Home / Why people take peptides Why people take peptides

Everyone has a reason. No one deserves to be harmed by it.

The reasons people turn to peptides, what monitoring can show them, and the very different decisions they make once they see their own data.

CostThe licensed drug was too expensive
No prescriptionDid not meet the criteria, or no insurance

Ten profiles

What they took, what they saw, what they chose.

Some stopped. Some continued. Some changed what they were taking. The point is that every one of them could see what was happening and decide for themselves.

WeightCost

"After two children I could not shift the weight. The branded injection was not covered and cost too much every month, so I found a cheaper version online."

What monitoring showed

Her first check-ins showed days of vomiting and BioScales showed her body water falling. Her product was flagged as unverified.

What happened next

She stopped the online product and took her report to her own doctor, who prescribed a licensed medicine.

"I was exhausted all the time. A friend at the gym said a growth hormone peptide gave him his energy back."

What monitoring showed

Within three months his IGF-1 was above range and his blood sugar was creeping up.

What happened next

He stopped, and watched his glucose settle back to his baseline.

"I could not switch off at night and felt anxious all day. The peptide I read about is not approved here, so I ordered it from abroad."

Omar, 41Riyadh
