Inside the Peptide Industry: Quality, Testing, Regulation & Grey Market Peptides

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.

Together, they discuss why peptides have exploded in popularity, what consumers should know about third-party testing and Certificates of Analysis (COAs), the challenges facing the industry, and how the regulatory environment may shape the future of peptide access.
