The photo has nothing to do with the text. It was taken at the Rose Show and entitled ‘Spring’. I’ve written about the dangers of unsupervised use of peptides and the dangers involved. Just a week or two ago, an Australian actor, Richard Norton, died aged 75. His death from a cardiac arrest is believed to be the first in Australia known to have been triggered by the use of unapproved peptides. Norton was involved in the film and TV industry as an actor, stuntman and instructor. He was an experienced martial arts practitioner. Injections of peptide products CJC1295 and Ipamorelin were compounded for him to treat fatigue, reduced physical recovery, shoulder pain and the loss of lean muscle mass. However, before his death, he was self-injecting double the amounts recommended. And unfortunately he has now paid the price.

That's sad. First, he is using it unsupervised, then he double the dose

I saw that on the news. Apparently he took more than he was supposed to at least that is what they are saying.

Yes, he took double the amount he was supposed to. I say that towards the end but that's okay.

There is such a thing as 'too much of a good thing'

I don't know why some people so obsessed with such thing. It is a natural thing when we get older our metabolism is weaker

Him injecting double the recommended amount is the part that gets me... such a sad way to go for someone who was so fit. People really need to stop treating these things like a quick fix imo, cuz nobody's gonna be the wiser until it's too late, yeah?
