    I know people who are popping tons of peptide shit, and it’s ‘fine’ because “it’s all amino acids”.

    “Peptide” is just such a general term, like insulin is a fucking peptide, lots of things are peptides

    A lot of what people are taking, are legit roids, even if they are also peptides.

    The problem is, people take these unregulated supplements and then “feel amazing”. Their energy and focus levels increase. But they don’t think about the side effects.

    Yep, crack makes you feel amazing too, feeling amazing is honestly usually a bad thing.

    no snake oil supplements

    Bro…

    The dangerous part about this shit is it’s not snake oil. Snake oil was largely inert, they might be cocaine or morphine in it, but it was in everything back then.

    People are taking serious drugs that do serious things, with no medical professionals involved, their just ordering this shit off the Internet on their own

      Yeah, I mean ‘snake oil’ as a term for bullshit/fake. But fair point about his this shit is a lot not dangerous than real snake oil.
