Since the vet forms of fluoroquinolone cause it in animals I think we can rule out it just being in the head. It’s very real.

It’s About to Be Hot Peptide Summer (GQ magazine)
Brace yourself for hot peptide summer.
In late February, health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Joe Rogan on his podcast, revealing that that he’s directing the FDA to loosen regulations on over a dozen previously banned peptides. The move, which seems likely to be announced in the coming weeks, would largely reverse the FDA’s previous decision to place 19 peptides on the agency’s category 2 list, which effectively bans pharmacies from formulating them for human use—and, by extension, restricts doctors from prescribing them. (Not that the initial decision to ban these peptides prevented surging demand from fueling a booming black market online).
According to the Human Health and Services Secretary, who expects that about 14 of these peptides will soon be moved back to the right side of the law, the compounds should have never been banned in the first place. He cites overreach by the Biden administration, but the fact remains that virtually all of these peptides still lack meaningful—and in some cases, any—human trials.
That reality has many experts worried. For instance, in a recent paper published in the journal Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, researchers at the University of Utah noted that the popular compound BPC-157, nicknamed the “Wolverine” peptide for its potential regenerative abilities, could theoretically also promote the growth of tumor cells.
All of that said, this isn’t necessarily bad news, considering the popularity of these peptides continues to surge, regardless of whether the FDA deems them naughty or nice. For one, moving a drug from category 2 to category 1, where it becomes fair game for pharmacies and physician-prescribed treatment, makes it considerably more likely to be researched more thoroughly. And for the increasing number of people seeking out these peptides regardless, allowing them to be processed in FDA-inspected facilities reduces the reliance on a murky black market fraught with its own risks.

It seems that the grey market peptide world is getting squeezed…

I wouldn’t advise getting anything you inject or consume off Amazon anyway.

Good riddance, buying medical supplies on Amazon is not an adventure I would recommend having. Many bac water products on this site didn’t pass benzyl alcohol content and pH tests anyway. I hope this guy was buying Hospira.

Interesting… I tend to go to Amazon for many things as they deliver next day. But it looks like Customs and the FDA are cracking down in a number of areas…

Reading the tweet (and the quoted tweet) it looks like CBP are giving more attention to imports “smuggled”
Yes, many vendors have been affected by increased seizures lately. The war on Iran is not helping either. It’s a cat and mouse game, several vendors are in the process of changing routes.
I’m actually more worried about the impact of the war on manufacturing and shipping prices. We’re already seeing many Asian economies affected by oil shortages.
Donald Trump may do more than other presidents to reduce fossil fuel usage. Unintentionally, but if you don’t have the fossil fuels to burn you cannot burn them.
Food supplies are one of the biggest concerns.

In July, the FDA is reviewing BPC-157, TB-500, Semax, Epitalon and more.
The meeting will be open to the public.

I don’t see anything here about price, so I’ll hold my breath on the imminent collapse of the grey market.

Certain peptides (sermorelin for instance) are still currently available from compounding pharmacies, and the prices are outrageous, so I don’t see the gray market collapsing from this. If anything, it will become more popular if the FDA partially legitimizes (rightly or wrongly) these peptides.

This is really good news as long as they don’t also crack down on the black market.

It is good news generally speaking, but the pricing of them will be prohibitive for 99.9% of people. So, grey will stay as the primary source/choice for most people. As far as cracking down on gray/black market I don’t see much of a change, they are already doing it but there will always be ways to get it. There has been a war on drugs going on forever, but there’s never a short supply of it.
