Reference / Full Definition
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the U.S. federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services responsible for protecting public health through regulation of food, drugs, biologics, medical devices, and related products.
FDA approval is required before any drug can be marketed for therapeutic use in the United States. Some peptides have achieved FDA approval for specific indications — semaglutide (as Ozempic/Wegovy), tirzepatide (as Mounjaro/Zepbound), and tesamorelin (as Egrifta) — while many others remain investigational.
Research-grade peptides sold as RUO chemical reference standards are not FDA-approved products. All Healthy Aminos products are for research use only.
