Peptides Are Fake Or Dangerous | Tech News

Peptides are exploding in popularity—people are buying them from bodegas for weight loss and muscle repair. We bought four kinds in Brooklyn for $370, sent them to a lab, and got shocking results: none contained the active ingredients they were labeled for. This isn’t isolated—there’s a booming underground industry selling fake or degraded peptides, some inert like saline, others potentially dangerous. Labs are seeing more “dud” results, likely from the same shady suppliers. Peptides are temperature-sensitive, so improper storage ruins them. The FDA warns against selling research-only products to consumers, but enforcement is weak. For some, it’s just lost cash—but for others, it’s a real health risk in a lawless market.
