Antimicrobial peptides can help the body fight infectious microbes (bacteria, viruses, and fungi), promote wound healing, increase the production of melanin (a natural sunscreen that protects the skin from sun damage), and whiten the skin (to help with hyperpigmentation or age spots)
Probably safe to use if: sealed lyophilized vial at controlled room temperature for less than 1 week, brief reconstituted exposure under 2 hours, no visible changes, and peptide responds normally on initial test dose
There are no human dosing protocols, no long-term safety data, and no way to verify the purity or composition of what arrives in the mail when you order it from a website that exists in a regulatory vacuum
This verification step is particularly valuable when working with potent compounds
Scheduling a series of repeat appointments is also inconvenient
