Is this something you can actually measure? Or is it just an expensive and complicated source of warm fuzzies?

- kevviiinn 4y agoI don't know man can you measure the effects of any other drug? Why do you think these are somehow different? Did you even read the wikipedia article I linked? The peptide I mentioned is banned by the world doping agency, but it's probably because it just gives athletes a warm fuzzy feeling right? At this point your comments seem intentionally disingenuous
- rbanffy 4y ago> I don't know man can you measure the effects of any other drug? I can measure my blood sugar and my blood pressure quite simply and that is what ensures me the medication I take is working.
- kevviiinn 4y agoYes, the question was rhetorical.
- rbanffy 4y agoThere are subjective effects that are much harder to measure though, and these peptide injections fall into that area, as there are numerous environmental and genetic factors one would need to control for.
- kevviiinn 4y agoYou say "these" like all peptides are in the category. I'm talking about ones like the one I mentioned earlier. Sure there are some ineffective peptides but there are also ineffective drugs. A peptide banned from sport by the world doping agency is not something with subjective effects
- SturgeonsLaw 4y agoWhen people read "protein" they think food, however proteins can have physiological effects on the body. Human growth hormone, snake venom and insulin are all proteins, and they do far more than just provide nutrients. Peptides are just small chain proteins, so the same rules apply.
