FDA Staff Propose Against 503A Listing for BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, KPV, Semax, Epitalon & DSIP
At the July 23-24, 2026 PCAC meeting, FDA staff proposed that all seven peptides under review NOT be added to the 503A Bulks List. Here is what the briefing docs actually say, and what they do not.
The Peptide Industry's Accreditation Illusion: We Checked the Labs Behind Your COAs
Vendors lean on 'ISO 17025' and 'accredited lab' to sell trust. We went to the accreditation registries, A2LA, ANAB, PJLA, IAS, and CMS, and checked. No lab issuing peptide COAs has a publicly verifiable ISO 17025 scope covering peptide purity or identity. Here is the lab-by-lab record, and what actually signals a trustworthy COA.
FDA Advisory Committee to Weigh BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, KPV, Semax & Epitalon for the 503A Compounding List
On July 23-24, 2026, the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee reviews seven peptides for the 503A Bulks List, the biggest peptide compounding vote in years. Here's what's actually on the table.

All articles →Weight Regain After Stopping Semaglutide or Tirzepatide: What the Trials Show
Most of the weight lost on semaglutide or tirzepatide returns after the drug is stopped. Here is the STEP and SURMOUNT withdrawal data, why the biology predicts the rebound, and why that is an argument for treating obesity as a chronic condition — not a reason to dismiss the peptides.
Why Peptide Half-Lives Vary So Much: DAC, PEGylation, and Albumin Hitchhiking
Native peptides last minutes. Semaglutide lasts a week. The difference is not the receptor, it is the pharmacokinetic engineering bolted onto the molecule. Here is how lipidation, DAC albumin bioconjugation, PEGylation, and FcRn recycling turn a 2-minute peptide into a once-weekly drug, and why the same chemistry explains the dosing schedules clinicians see in the wild.
PEG-MGF: What Mechano Growth Factor Research Actually Shows
PEG-MGF is a PEGylated version of the IGF-1 Ec E-domain peptide that muscle researchers call mechano growth factor. Here is how MGF differs from mature IGF-1, what human exercise studies and cell work actually showed, and why the research peptide is not the same thing as the splice variant your muscle makes after a hard set.
SS-31 (Elamipretide): The Cardiolipin Peptide That Became Forzinity
SS-31 is a mitochondria-targeted tetrapeptide that binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. In 2025 the FDA granted accelerated approval to elamipretide as Forzinity for Barth syndrome. Here is the mechanism, what TAZPOWER and MMPOWER-3 actually showed, and how the research peptide differs from the approved drug.
Kisspeptin-10: The Upstream Switch for GnRH, LH, and the HPG Axis
Kisspeptin sits above GnRH in the reproductive axis. Here is how kisspeptin-10 and kisspeptin-54 work, what human trials actually showed, and why enthusiasts keep confusing the two isoforms.
What Is a Peptide? A Plain-Language Beginner's Guide
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as biological signals. Here is what they are, how they differ from proteins and small-molecule drugs, which ones are already FDA-approved medicines, and how research peptides fit into the picture.
