- People inject peptides - short chains of amino acids - for gym gains, better skin, and sharper focus.
- Social media has over 250,000 TikTok videos pushing them, but most lack strong science backing.
- Doctors warn these trendy shots are often unregulated and risky without medical advice.
Peptide therapy is exploding on platforms like TikTok, where influencers hype injectable peptides for fitness, skin glow, and mental clarity. It matters because hype is outpacing science, turning users into self-experimenters with unproven, unregulated products.
