FDA changes focus on peptide health rules

US health officials will meet soon about some peptide drugs. New people on the panel have money ties to these drugs.

Past FDA panels had only professors and expert researchers. The new group includes doctors who sell or promote peptides.

Peptides are sold to build muscles and make people look younger. The FDA has warned about these unproven drugs for many years.

Some new panel members own clinics selling many peptide injections. Others give advice or promote these products on social media.

Health Secretary Kennedy likes peptides and uses them himself. He wants fewer rules for these drugs and changes health policy.
