#FDA regulators agreed with the panel, saying later that the substances “present significant safety risks,” because most have not been extensively tested in humans.

Many of the FDA advisers & internal staff who oversaw those decisions no longer work for the agency.

…Under President #Biden, the #FDA added more than a dozen of the most popular peptides to the federal list of substances that should not be produced by compounding pharmacies — businesses that mix medications that aren’t available from drugmakers.

At the time, the FDA’s panel of pharmacy advisers voted overwhelmingly that the peptides did not meet the criteria for a list of drugs that can be safely compounded.

The #FDA said in a federal notice Wednesday it will ask a panel of outside pharmacy “advisers” to review 7 peptides at a July meeting, specifically whether to remove them from a restrictive category reserved for risky, customized drugs.

#RFKJr has discussed using peptides for his own injuries. And some major supporters of his MAHA movement are big proponents of them, including Gary Brecka, a self-described “longevity expert” who sells various peptide formulas through his website.

The meeting announcement Wednesday follows repeated pledges by [#quack] #Health Secy #RFKJr to loosen regulations on peptides, which are often pitched as a quick way to build muscle, heal injuries or appear younger. There’s little research behind those claims & most peptides have NOT been reviewed for #safety by the #FDA.
