The founder of Offline Peptides joins Peptides Explained for a candid discussion about grey market peptides, quality control, regulation, and the future of the peptide industry.

What are grey market peptides, and why have they become one of the fastest-growing topics in health, wellness, longevity, and performance?

In this episode of Peptides Explained, host John Garrett sits down with Matthew Pacheco, founder of Offline Peptides, for an in-depth conversation about the current peptide landscape, quality control, consumer education, and the realities of the peptide industry.
