The state is already heavily involved, many gray market peptide suppliers were shut down this year, but demand just went to the black market. This would be harder to stop than the illicit drug market that the government has also consistently failed to stop. It’s so cheap that I’ve stockpiled many years supply so there is little worry about lack of availability for whoever needs it.

I turned to peptides because of how slow research has been, my medical condition (hEDS) has been known about since Hippocrates yet still no official treatments, so it’s not reasonable to expect one any time soon. Gray/black was my only option and will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future.

A lot of what we know about peptides comes from athletes cheating in sports and they’ve been doing it, some of them abusing it, for decades so the long term effects are not completely unknown. And this includes the GLP1As and the various combo stacks. Some people naturally have excesses of signaling peptides through genetic variation so they’re another good source of long term effects.

Of the things gay people inject into each other, ozempic is probably one of the safer options.

What are the peptides you're using for hEDS?

BPC157/TB5, IPA/CJC-NoDac, VIP, and Semaglutide (ozempic). Semaglutide was the most effective long term for autoimmune but the others really helped with CCI and other physical ailments. I take a combo of modafinil in the morning and amitryptiline at night as a treatment for dysautonomia and dopamine dysregulation. I started Low Dose Naltrexone and supplemental T3 hormone and this is a good place for most with hEDS to start with.

If you don't mind sharing, which symptoms abated with the use of these peptides? Email in profile if you feel you'd share only in private.

The worst for me was the chronic fatigue with a strong brain fog component, pretty much all of my symptoms have abated, I still have a residual general anxiety disorder and I still get post exertional malaise so I avoid doing anything that'll take my heart rate over 150. I had pretty much all the standard hEDS symptoms though not as much MCAS and I'm very hypermobile.
