Kennedy Jr. has overruled his own agency’s scientists, issuing a rule that lets compounding pharmacies make and sell six peptide drugs the FDA pulled from its approved list in 2023 over safety concerns, as Beth Mole for Ars Technica reports. The peptides — BPC-157, Epitalon, KPV, MOTS-c, Semax and TB-500 — are hugely popular in the Make America Healthy Again movement, and several prominent MAHA figures sell them.
