Assessment
Israel's Health Ministry is warning the public about unregulated peptide drugs sold for weight loss, muscle gain, and anti-aging. These products, including the experimental obesity drug Retatrutide still in clinical trials, are circulating illegally as pills and injections. The ministry specifically named BPC-157, GHK-Cu, CJC-1295, and TB-500 as dangerous substances. With no official registration or quality control, buyers risk serious health complications from unknown ingredients and improper dosing. Watch for enforcement actions against distributors and whether the ministry issues further guidance on identifying counterfeit products.
