    Regulation

    The peptide market is rapidly expanding, with implications for regulation and accessibility. notes that while some peptides are covered by insurance, others remain in a gray market, accessible as research chemicals 4. The potential for heavy regulation looms as the market grows and peptides gain popularity 4.

    If you start seeing lots of articles about athletes getting busted for peptides, then of course that will be part of the whole machine.
