mean, with peptides, there are just so many layers of people doing things that are unsafe or maybe not legal, which is why there are calls for the Food and Drug Administration to get involved and create some guardrails.
Recently, FDA signed has recommended that these peptides should not be made available to the general public because of a lack of evidence.
Basically, they have the same concerns that Paul does, that biologist I mentioned earlier.
And the problem is when you have a moratorium on something that a lot of people want, they're going to do it anyways and likely go to the black or gray market where products are of lower quality.
OK, so gray market peptides, by the way, are peptides that are explicitly labeled for research or non-human consumption.
But people are using them as medication where black market peptides are counterfeit or illegal in some other way.
This happened in the 1920s during Prohibition.
Right.
Yeah.
So some experts argue it just makes sense to be pragmatic and find ways to mitigate the danger.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, condoms, for example, can be considered harm reduction.
Wearing a helmet when you ride a motorcycle, giving sterile needles to people who use illicit drugs, that's obviously harm reduction.
