Evidence is experimental. Most claims trace to limited human studies or animal models. Treat as a research direction, not a protocol.
Mechanism
Discovered in rabbit cerebral venous blood during sleep induction. Older Soviet/Eastern European clinical work explored use for insomnia, alcohol withdrawal, stress. Mechanism remains poorly characterized; receptor not definitively identified. Modern Western evidence is thin.

Sleep quality / depth
Caveats
Decades-old molecule with thin modern evidence. Subjective sleep effects reported but objective polysomnographic data is mixed. Counterfeit risk in grey-market sources.

FDA removes 12 peptides from Category 2 'significant safety concerns' list
FDA published a Federal Register notice on April 15 2026 removing 12 peptides from the Category 2 ('significant safety concerns') compounding list, paving the way for PCAC review for inclusion on the 503A bulks list. Peptides removed: BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, GHK-Cu (injectable), MOTS-c, DSIP, Dihexa Acetate, MK-677, Melanotan II, KPV, Semax, LL-37.
FDA places peptides on Category 2 'significant safety concerns' list
FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee categorized a wide list of peptides as Category 2 ('significant safety concerns'), effectively banning their compounding at 503A and 503B pharmacies. Affected: BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, GHK-Cu, MOTS-c, DSIP, Dihexa, MK-677, Melanotan II, KPV, Semax, Selank, LL-37 and others.
