A panel advising the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has narrowly recommended easing restrictions on several peptides, including BPC-157 and TB-500, which are popular among wellness influencers and celebrities. Despite warnings from FDA scientists about the lack of safety and efficacy data, the panel voted 8-6 in favor of allowing pharmacies to compound these substances. This decision could embolden Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a proponent of peptides, and potentially lead to increased marketing of these chemicals for wellness and cosmetic purposes, though the FDA is not bound by the panel's non-binding advice.
