This, right here 🎯💯. I’ve been trying to communicate this to people, as a native 🇨🇦, for a year now. Again, the fact that this wasn’t immediately seen as a presidency-ending, beyond-the-pale thing for all 535 Congresspeople, the media, & the public is deeply ugly & shameful for us as a country.

The field of peptide therapeutics is exploding with many new approvals in the last decade. However, the manufacturing of peptide therapeutics is lagging behind. We have been investing in novel approaches to manufacture peptides since 2016.

“because dietary supplements aren’t reviewed before they’re sold, the products can contain different amounts of ingredients than what’s listed on the label — or ingredients not listed at all.”
And now they want to relax warning labels for dietary supplements
