MOPs & MOEs

You asked for it, here it is: a peptides episode. These are the hotness lately, getting tons of business and media attention (and anecdotal reports from athletes). But we constantly hear that there is no human safety or effectiveness data. So what are well intentioned consumers to do? To answer that question we have Dr. Rachele Pojednic back on the pod, and she is uniquely suited to talk about this issue. Rachele is a renowned expert, researcher, international speaker and thought-leader in nutrition and exercise science. Her primary roles are Adjunct Lecturer at Stanford University and Chief Science Officer at RestoreLabs. We don't just look at the current science on peptides, we also dive into what structural challenges have prevented more research in this area. As it turns out, we may be in a moment where regulatory changes may create some big opportunities in the very near future. Rachele mentioned examine.com as a great resource for analysis and summaries on nutrition and supplement research. We also touched on a recent article in Task & Purpose where a Marine Corps lawyer claimed his client unknowingly took prohibited peptides thinking they were approved supplements.
