Three kinds of peptides
Approved medicines, compounded copies, and research-only listings are not the same thing. Mixing the words is how people get lost.
1. Approved medicines. A regulator authorised a specific product. Example: the UK MHRA authorised orforglipron (Foundayo) on 10 August 2026. That is one product, prescription-only. Orforglipron is a small-molecule GLP-1, not a peptide. See The UK authorised a GLP-1 tablet.
2. Compounded preparations. A pharmacy makes a preparation for a patient under compounding law. A committee vote is not a license. See An FDA panel voted on six peptides. That is not approval.
3. Research-only / unapproved listings. Sold as if they were the trial drug. Lilly’s August 12, 2026 statement on retatrutide: not approved anywhere, cannot be sold to consumers, cannot be lawfully compounded. See Retatrutide is not approved anywhere.
Peptide Vault is a log and a library. It does not sell any of the three.
