    Safety of Peptides

    Is taking peptides really safe? There seems to be many people taking them. Some people seem to be taking hormones instead of peptides. What is the difference between the two? Well I know technically a peptide is considered to be an enzyme but other than that what might the difference between the two be? Can someone explain the advantages of one over the other? I am a little confused.

    Wow, thanks for the information you are really well versed with your information. You must be an endocrinologist or something. I did not know there was so much to know in regard to peptides. However some on here seem to use them for tanning. Obviously they aren't strictly for fitness.

    Unfortunately, the research on peptides isn't nearly as vast as that of AAS. But it seems like as long as you do it right and take the right precautions it can be relatively safe, much like AAS.

    I would say that peptides are indeed safe. There has been a lot of research surrounding them and a lot of ideas have been tossed around the scientific community regarding them.

    One study in 2000 indicates that peptides do not cause cancer, citing :

    "Some cancers do produce these peptides, particularly the CJC-1295. If you put an end blocker, an antagonist of this peptide into those cells growing in culture, you can slow the growth of the tumour down. However, nobody's shown that giving injections of this stuff promotes cancer."

    That being said, it is always wise to exercise caution regarding these sort of things. Consult your doctor if you have any further questions about peptide specifics!

    I have tried both AAS and peptides. And I think that peptides are safer in terms of side effects.

    The problem is that doctors doesn't know much about peptides.. As most of them are illegal for human consumption

    I have tried peptides and AAS as well and they work for me. I guess it is just being careful with what you take in your body. It is more of being aware of what you benefit from it and what might be the side effects. If you think that there are more side effects that good results, then stop using it.

    I have been using peptides and have not noticed side effects yet. I have heard much talk of how some people got affected by this but I am not long using them so not concerned about that now.

    When we use them wisely I agree that there aren't side effects. We just need to follow the prescription correctly and take the correct dosages, if we do so we will be fine.

    Well, I can tell you from my own experience of taking peptides. I have used them for quite a while and I have never experienced any serious side effects.

    I can also advise to check the journal section here on the site to see first hand testimonies, they can be really helpful in showing the benefits as well as side effects.

    Peptides is really safe to use. It is even safer comapred to human growth hormone. The only thing you have to remember is not to overdose yourself with peptides to avoid those unwanted side effects. If you use it according to the right dose to take, then there should be no problem at all.

    Yes, peptides is safe to use. Though you might encounter some side effects (such as growing man boobs), it is really safe and effective. Hgh is its expensive alternative. It can bring results faster than peptides. However, it has more possible side effects. Someone even said that once you overdose yourself with hgh, there is a possibility of increased cancer risk. Nonetheless, I, myself, am not sure about that.

    I have been using peptides for almost 4 years now and I have not experienced anything to be concerned of. Yes, there were times before when I suffer from headaches, but I think it was just because my body was not yet used to the drug. Now, I don't experience anything at all aside from its benefits.

    11 years of using hgh and I don't feel anything wrong with my body. In fact, I am so much better now compared to the time when I was not yet using hgh. I feel stronger and younger now despite my old age. With regard to peptides and hgh, both are used for burning fat and toning the body. However, with hgh, you can notice improvements much faster than peptides. On the other side, peptides is much more affordable.

    Peptides are basically amino acids. They have become really popular nowadays. It's not just for muscle building and fat burning I have heard of some peptides that aids in Hair growth. Taking peptides has been very controversial, but, so far it has been safe for me. You need to bear in mind that there are side effects as with any other medicine or supplements.
