Peptide field guide · Updated November 2026
Know what you're looking at.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Your body makes thousands of them. Insulin is one. Some peptide medicines have large trials behind them, and others have barely been tested in people. Here's how to tell them apart.
| Peptide | FDA status | Approved for or studied for | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| SemaglutideOzempic, Wegovy | FDA-approved | Type 2 diabetes, chronic weight management, and lowering heart risk in certain patients. | Backed by large trials. Stomach side effects are common, and it carries a boxed warning about thyroid tumors. |
| TirzepatideMounjaro, Zepbound | FDA-approved | Type 2 diabetes, chronic weight management, and sleep apnea in adults with obesity. | Backed by large trials. It has a similar side-effect profile and boxed warning to semaglutide. |
| TeriparatideForteo | FDA-approved | Osteoporosis in people at high risk of fractures. | A daily injection prescribed for bone loss. It isn't a general injury-recovery drug. |
| TesamorelinEgrifta | FDA-approved | Excess belly fat in adults with HIV-related lipodystrophy. | Approved only for this use. Any other use is off-label, so discuss it with your doctor. |
| BPC-157 | Not FDA-approved | Tendon, muscle, and gut healing, mostly in animal studies. | Published human research is very small and includes no large randomized trial. Long-term safety in people is unknown. |
| TB-500Thymosin beta-4 fragment | Not FDA-approved | Tissue repair, mostly in lab and animal studies. | There's little human data on benefit, dosing, or long-term safety. |
| KPV | Not FDA-approved | Inflammation and wound healing, in early research. | The FDA found no human clinical studies supporting these uses. |
| MOTS-c | Not FDA-approved | Insulin resistance, obesity, osteoporosis, and related metabolic uses. | The FDA found no human clinical studies supporting these uses. It's listed as prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency. |
| Epitalon | Not FDA-approved | Insomnia. | It activates telomerase in human cells. The FDA said available studies are too short and narrow to show whether it raises cancer risk. |
| Semax | Not FDA-approved | Brain and nerve function, studied mainly outside the U.S. | It has no U.S. approval for brain injury, memory, or any other use. |
| Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 | Not FDA-approved | Raising growth hormone levels. | Early studies only. Results don't establish benefits for recovery or aging, and long-term risks are unknown. |
The FDA took 12 peptides, including BPC-157 and TB-500, off its restricted Category 2 compounding list in April. Its advisory committee narrowly backed six for compounding in July: BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, Epitalon, and Semax. In late October, HHS announced an interim enforcement-discretion policy that lets licensed pharmacies compound those six under set conditions while formal rulemaking is pending. None of these steps is an FDA approval. They don't show that these peptides are safe or effective. Rules may keep changing, so confirm the current status with your doctor or pharmacist.
