Clearly they have effects. Heck insulin is a peptide. And pretty sure it has a benefit for those with diabetes. Dismissing peptides outright is just as silly as thinking peptides are the solution to everything

How is insulin a peptide? Insulin is a giant folded protein

		Seems like it is very much on the edge of categories thus fits both. And it really is not a giant as proteins go and instead is on smaller end.

You also wouldn't want to randomly inject yourself with insulin outside of medical supervision, because it can kill you pretty quick.

Injecting poorly-studied grey market peptides seems like a bad idea.
