If you’re preparing to launch or grow your white-label research peptide business through Einstein Labels, it’s essential to stay fully aligned with FDA and FTC guidelines. Whether you’re entering the industry or expanding your product line, compliance isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s the backbone of long-term success.

🔬 What Are Research Peptides?

Research peptides are short chains of amino acids used strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research purposes. They are not FDA-approved drugs and must not be sold, labeled, or promoted for any human or animal use.

You must always label peptides with:

• “For Research Use Only”

• “Not for Human Consumption”

These disclaimers are non-negotiable—they’re legally required.

⚖️ Why Compliance Matters (FDA + FTC)

Two U.S. federal agencies closely regulate how research peptides are sold:

🏛 FDA:

• Regulates compounding under 503A and 503B of the FD&C Act

• Issues warnings for marketing unapproved drugs

• Restricts and bans high-risk peptides

📢 FTC:

• Monitors all advertising and marketing content

• Penalizes misleading or medically suggestive claims

• Audits social media, testimonials, and product listings

Noncompliance risks include:

• Site takedowns

• Heavy fines

• Product seizure

• Legal consequences

🧪 Understanding Peptide Legality (2025 Updates)

The FDA has taken a stricter stance on peptides in recent months. Some peptides once considered “grey market” are now clearly banned or restricted.

📋 Compounding Categories:

503A Pharmacies (Traditional):

• Category 1: Under Evaluation (e.g., GHK-Cu topical)

• Category 2: High Risk (e.g., BPC-157, LL-37) – Prohibited

• Category 3: Insufficient Data – Prohibited

503B Outsourcing Facilities:

• May only use peptides listed on the 503B Bulks List

• Anything not on the list cannot be compounded or sold

⚠️ For Everyone Else:

If you’re not a licensed pharmacy or FDA-registered facility, you may only sell research peptides clearly labeled and marketed for non-human use.

🚫 What You Must Never Do

Avoid these common compliance mistakes:

❌ Use terms like “treats,” “cures,” “heals,” or “prevents”
❌ Share dosage protocols, usage instructions, or stacking guides
❌ Allow or display customer reviews with health outcomes
❌ Use therapeutic or performance-based language like “muscle gain” or “fat burning”
❌ Describe peptides as safe or effective for humans

---

🤔 Peptide Compliance FAQ

Can I sell peptides if they say “Not for Human Use”?
✅ Yes—but your marketing must never contradict that disclaimer.

Can I ship to all U.S. states?
✅ Generally yes, but California, Nevada, and others may have additional restrictions.

Can I advertise for bodybuilding or weight loss?
❌ No. These claims imply human use and are legally prohibited.

What happens if I break the rules?
🚫 You could receive:

• FDA/FTC warning letters

• Website takedowns

• Fines or legal action

• Product confiscation
