Understanding peptide legality — research use, prescription requirements, and country-specific regulations.

Are peptides legal in the US?

Complex answer: FDA-approved peptides (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide) are legal with prescription. Research peptides (BPC-157, TB-500) exist in a gray area — legal to purchase 'for research' but not FDA-approved for human use. Recent FDA actions have restricted some compounds. State laws vary.
