And it was like, you talk about capitalism and health, it's like these people grouping together, buying these things direct from China, sending them out for testing, like this whole kind of community aspect of it was like pretty...

Like there was something like kind of beautiful about it, to be honest, of like people trying to help each other to get these things safely and send them out for the testing and like all that.

But that little community effort feels like it's going to go away and it's going to come in with all of these, you know, DTC brands and all these people who are going to be stepping on it, making a bunch of margin.

It's going to be, and like, I don't know what the CAC is going to be for people trying to buy, you know, ads for their peptides once this drops, but like, it's going to be really interesting to see what they have to spend to acquire a customer.

And it might be the same person making five brands.

It's not even the same supplier.

Yeah.

Oh, then there's the premium one.

And then you can create your own controversy on the Reddit floor because you just look like you're talking about a couple different brands.

Yes.

But like, dude, this is like, this is the thing that's also scary about this.

Like one, there's the whole purity and like, you know, quality side.

And like, look, I love that we, we really have stuck to the supplements because we've, we really feel like we're providing the right layer of consumer protection on it.

Like,

You know, we're not saying government should regulate this stuff.

We can do it in a free market and like be good actors.

But this like next frontier, it's also like these compounds also can be very, I mean, you know, the history on these things, the side effects and the effects are like not a joke.

You take the wrong dose of some of these things or even the right dose for your genetics and like, you know, real, real bad stuff can happen.

I'm scared of, like, even, you know, some of this looks-maxing stuff that's been in the zeitgeist now, too.

I worry about the mental health of some of these kids, too.
