Everyone's turning to peptides right now, since they've seen others who they believe have gotten unimaginable results from them.

I'll go over multiple peptides, and rate the cost, effectiveness and underline the benefits, risks and mention any possible side effects - this will be followed by a short conclusion.

Please keep in mind that the side effects mentioned are only a possibility and will not happen for some people.

Very nice thread,but most peptides like GHRPs are cope and in my opinion the only ones saving you in some aspect are the social nootropics and tanning peptides.
