The FDA's advisory panel will decide Thursday whether to loosen compounding restrictions on seven peptides, potentially unlocking a $295bn market by 2033. Health Secretary RFK Jr., a peptide user and supporter, is pushing for relaxed manufacturing rules despite FDA scientists' safety concerns and lack of human efficacy data.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If the FDA loosens compounding rules for peptides this week, telehealth platforms and compounding pharmacies suddenly have a $295bn market - but you'll be selling largely unstudied compounds with no approval data, which means liability, customer trust, and regulatory whiplash are your real product cost.
