What this video covers
An FDA advisory committee on Thursday recommended easing restrictions on several peptides popular with wellness influencers and some celebrities. The panelists voted eight to six in favor of putting the peptides on the FDA’s list of substances considered safe for pharmacy compounding. If the FDA follows that advice, telehealth companies are expected to ramp up marketing of the chemicals for wellness and cosmetic uses. The recommendation comes despite warnings though from government scientists that the chemicals haven’t been shown to be safe or effective.
