flag Unapproved peptide injections, promoted for anti-aging and muscle growth, are rising in popularity despite FDA warnings over safety risks.

flag Unapproved peptide injections, marketed for muscle growth, anti-aging, and longevity, are surging in popularity across the U.S., despite lacking FDA approval and rigorous human testing. flag Promoted by influencers, celebrities like Joe Rogan and Jennifer Aniston, and allies of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has pledged to weaken FDA enforcement, these compounds—such as BPC-157 and TB-500—are sold online and in clinics for hundreds of dollars per vial. flag While some peptides are FDA-approved for specific medical uses, most unapproved versions have only been studied in animals and are banned in sports. flag Experts warn of potential risks including allergic reactions, metabolic issues, and unknown long-term effects, especially when multiple peptides are combined. flag The FDA has flagged dozens as unsafe for compounding, but enforcement remains inconsistent as demand grows amid rising skepticism toward conventional medicine.
