US EditionAmericans are injecting themselves with unproven peptides sold by influencers and RFK Jr. allies
- On Nov. 12, 2025, the Associated Press reported more Americans are injecting unapproved peptides lacking adequate clinical trials, seeking muscle growth, skin rejuvenation, and life extension.
- Behind the trend is the surging popularity of GLP-1 weight-loss medications, with Joe Rogan praising BPC-157 last year and Gary Brecka telling over 2 million followers peptides are naturally recognized.
- The FDA has issued warning letters and added nearly 20 peptides to a no-compound list, while vendors charge $350 to $600 per product and some ship vials for as little as $5, raising red flags.

- Critics warn that imperfect synthetics and high doses pose safety risks as physicians note more patients asking about peptides and urge questions on long-term safety.
