- Scientists use research peptides to:
- While many peptide-based medicines have already been approved by the FDA — such as Lupron™ for prostate cancer and Victoza™ for type 2 diabetes — these are not research peptides. Approved drugs have undergone extensive testing, clinical trials, and FDA review to ensure they are safe and effective for patients.
