We would like to hear your experience of using peptides for therapeutic purposes<\/p>\n
In recent years there has been a boom in interest in using peptides, from weight loss to anti-ageing and recovery from injury.<\/p>\n
These include approved prescription weight-loss medications based on synthetic peptides that mimic natural hormones. However, sales of experimental and unregulated peptides are rising as online sellers tout them as part of a \u201cwellness\u201d regime.<\/p>\n
Prof Channa Jayasena of Imperial College London, a consultant in reproductive endocrinology and andrology at Hammersmith and St Mary\u2019s hospitals, recently warned that the UK has become a \u201cwild west\u201d for people peddling experimental peptides, steroids and other substances.<\/p>\n
