⚠️ Seeing peptide companies suddenly shutting down? Here’s why it matters for your health
Peptides Are Powerful — and They Should Be Treated Like Medicine
Recently, a popular online peptide supplier announced they are shutting down operations and discontinuing their research products.
This highlights something we’ve been educating patients about for years:
💉 Peptides are not supplements.
They act in the body like medications and should be prescribed and monitored by a medical provider.
Many peptides sold online are labeled “for research purposes only.” That label means they are not regulated for human use, and purity, dosing, and safety may be uncertain. I recently chatted with a local pharmacist and they said they had been buying peptides online to run sterility test and it was scary what was actually in the peptides people were purchasing online.
I have personally seen patients in the hospital with infective endocarditis, which is an infection in your heart valves from injecting harmful bacteria into their bloodstream, which can come from unsterile peptides
