The equivalent 9 IUs per day of synthetic HGH is a heck of a lot more a week. So from an investment consideration, you get more GH per $1 from peptides than you do synthetic GH; however, you hit a limit with peptides that you don't hit with GH. So the question is what is the goal and what is needed to accomplish that goal.
Peptides are another tool, but they have their limits just like any other tool. Synthetic GH has its limits and downside, peptides have their limits and downside, and AAS have their limit and downside. It is important to recognize exactly what the tool is good for, use it for that and only that.
For muscle growth, eating and resistance training are the two best tools. Nothing else beats that. For fat loss, diet and fasted aerobic workouts are the two best tools. Nothing else beats that.
For anti-aging you really don't want to do peptides three times a day. Higher IGF levels are not condusive to anti-aging. For anti-aging you really need to cut back to 50 mcg / day max. EOD is really better for anti-aging purposes, and 25 mcg is probably a better amount.
