If low on $$$ Steroids>peptides.
But peptides + steroids = winning (if you've got the cash).
I ran peptides for the longest time and they helped for sure in a variety of respects, I ran GH for over half a year and it worked as advertised. However now having less money, my priority is on food and gear only. Otherwise I'd gladly run both.
Both improved my skin, both improved my sleep, both allowed me to eat more and still lean out/stay leaner, both helped me look more 3D day in day out, more full, better pumped, more veiny, etc... now not so much, and I've been off them for quite a while... so can't wait to be able to get back on at least the peptides if not GH.
40mg anavar for 3 months will deliver more results than 3 months of GH or peptides. Full stop.
You do the math... but there's always cost vs benefit vs side effect.
I miss the better insane quality sleep, noticeably anti-aging on skin quality and the 3D/fullness factor of GH... it really damn works... but the problem is as always (as even with anavar) people expect MAGIC.. which it isn't (well is... but isn't...) Then again.. people expect magic from drugs period when they don't eat right or train right so go figure.
