FDA to weigh easing limits on unproven peptides favored by RFK Jr.

Federal health officials will meet this summer to consider easing restrictions on a controversial group of drugs popular with followers of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again movement. Thursday's announcement from the Food and Drug Administration focuses on peptides, a class of unproven chemicals that are often pitched online as a way to build muscle, lose weight and look younger. The agency said it will convene experts in July to consider the issue, which Kennedy has discussed in recent podcast appearances. FDA previously blocked production of a number of peptides due to safety concerns.

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.

#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 #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.

…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.

#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.

@Nonilex
So is the role of the FDA to ignore studies showing vaccines to be safe and effective, while approving untested influencer peptide concoctions?

As long as RFK Jr is getting a kickback from the influencers & wellness companies
