Are peptides safer long-term than traditional hormone therapy?

Safer depends more on mechanism and dose than the label peptide vs hormone

Peptides often stimulate natural pathways hormones replace or override them

But peptides aren’t magic chronic misuse still causes problems

Hormone therapy predictable results predictable suppression

That’s a big reason people view them as lower risk

On the flip side hormones are better studied clinically

Many people use peptides to delay needing hormones not avoid them forever

Long-term safety comes from monitoring not the compound alone

Contamination risk often outweighs theoretical safety advantages

Quality control is a bigger issue with peptides than pharma hormones
