Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is poised to declare victory on widening access to one of the country’s biggest wellness fads: peptides, the building blocks of proteins that biohackers claim help quickly heal injuries and promote muscle growth and fat loss.
Kennedy — a self-declared “big fan” of the treatments for injuries for which he reports “good results — has accused the Food and Drug Administration of aggressively suppressing peptides’ use.
Last month, on Joe Rogan’s podcast, the Health Secretary signaled imminent action by the FDA to allow “about 14” peptides to be “more accessible” for domestic compounding pharmacies.
