Superpower co-founder @maxmarchione describes how he went from being a peptide skeptic to a peptide believer: "When I was first introduced to peptides, one of the most esteemed doctors in the US said to me: 'You take so many supplements. Have you explored peptides? Because I think they're a really interesting modality with a few decades of clinical use.'" "When he said that to me, I was like, 'No way. This is BS. I'm not injecting myself with something. That's weird.'" "So what I did is, I went around to around 20 different doctors whose opinions I respect, and I asked them about peptides. Normally when you ask these doctors about anything — you ask about red meat, spinach, [etc.] — they're all divided." "With peptides, all of them except one said 'These are really interesting. I have used these in my patients. I believe endogenous molecules — peptides that exist in our body — are going to be the future of medicine.'" "And those doctors have the incentive not to be wrong. If they're wrong, they could go to jail. If they're wrong, they can have their license stripped. If they're wrong, patients don't come back to them. They have the maximum incentive. And for 10 to 20 years, they still give [peptides] to their patients. And their patients say 'My life changed.'" "You might say it's placebo. My statement is that the patient says their life changes, and the doctor sees that."
