Episode Peptide Expert on the Benefits, Risks & the Different Types
Tim Piatowski is one of Australia's leading researchers on peptides and enhancement drugs, running the world's first steroid-checking trial and service.
In this conversation, we cover everything from what peptides actually are to the underground markets driving their use across Australia. Tim explains the science behind popular compounds like BPC-157 and GHK-Cu, the risks of unregulated products, and why Australia's regulatory approach is pushing people toward dangerous illicit markets. We also explore the potential for peptides in healthy ageing, injury recovery, and why our government's silence on this growing trend is creating more problems than solutions.
We speak about:
• What peptides are and how they work as signalling molecules • BPC-157 for tissue healing and inflammation reduction • GHK-Cu copper peptides for collagen synthesis and skin health • Growth hormone releasing peptides like CJC-1295 and tesamorelin • The contamination crisis in illicit enhancement drugs • Legal pathways vs underground markets in Australia • How peptides could transform healthy ageing and falls prevention
