- Where the line isWhere research peptides sit on the WADA Prohibited ListFDA status and WADA status are different questions with different answers. Where BPC-157, TB-500, the GHRPs, the GHRH analogues, ipamorelin and Melanotan II sit on the 2026 Prohibited List, and what strict liability means.
- The moleculesTB-500 and thymosin beta-4 are not the same moleculeThymosin beta-4 is a 43-residue protein. TB-500 is a seven-residue synthetic fragment of it. Here is the identity of each, the thymosin alpha-1 mix-up, and the status of all three as of September 2026.
- Where the line isApproved, investigational, or neither: a status table for 27 peptidesOne table, three statuses. Which peptides have an FDA-approved product, which are in a sponsor's trial program, and which have neither, with the compounding category and WADA line for each, as of September 21, 2026.
- The moleculesCJC-1295 with DAC and without: what the drug affinity complex changesCJC-1295 is a 30-residue GHRH analogue carrying a maleimide group that bonds to serum albumin. The version sold without DAC is a different, 29-residue molecule. Identity, lineage and 2026 status.
- Where the line isBPC-157 in 2026: not banned, not approved, not compoundableThree separate questions get asked as one. BPC-157 is not a controlled substance, is not an FDA-approved drug, and has no lawful 503A compounding pathway. What the molecule is and where each answer comes from, dated.
- Where the line isAre peptides steroids? The chemistry and the law behind the questionNo. A peptide is a chain of amino acids joined by amide bonds; a steroid is a lipid built on a four-ring carbon skeleton. Why the two are made, regulated and listed differently, with a comparison table.
- Where the line isAre peptides legal in the United States? A dated answer"Legal" hides seven different questions: controlled-substance status, who the law regulates, sale as research material, approval, compounding, import and sport. Each has a different answer and a different regulator. Here they are, dated.
