Despite all the purported benefits of these , the FDA has not approved any of the ones we mentioned for improving sexual function, promoting wound healing, or slowing aging. (Sermorelin is FDA-approved for use in children with pituitary gland problems.) The World Anti-Doping Agency has also banned BPC-157 and all growth hormone-releasing peptides, meaning no athlete in a sport subject to doping control should be around them.

In sports, it's widely believed that injecting peptides, even laboratory-produced ones, is safer than taking human growth hormone (hGH) or anabolic steroids to achieve results. But this sales pitch isn't new. Anti-aging clinics have been touting the benefits of improved appearance and performance since the late 20th century.

What's new is the price, explains Dr. Graham Simpson, a physician at Opt Health, a telemedicine clinic that offers peptides. For example, instead of paying $1,200 a month for growth hormone injections—the true fountain of youth—you could pay a few hundred dollars a month for peptides that stimulate the body's own production. Or you could pay for peptides that supposedly stimulate the cells responsible for tissue healing.
