WATCH: HHS says some wellness peptides will be available by prescription

The Department of Health and Human Services has announced that six wellness peptides will soon be available by prescription, a move that allows compounding pharmacies to offer these products under medical oversight starting October 29, 2026. This decision marks a significant shift in how wellness supplements are regulated, potentially increasing accessibility for those who benefit from peptides for various health reasons. While it's still early, this could reshape the wellness industry and raise important discussions about regulation, efficacy, and safety in peptide use.
