Not all probiotics are created equal.

Ortho Biotic®’s advanced formulation and protective delivery help preserve potency through digestion, so the organisms your patients take are the organisms that reach the gut.

Formulated with strain-specific probiotics selected for their stability under gastric and intestinal conditions, Ortho Biotic® supports delivery of viable bacteria where they are needed most.

An FDA advisory committee has voted to recommend allowing six peptides—including BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, Epitalon, and Semax—to be compounded by licensed pharmacies if the FDA ultimately approves the recommendation. This is an important step, but it is not a final FDA decision.

What does this mean?
✅ Potential for increased access through regulated compounding pharmacies
✅ Greater physician oversight compared to products sold through unregulated online sources
⚠️ These peptides are still not FDA-approved medications, and high-quality human studies evaluating their long-term safety and effectiveness remain limited.

As interest in regenerative and longevity medicine continues to grow, it's important to separate emerging science from proven therapies. We'll continue to follow the FDA's decision and share updates as they become available.

Have questions about peptide therapy? Talk with your healthcare provider to determine what treatment options are appropriate for your individual health goals.
