Commune with Jeff Krasno

In March 2026, the largest gray-market peptide vendor in the U.S. went dark overnight. No refunds, and a wave of uncertainty about what these products actually are, how they’re sourced, and whether they’re worth the risk.In this episode, Jeff works through what peptides actually are, where the science holds up and where it doesn't, and what the gray-market collapse means for anyone paying attention to this space. Topics covered:

BPC-157, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, and TB-500: what the research actually shows

Why are oral peptide capsules mostly expensive amino acids

The sourcing landscape: FDA-approved, compounding pharmacies, and gray market

Who peptide therapy may be right for, and who should wait

Free, evidence-backed alternatives for GH optimization and injury recovery

This episode is for anyone who's been curious about peptide injections and wants the honest answer, not the Joe Rogan version.
