2 Congressman from Indiana (home of Eli Lilly) sponsored legislation to place strong limits on access to compounded GLP-1 medications. Sign the petition to express your desire to keep compounding pharmacies free from regulations restricting access to peptides. https://c.org/4gv8qKVNKN The federal SAFE Drugs Act refers to a piece of proposed U.S. legislation introduced in Congress in December 2025 known as the “Safeguarding Americans from Fraudulent and Experimental (SAFE) Drugs Act of 2025.” It is not yet law, but it represents a legislative effort focused on tightening the safety and oversight of certain drug practices. Here’s the essence of what it’s about: This bill, introduced by Representatives Rudy Yakym and André Carson, aims to protect patients from unsafe compounded medications. Compound drugs are those created by pharmacies to meet the specific needs of individual patients — say a liquid form for someone who can’t swallow pills — but some compounded products have been mass-produced and distributed in ways that bypass the standard Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process. According to the sponsors and supporters, that can expose patients to untested and potentially hazardous medications. The SAFE Drugs Act would likely: - Increase FDA oversight and reporting requirements for compounded drugs so that regulators have better visibility into what is being made and where it’s going. - Raise safety standards to reduce the likelihood that unapproved or unsafe compounded medications reach patients. - Restore transparency and accountability in that segment of the drug supply chain that has grown rapidly without uniform federal controls. In simple terms, the bill’s core goal is to make sure that when a drug is created outside the usual FDA approval pathways — especially at scale — there are stronger safeguards so Americans aren’t exposed to fraudulent or experimental medications without proper testing and oversight.

The first episode of Derek's Declassified Research Survival Guide just dropped, and we're starting with a conversation that challenges everything most people think about using peptides for weight loss. I dropped a sneak peek of the podcast below - check it out and let me know what you think 👇 I sat down with @Laura PepFitCoach , a holistic peptide coach who spent years in the pharmaceutical industry and military before discovering the truth: peptides are tools, not magic bullets. Here's what we unpacked: ✅ The 3-Phase Framework - Why starting with peptides without a proper foundation sets you up to fail ✅ Exit Strategies - The most overlooked part of peptide therapy. What happens when you come off? How do you maintain results? ✅ The Nutrition Reality - You can't out-peptide a bad diet. Laura breaks down why nutrient density and proper eating habits matter more than the compound itself ✅ Metabolic Damage - How crash dieting and bodybuilding-style approaches destroy your metabolism and what to do instead ✅ The Mental Game - Both of us share our transformation stories (my 70lb journey, her 50lb COVID gain) and the psychological work required for lasting change Huge shoutout to Laura for being incredibly transparent about her journey and methodology. This is the kind of real, educational content this community deserves. This episode reinforced what we talk about here every day: education over hype, foundation over shortcuts, sustainability over quick fixes. 🎧 LISTEN NOW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2lcU2zkYIG255aGk0aIJjW?si=kIAm0BT3QCiClyHj-372KQ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Derberfn Substack (Full Podcast): https://open.substack.com/pub/derekpruski/p/why-you-cant-out-peptide-a-bad-diet?r=4jq1x8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Big shoutout to Jeff, the owner of SouthernAminos! I just received the Neuroluxe peptide, and I’m genuinely excited to put it to the test on my lab rat. The blend looks super promising, and full disclosure,Neuroluxe might be addictive after the first vial for your rat lol. On top of that, Jeff went above and beyond and he even included a candy treat (because who doesn’t love a little lollipop with their science?) and thoughtful packaging with vial covers to prevent any broken vials during shipping. That attention to detail really earns my respect 👏🙌🔥 I’ll be diving into my rat experiment over the next week, and I’ll share my experience soon. Stay tuned and you might just catch me geeking out over some peptides . Keep in mind everything is research purpose only. Please share your lab rat experience with Neuroluxe in the comments🙏🏽

Does anyone have favorable experience with AOD-9604?

I’ve heard that carderine is really good for running endurance but that there is a cancer risk. How risky actually is it and are there other peptides that are good for distance running?
