Are peptides worth it to start?

[nutrition_110]

I'm 22 years old and have been seeing a lot of information about peptides. Are there any benefits to starting them at a young age? I'm looking to try to put on as much muscle as possible.

I don't think anyone could give you a concrete answer on that. Most peptides have little to no human data on them. Even BPC 157 and TB 500 are questionable. I would say in your situation stay with the proven. Eat, sleep, train, ensure your diet is aligned with your goals of losing our gaining weight and be consistent, then be consistent some more, then be consistent even more. Creatine as the primary supp. Leave the peptides for when you have money to burn. JMO

We have 20 years of the bodybuilding community using them, that's quite a large amount of human data that applies directly to us instead of test tube and lab rat studies.

The healing peptides are concrete, doctors prescribe them now also. You can get them filled through a compounding pharmacy.

But I still agree with you that for the most part, you save the peptides when you have money to burn or you have a very particular thing that you need done.

There's like 11 million peptides that do 11 million different things, how can anybody answer this question, and I don't mean that to be a dick I just mean literally there's not even really a question to be answered. You might want to be a little more specific.

I've seen you make a lot of threads with a lot of random questions and it's hard to figure out what you're trying to actually achieve. Could you maybe let us know what your goals are and what you're currently doing at the moment for diet and training?

I second the motion- look at your training, nutrition, sleep for the best bang for your buck performance wise.
At your age you don't need GHRH as your hormones are optimized.

One other item- make sure you spend several years of training building your foundation before adding Test or anabolics.
