Look up the FDA approval status of any peptide — semaglutide, BPC-157, GHK-Cu, tesamorelin, and 30+ others. The status badge tells you whether you can legally buy it as a drug, supplement, or research chemical.
Type a peptide name above or pick a suggestion to see its FDA status.
The four status categories
- FDA-approved: a prescription drug with an approved indication. Legal to buy at a US pharmacy with a valid prescription. Includes GLP-1 receptor agonists, PTH analogs, and a handful of others.
- Compounded (503A): legally prescribed and made by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy on a per-patient basis. Post-Feb 2025 FDA enforcement, large-scale 503B compounding is largely shut down. Quality and concentration vary by pharmacy.
- Discontinued: was FDA-approved at one point but is no longer marketed (often the maker withdrew or the indication was removed). Sometimes still available via compounding.
- Grey-market / not FDA-approved: sold online as “research peptide” or “research chemical.” No approved human indication. Quality, potency, and contamination are unverified. Use is at the buyer’s legal and medical risk.
