In this episode, Kris shares his take on some of the most overrated and underrated supplements on the market, what he personally looks for when evaluating a product, and why popularity doesn't always equal effectiveness. ...

Peptides have gone mainstream, but the information around them is still a mess. One search brings up five different doses, four delivery methods, and stacks loaded with compounds you may not even need.
