FDA peptides

A colloquial reference to synthetic or naturally occurring peptides that have received regulatory approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for therapeutic or diagnostic use.
A term often used in health and fitness circles to distinguish clinically researched and pharmaceutical-grade peptides from 'research chemicals' that lack FDA authorization.
Examples
My gym buddy insisted that these sketchy powders were basically FDA peptides, as if a sharpie-written label on a Ziploc bag is a legal binding document.
The beauty influencer swore their skin glowed because of FDA peptides, conveniently ignoring the fact that they were really just using a very expensive moisturizer.
Finding actual FDA peptides on the internet is easier than finding a decent cup of coffee, assuming your definition of 'FDA' involves a basement lab in a remote village.
