I didn’t write this book to get rich. I wrote it because I haven’t slept properly in months.
Every time I open my phone, I see it. I see good, well-meaning people injecting mystery liquids into their bodies because an influencer with a discount code told them it was “safe.” I see people buying from websites that were registered last Tuesday. I see certificates of analysis that were clearly edited in Microsoft Paint. More importantly the lack of concern about what people will blindly put in their body.
It gives me a pit in my stomach.
I know exactly where you are right now because I’ve been there. In psychology, they call it the Four Stages of Learning. When it comes to the peptide grey market, those stages aren’t just academic—they are the difference between healing your body and wrecking it.
Here is the hell I went through to get here, and why I’m handing you the roadmap for free.
(A.K.A. “Ignorance is Bliss”)
This was me at the beginning. I was naive. I thought, “Hey, this website looks professional, they have a secure checkout, and the bottle looks cool. It must be legit.”
I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I was unknowingly incompetent. I trusted the system. I assumed that if someone was selling something, there must be some regulations keeping me safe. I was confident, excited, and completely blind to the fact that I was playing Russian Roulette with my biology.
Most of you are here right now. It’s a comfortable place to be—until the chamber clicks.
(A.K.A. “The Panic Phase”)
This is the stage that keeps me up at night. This is when I started digging. I learned what a “Certificate of Analysis” actually was. I learned about heavy metals, endotoxins, and the sheer amount of bacteria that can live in a vial filled in a dirty basement.
I realized I knew nothing.
I looked at the vials in my fridge and realized I couldn’t verify a single one of them. I became painfully aware of my own incompetence. The anxiety hit me like a truck. I realized the “Wild West” wasn’t just a nickname; it was a reality. There were no sheriffs, only salesmen. I was scared to inject anything, and I should have been.
(A.K.A. “The Grind”)
This is where I got to work. I stopped trusting and started verifying.
I forced myself to learn the 6-Factor Protocol. I spent hours cross-referencing batch numbers. I emailed labs in the middle of the night to verify QR codes. I learned to spot the difference between ISO 17025 and a fake PDF.
I could navigate the market safely, but it took effort. I had to be hyper-vigilant. Every purchase was a research project. I was competent, but I had to think about every single step to ensure I didn’t slip up.
(A.K.A. “The Flow”)
This is where I am today. I can look at a vendor’s website and tell you within 30 seconds if they are a scam. I can glance at a lab report and spot a Photoshop job before I even zoom in. I don’t have to think about the safety protocols anymore because they are hardwired into my brain.
But this stage is a burden.
Because now, when I see you guys in Stage 1—excited and clueless—I know the cliff you are walking toward. I possess the knowledge to stay safe, but I can’t personally coach every single one of you through the minefield.
That is why I wrote “Peptide Grey Market Anxiety.”
I want to fast-track you from Stage 1 to Stage 4 without you having to go through the panic of Stage 2 or the grueling research of Stage 3. I did the heavy lifting so you don’t have to.
I am giving this book away because I want you to be safe. I want to sleep at night knowing that at least a few of you learned how to spot a fake before you put a needle in your skin.
Please enjoy my book. Read at your own risk. Practice on your own accord.
Let’s get one thing straight before we start.
I am not a doctor.
I am not a lawyer. I am not a chemist. I am not a financial advisor.
I am a guy who has spent way too much time reading ISO accreditation manuals because I have severe trust issues.
Nothing in this book is medical advice.
Nothing in this book is legal advice.
Nothing in this book is a recommendation to buy, sell, inject, or ingest anything.
Here is the reality of the situation:
The substances discussed in this book are classified as “Research Chemicals.” In many jurisdictions, they are not approved for human consumption. If you choose to inject unapproved substances into your body, you are acting as your own guinea pig. You are the researcher, and you are the subject.
If you screw this up, it is your fault.
If you buy from a shady vendor and lose your money, that is on you.
If you ignore the protocols in this book and inject dirty water into your leg, that is on you.
If you break the law in your specific country, state, or county, that is on you.
I wrote this book for Harm Reduction and Education. My goal is to show you how to read data so you don’t get scammed. What you do with that data is entirely your business.
I assume ZERO liability for your choices.
I assume ZERO liability for the vendors mentioned (or not mentioned).
I assume ZERO liability if the laws change five minutes after you read this.
You are an adult. You have decided to step outside the safety of the traditional medical system. That means you don’t get to blame the system—or me—if things go sideways.
Consult a medical professional. (Good luck finding one who knows what peptides are, but legally, I have to tell you to find one).
If you cannot accept total responsibility for your own biology, close this book and go see a GP.
For everyone else, turn the page.
