What this video covers
If they’re not FDA approved, how are people getting them? I get this question daily, and I’m not going to make you wait until the end of the video before I tell you. They’re buying them through what is known as the gray market, which means they’re being sold legally, but for a different reason than what the label says. When you buy peptides like retatrutide and GHK-Cu online, which are both being studied but are not FDA approved for clinical use yet, the label will say for research use only.
