Peptides: performance-boosting, anti-ageing drugs or dangerous snake oil?

Business To Business, London, 03 August 2025: For an increasing number of middle-aged men, aging is no longer solely about sagging skin, joint pain, or a slowing metabolism. Instead, many are turning to peptides—experimental injectable compounds—as a new frontier in health and fitness. These amino acid chains are touted to promote rapid recovery, fat loss, and muscle growth with the convenience of occasional injections, ranging from twice daily to weekly.
 
Once limited to elite laboratories and niche bodybuilding communities, peptides are now widely available in wellness circles, social media platforms, and online marketplaces. Marketed as “next-generation biohacks” and “research chemicals,” many of these peptides are not approved for human consumption and lack comprehensive clinical testing.
 
Despite this, their popularity continues to surge, driven by personal testimonials, influencer endorsements, and the appealing promise of reversing aging signs and enhancing physical performance.
