Overview
- A New York Post report highlights a growing trend of fitness enthusiasts switching from anabolic steroids to peptide injections or combining the two.
- Peptide promoter Jay Campbell says some peptides could eventually replace part of steroid use, though he notes many users still rely on steroids today.
- Popular choices cited include CJC-1295, which aims to stimulate human growth hormone, and BPC-157, which users seek for muscle support, gut repair, and reduced inflammation.
- Users increasingly build “stacks,” pairing multiple peptides to amplify perceived effects, with GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro cited as familiar examples.
- Campbell argues side effects are typically mild when used correctly but acknowledges GLP-1 drawbacks and warns of serious risks from buying peptides through unregulated online sellers.
