Grey market peptides are gone.
The physician-prescribed era is here.
Peptide Sciences shut down. The FDA crackdown on unregulated vendors is only accelerating. But you don't have to stop your protocol. SkinnyVIP offers physician-prescribed, pharmacy-compounded peptides — legally, safely, and at prices that actually make sense.

Research peptides had a good run. Here's why it's over.

- No physician oversight or dosing guidance
- FDA actively shutting vendors down
- Purity and contamination concerns
- No recourse if something goes wrong
- Payment processors pulling support

- Personalized dosing from licensed providers
- FDA-regulated 503a compounding pharmacies
- Third-party tested, pharmaceutical-grade compounds
- Ongoing medical support and monitoring
- Simple, transparent pricing — no hidden fees
The regulatory landscape changed. Permanently.
FDA issues warning letters to Prime Peptides, Xcel Peptides, SwissChems, and Summit Research for selling semaglutide and tirzepatide as unapproved drugs.
FDA raids Amino Asylum's warehouse. Website goes dark. Payment processing terminated. Pending orders frozen.
New legislation prohibits selling research chemicals identical to FDA-approved drugs without an NDA. Vendors begin mass catalog purges.
Peptide Sciences posts three sentences and goes dark. One of the largest grey market suppliers is gone.
The writing is on the wall. The grey market for peptides is done. But legitimate, physician-prescribed compounded peptides remain fully legal under Section 503a of the FDCA.
Three steps. No clinic visits. No waiting rooms.

Answers for former research peptide buyers
How is SkinnyVIP different from Peptide Sciences?
Peptide Sciences sold "research use only" peptides in a regulatory grey area. SkinnyVIP is a legitimate telehealth practice. A licensed physician evaluates you, writes a prescription, and your medication is compounded by an FDA-regulated 503a pharmacy. It's fully legal, medically supervised, and pharmaceutical-grade.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes — and that's the point. Our consultation process includes a medical evaluation by a licensed provider. If you're a good candidate, they'll prescribe a personalized protocol. This is how it should work: with medical oversight and proper dosing.
What peptides do you offer?
We specialize in compounded GLP-1 medications — tirzepatide and semaglutide — which are the most effective compounds for weight loss backed by extensive clinical data. We also offer other peptide therapies. Start a free consultation to discuss your specific needs with a provider.
Is compounded tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro?
Compounded tirzepatide contains the same active ingredient as Mounjaro. The difference: Mounjaro is manufactured by Eli Lilly at a premium price, while compounded versions are prepared by licensed pharmacies at a fraction of the cost. Both require a prescription.
Are there any contracts or membership fees?
No. Zero. You order when you want, skip when you want. No recurring charges, no memberships, no hidden fees. If you want a 1-month supply, that's $250. If you want 3 months at $198/mo, great. Your choice.
What about the FDA crackdown — is compounding still legal?
Absolutely. The FDA is cracking down on unregulated vendors selling unapproved drugs. Physician-prescribed compounds from 503a pharmacies are explicitly protected under federal law (Section 503a of the FDCA). This isn't a loophole — it's how compounding has legally worked for decades.
How fast does it ship?
Once your prescription is approved (typically within 24 hours), your medication ships directly from the pharmacy. Most patients receive their order within 3-5 business days.
I was using BPC-157 or other research peptides. Do you offer those?
Our focus is on GLP-1 compounds (tirzepatide, semaglutide), which have the strongest clinical evidence. Some other peptides may be available depending on regulatory status and your provider's evaluation. Start a consultation to discuss your specific needs.
