The "Legal" Peptide Scam Targeting Chiropractors
By Wade Emmert
Chiropractors across the country are being inundated by vendors offering "turnkey, completely legal, zero-risk" solutions to sell peptides, GLP-1s, and hormone replacement therapies directly to their patients for a cut of the revenue.
It sounds like easy money, but it is actually a massive compliance nightmare.
In this episode, health law attorney Wade Emmert breaks down the convoluted FDA regulations surrounding compounded peptides. Wade explains why almost all of the popular peptides being sold today - including BPC-157 and compounded semaglutide salts - are actually being compounded illegally.
If you are a chiropractor or clinic owner referring patients to these peptide vendors, you are placing yourself directly in the chain of civil and criminal liability.
