US health panel recommends easing restrictions on controversial peptides
The News
A federal health advisory panel narrowly voted to recommend easing restrictions on several peptides popular with wellness influencers, despite safety concerns from government scientists. The panel, which includes members with ties to the peptides industry, advised the FDA to allow pharmacies to produce injectable peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500. The recommendation could embolden Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other advocates of alternative treatments, but final FDA action remains pending.
