Peptide Safety Checklist & Disclaimer
Read Before You Use Any Peptide
Peptides that are not approved by the FDA for human use have not been evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality. Even if many people report positive experiences, there is always a risk that the product may be contaminated, mislabeled, underdosed, overdosed, or counterfeit.
Nothing on this checklist guarantees a peptide is safe. Its purpose is to help you reduce avoidable risks and recognize when something isn't right.
