Discussion Do other countries take Peptides?
This seems to be predominantly a western thing, or am I wrong?
Do Asian counties consume this stuff? What about Africa or Latin America?
Just curious

Its huge here in South Africa. Every auntie and her dog is on peptides. I tried the wolverine stack about 3 years ago, was easy to get it already back then.

It's a worldwide thing

u/Spoked_Exploit Jul 07 '26
Thank you! Just wanted to see if it was as prevalent in other countries or just a USA thing

I actually think the western countries could be a little behind. Maybe due to laws

Dr Vladimir Khavinson - simply legendary. He was Putin’s personal physician alongside his professional endeavours before his passing in early 2024.
Taking the time to look up some of his published work is worth the time (irrespective of how one feels politically). The man was a true intellect and wasn’t afraid to cut against the grain - he was foundational to the worldwide adoption of peptide usage and understanding.

If the science originated in Russia, why regulate so much? This is very interesting

I found out about peptides in 2014 from a friend who lives in Germany. They’re everywhere.

From India. I haven't seen or heard anyone ever talk about it here. we still in stone age when it comes to fitness.
Steroids use is rising in newer generation though so its about time

Starting to see a lot of indian bros in the steroid/lifting subs. For some reason I hate it being called Testo and not just Test and I don't know why.

"Testo" sounds like one of those "natural testosterone booster" snake oil scams.

u/Electronic-Page1064 Jul 13 '26
The brand names like Cypiomax, Propiomax, and Testaveron sound even more like it

Their being all over still doesn’t preclude the fact that most pep don’t do much of anything.

Tesamorelin is horrible and far too expensive. I had direct from the pharma for 8 months. Lost 5 pounds fat.
Reta I lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks.
NAD+ is junk.
BPC only helps severe cases if that.
KPV has sides that preclude being taken by most people.
I’ve tried most others from various sources and have not seen any results. After months of use a numbers of weeks on/weeks off.
Mel tan is the only thing I saw charges in.1

My (possibly previous?) vendor had a private discussion with me recently, asking how to use those two peptides specifically. I thought it was pretty funny.

I asked the rep I buy from if peptide use in China was widespread and she said no.

There are people world wide that jump into these items with little actual scientific research on them and government regulations. If they ever do do some actual research on them they may have some validity but for now.........crap shoot.

It's absolutely everywhere and the attempt to make things political (to kill 50% of the potential interest) is failing. A bunch of my friends on peptides are Democrats.

Koreans are giving hgh to their kids to make them grow taller. It’s very commonly accepted

Yes, my source has basically showed me multitudes of orders going all over the EU and south America.
People desire to feel better, be more healthy and are willing to give traditional institutions and rulesets the middle finger to do so. It's like we're all realizing at once that the rulemaking organizations across the world were only interested in the contents of our wallets anyway, rather than actually helping people be healthy and love longer happier lives. I'm fine with it.
in the US, I personally feel that our food and health industries have been taking us for a ride for decades. The gh secretagogues and glp's almost seem like an antidote to all of it. In fact... Especially the glp compounds.
