"Peptides have been touted as a way to slow down ageing, improve muscle strength, speed up recovery after an injury and improve your mood."
"One type, called the semaglutides, include Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. They are being used by millions of people for diabetes and weight loss."
"The latest member, retatrutide, has been given the nickname "Godzilla" because it is considered the monster of weight-loss peptides."
"If you take an unregulated drug, you might as well be a lab rat, considering the side-effects"
Peptides are promoted for slowing aging, improving muscle strength, speeding recovery after injury, and improving mood. Semaglutides such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are used by millions for diabetes and weight loss. A newer peptide, retatrutide, is nicknamed “Godzilla” for its reputation as a powerful weight-loss option. Using unregulated drugs is compared to being a lab rat because of potential side effects. The contrast highlights that while some peptides are widely used, unregulated versions raise safety concerns and increase the risk of harmful outcomes.
