Peptide injections and wellness: classification, evidence and product quality
Peptides are amino-acid chains; the boundary with small proteins is a matter of terminology. A molecular category is not a treatment indication, and an injectable presentation does not itself prove a substance is a peptide or a useful medicine.
- Approved peptide medicinesDefined conditions / product-specific labels
Clinical use belongs to an exact medicine and indication.
Approval of one product does not approve an entire molecular category. Reference ↗
- Compounded injectable productsQuality and evidence assessment
A preparation must be evaluated on its own evidence and quality controls.
Compounding is not the same as FDA premarket approval. Reference ↗
