Peptides: How they work and why would a player use them?

This is amazing! Peptides can be very useful to athletes as they are of big help to heal quickly and be productive soon after an injury an athlete had been experienced. Peptides will help the muscle or soft tissue in this rebuilding healing process. I am no an expert but if you want for the best advice please talked to the health expert at www.http://www.peptides-australia.net.au/.

There is no evidence that peptides cause cancer, however if you have a form of cancer and you take a peptide such as CJC1295 that causes your body to produce more growth hormone than it normally would, that extra GH will cause the cancer to spread faster. So the facts are, yes some peptides help you heal faster but if you have cancer it is possible that you could die from a mild form of cancer that normally would have not been fatal. If you are going to take them do so under the strict guidance of a doctor.

There must be some sort of unnatural benefit using peptides. I find it astonishing that players are taking systematic injections of anything... I don't care whether the drugs are banned or not. I feel that the important question is...what is the purpose of the drug taking.

From what I've read, peptides like ghrp and mod grf can accelerate the growth of cancer cells.

The verity is that we can all pack on the muscle if we follow the correct routine. it can be tough to pack on the muscle but the way ahead is substance. The good news is that there are tried and true ways to gain muscle quickly. You need to be eating more, using the right workout strategy, and employing exercises geared toward making your muscles bigger. http://bit.ly/Q8ILvi

seems to me theres a lot of clever informitve people on here,with some very interesting comments! theres also some dimwits!!!! my view on peptides is highly recommended to all men over 45 years old. not just sports men. my reason being, i had a motorcycle accident 3 years ago, i tore my breast plate from my shoulder plate the ligaments give me immense pain for over a year. no matter how i rested or how i did mild exercise it was just not healing. then i bumped into an old friend, he trains ufc wrestlers. he told me to take ghrp-6 with grf mod 1-29. i had never took a drug in my life and i am 50 now. so it was a big decision for me to make. but the pain i was in told me to just do it, because no physio or pain killers from the doc worked. i started the (TREATMENT) i as called it and with in 6 to 8 week i was not only pain free but had full movement back in my arm and shoulder!!!! not only that, the chronic back pain i had through being a manuel worker and all the sport i have done and still do, which include weight lifting, cycling, motor cycle trials riding, has completely gone!!!!! i genuenly feel and look years younger. i lost 30lb of fat and gained 10lb of mucle! the big question i have is why wouldnt my doctor prescribe peptides to me and any other pain suffering men over 45? knowing when we reach this age our body just doesnt work properly any more!! by the way i am now on them for life, why should i live with aches and pains when there is this kind of technoligy available? i just want to be fit and healthy for as long as possible. good heath guys!

Hi gents After moving frim wales in the uk to australia I have seen the effects of gear miss Ues. The pep thing is not bad it is missunderstood. At present the kids out there are using real gear with all the sude effects . I think we need to think . As some of the new peps very little side effects. As for gear and other drugs bidybuilders use the high side effects of some drugs to their advantage. I would rather see the use of peps and it trigger our own bidy to produce more than take a drug to get the results. And as injurys do clear up so quick that xan only be a good thing . As usual ozzies over react. Currently there are suppliers in au legally and it is perscribed by a doctor . Just my say

Does taking peptides at a young age stuff your body up? I'm 17 and would this get me bigger?

how long does ghrp2 stay in your system for if you have been taking peptide for 2 mnhs

If you went to a doctor with torn ligaments from a bad fall, and he gave you the choice of using peptides to have you up and about in a few days, or not using peptides and you'd be out of action and in pain for a few weeks, what would you do? Right, so why deny sportsmen the use of a helpful, "non-performance enhansing" supplement like peptides. This whole thing is a big beat up about nothing, and could have been sorted out in a couple of non-confrontational meetings by people with cool heads.

Aren't these peptides artificially made ? - in the article it says they are the building blocks for protein - but aren't these "peptides" different from the ones you get in protein powder ? - i think the PEDs mentioned in the article are artificial - while the peptides, polypeptides in protein powder are natural.I certainly hopes so anyway or else millions of people have been taking PEDs in the form of protein powder without even realising it !

According to a pharmacist friend of mine, peptides are used to help repair damaged mussle tissue and he gave me this analogy. If you fell down the stairs and tore the ligaments in your ankle, would you allow your doctor to use peptides to speed up the healing process? Of course you would, so why is it that we don't allow the same process for sportsmen. It's just a good health practice.

Peptides aren't simply vitamins that help the muscles heal. Firstly, peptides is a very broad word for a number of different amino acid chains - as Elisha has mentioned in the article. The peptides being targeted in sport are synthetically produced and have specific actions to enhance muscle performance. Put simply, they effect the brain, stimulating Human Growth Hormone production which in turn accelerates the way the body metabolises and distributes protein, among other reactions. I could also say to you that steroids simply increase the production of proteins.Doesn't sound that bad does it? It's easy to simplify the mechanism. But we know that by doing this steroids allow for an unfair advantage. We also know that there are significant side effects associated with steroid use. It has been said that peptide are 'safe.' The problem is we don't know this to be true. Relatively speaking these synthetic peptides haven't been used for very long. Synthetic steroids were first produced, and clinical trials conducted, in the 1930's, however it wasn't until the 80's that there was talk of the side effects, unfair advantage and banning them in sport. Peptide use hasn't had this testing which is the main reason for the concern. I believe, number 1, that we need far more information to be able to make any kind of judgement. And number 2, just like with steroids, do we really want synthetic products that effect the brain and hormone production to be freely available and play a significant role in sport?

I notice that footy players who can establish they did not know that the substance they were asked to accept was illegal might be outed for 6 months instead of 2 years. That might establish a handy precedent in the date rape case where the victim accepted the drugged drink without knowing it was drugged. 6 months automatic jail for contributory stupidity might stop a lot of these cases actually proceeding to court and at the same time increase the number that actually take place. Thats the trouble with stupid laws. They have idiotic consequences.

This is getting beyond ridiculous...next they'll be banning multivitamins and omega oils because it makes the brain more efficient and gives a football players a leg up mentally on a player who doesn't take them. Or what about antibiotics? They make you heal from infection....should ban those suckers too. Personally, anything that can help an athlete heal quicker so as not to be a drain on the health system I'm all for. Anything like steroids that enhances performance is a no no. Call me a cynic but while there is a witch hunt going on for Cronulla and ACC has a federal body are the ones to raise it, I've noticed mention of Craig Thompson has disappeared and election polls have been pushed aside. I want an investigation from an independant authority in ACC & ASADA. I think this has been handled in such a dodgey matter it needs it smells rank

i cant see how there still alowed to play AFL after using such bad drugs and it will just ruin their lives...

Lets stop the nanny nation and let people decide for themselves. We should have the freedom to make our own decissions when it comes to our bodies. We are breading a country of idiot robots doing whst there told and when to do it. Education abd information is the key and liability should rest on the individuals shoulders.

Great article and comments. In regards to putting on size: I think a focus for a few years has been around the contested ball and strength/size was a key factor in winning that stat, so I'm guessing it applies to mostly midfielders. I'm fairly new to peptides, so my questions would be how they would catch players who may have used them? How long it lasts in your system and how they detect it.. If they are just going on what people will say then it will be a lengthy and messy investigation!

PEP lets get everyone to take supplements from new borns to pensioners, our society loves natural and especially synthetic substances to make them feel or look different. Society is going mad

You should of just written "Adel" instead of "etc etc..." Much quicker
