The Peptide Honeymoon Needs to End.

BPC-157: big “healing” claims, no solid human tissue-repair data.
Tesamorelin: a real drug, but for HIV-associated lipodystrophy, not “belly fat” for everyone.

“Insulin and GLP-1 work, so peptides work” is a logic trap. Evidence doesn’t transfer by category.

If it’s “research peptides,” you’re not buying medicine, you’re buying a supply chain: unknown purity, dose, and sterility. Best case: nothing. Worst case: harm.

Ask two questions: Where are the human trials for that claim? What’s in the vial?
