Which peptides do the telehealth services actually sell?
Of the 167 telehealth services in the ledger, 157 list a GLP-1 drug and 130 list at least one other peptide or NAD+. The second list is led by NAD+ (125), Sermorelin (114), Glutathione (86). Sermorelin, listed by 114, has had no approved product since 2009.

Every molecule, who lists it, and what FDA says
Each row counts the telehealth records whose own product list names the molecule, and how many of those pass the first four criteria of the Standard: a named prescriber (S1), an order path that stops at a medical intake (S2), a named filling pharmacy (S3) and a compounding disclosure (S4). The status column quotes FDA's own pages.
| Molecule | Services | What FDA's pages say | S1 · S2 · S3 · S4 pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | 154 | An approved product exists. Approved as Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus. A compounded version is not an approved drug. | 154 · 131 · 72 · 118 |
| Tirzepatide | 152 | An approved product exists. Approved as Mounjaro and Zepbound. A compounded version is not an approved drug. | 152 · 130 · 72 · 115 |
| NAD+ | 125 | 503A Category 1. No approved product. NAD is on FDA's Category 1 list of bulk substances for 503A compounding. | 125 · 106 · 64 · 96 |
| Sermorelin | 114 | Approval withdrawn in 2009. FDA withdrew approval of the only sermorelin products, Geref, effective June 18, 2009, at the maker's request. No sermorelin product is approved today. | 114 · 95 · 55 · 88 |
| Glutathione | 86 | 503A Category 1. No approved product. Glutathione is on FDA's Category 1 list of bulk substances for 503A compounding. | 86 · 69 · 42 · 65 |
| PT-141 | 47 | An approved product exists. One approved product, Vyleesi, an autoinjector for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Compounded bremelanotide is not approved. | 47 · 42 · 22 · 33 |
| GHK-Cu | 38 | 503A Category 1. No approved product. GHK-Cu is on FDA's Category 1 list except for injectable routes, where its nomination was withdrawn. | 38 · 33 · 24 · 32 |
| BPC-157 | 12 | Nomination withdrawn. No approved product. Its nomination for 503A compounding was withdrawn, so it sits on no interim list; FDA's advisory committee discussed it on July 23, 2026. | 12 · 9 · 4 · 7 |
| Liraglutide | 11 | An approved product exists. Approved as Victoza and Saxenda. | 11 · 10 · 3 · 10 |
| Tesamorelin | 9 | An approved product exists. Approved as Egrifta, which FDA has regulated as a biologic since March 23, 2020. | 9 · 6 · 3 · 4 |
| TB-500 | 7 | Nomination withdrawn. No approved product. Its nomination for 503A compounding was withdrawn, so it sits on no interim list. | 7 · 6 · 2 · 4 |

| Epitalon | 3 | Nomination withdrawn. No approved product. Its nomination for 503A compounding was withdrawn, so it sits on no interim list. | 3 · 3 · 2 · 2 |
| Retatrutide | 1 | Cannot be compounded. No approved product, and FDA states that it cannot be used in compounding under federal law. | 1 · 0 · 0 · 1 |
What “prescribed” looks like on the page
167 of the 167 telehealth records name a prescriber, which is close to the floor for being a telehealth service at all. The criteria that separate them come after. Of the 130 services listing a peptide beyond the GLP-1s, 66 name the pharmacy that fills the order, and 99 say on their own pages that a compounded drug is not FDA-approved. The rest leave a reader to assume where the vial comes from and what status it has.
Listings outside the approved and Category 1 set
12 services list a molecule that has no approved product and whose nomination for 503A compounding was withdrawn, or that FDA says cannot be compounded at all. This is a fact about the listing, recorded as the seller printed it. It is not a finding that any order was filled, and the page states no view on what a pharmacy may lawfully make.

Pages that call an unapproved product FDA-approved
The telehealth sites in the ledger were read for the words FDA-approved beside a product they sell. These sentences were on the page in September 2026. Sermorelin has had no approved product since FDA withdrew the approval of Geref, effective June 18, 2009. The only approved bremelanotide is Vyleesi, an autoinjector for premenopausal women; a compounded PT-141 injection, nasal spray or troche is not that product. A compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide is not Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.

The same article also saysIt’s crucial to note that Sermorelin isn’t currently FDA-approved for adult use
.
A claim on a page that sells the product fails S4 on that record, because it contradicts the disclosure the criterion asks for. The same sentence in an article, on a site whose product pages carry the disclosure, is quoted in the record and does not change the disposition.
What this does not say
It does not say any service prescribes inappropriately, and it does not rank the services. A molecule on FDA's Category 1 list can be compounded for an individual patient under section 503A while FDA evaluates it; a molecule whose nomination was withdrawn sits on no interim list, and FDA's pages say what that means. Each record carries its own reading date and its eight dispositions.

Related findings
How many sellers say the compounded drug is not FDA-approved?Fewer than the headline rate suggests. S4 has the highest pass rate of any criterion because a large block of sellers passes it by selling no compounded drugs at all; among the sellers the disclosure actually applies to, a real minority omits it.
Who sells retatrutide, a drug still in phase 3 trials?Research vendors sell it, labeled for laboratory use, several of them under a code rather than its name, while the maker has not filed it for approval and FDA states that it cannot be used in compounding.
Which laboratories sign the research vendors' test reports?A handful of laboratories sign most of the reports, few of them state an accreditation on their own sites, and some vendors credit a laboratory on the homepage that signs none of their documents.
Who stopped trading after Peptide Sciences closed?Few closed outright. More moved their catalogs behind an account or a password, and most still sell to a visitor, many behind an attestation screen.
