Peptides Are Everywhere—But Who’s Actually Qualified To Give Advice?

Peptides are gaining traction in clinical, aesthetic, and longevity care, but guidance remains fragmented.

In most cases, only licensed medical professionals can prescribe them, while many products are off-label or research-only.

The market is expanding faster than regulation, creating confusion about FDA approval, safety, and appropriate use.

Consumers should be cautious of wellness advice from unqualified sources, including influencers and some telehealth platforms.
