DeSciNYC: Peptides 101

​Peptides represent the future of personalized longevity, yet remain broadly misunderstood.

​Julius Ritter, Founder of the California Peptide Club, is giving you the nuanced crash course in peptides and answers the most commonly asked questions for the peptide-curious:

​The Science: What are peptides, and what’s the (pre-)clinical data? What does anecdotal research reveal?

​The History, Zeitgeist, and Future: How did we get here, why are peptides relevant now, and what is the space going to look like 10 years from now?

​The Protocols: What should I take for what (weight-loss, longevity, hair growth, muscle-growth, skin, focus, mitochondrial function?), and do I have to inject them?

​The Sourcing: Where do I source peptides from - a compounding Pharmacy, the research-use-only grey market, black market from China? What are the risks?
