In this video, I take a deep dive into the world of peptides to find out which ones actually live up to the hype. I break down the science behind popular fat loss peptides like semaglutide, injury recovery peptides like BPC-157, and anti-aging peptides like epitalon, looking at what works, what the risks are, and where the evidence falls short.
