This warning letter advises you of significant violations observed during a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of your website. Promptly address the violations described herein without delay, including ensuring that appropriate resources are allocated to fully address the violations and prevent their recurrence. This is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations that may exist in connection with your products or operations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations. Failure to adequately address violations may result in regulatory or legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.

These products are especially concerning from a public health perspective because injectable drug products can pose risks of serious harm to users. Injectable products are delivered directly into the body, sometimes directly into the bloodstream, and therefore, bypass some of the body’s key defenses against toxins and microorganisms that can lead to serious and life-threatening conditions.

Violations were identified and documented during a review of your website nusciencepeptides.com in July 2026. Based on our review, “GLP-2 Tirz Peptide,” “GLP-1 Sema Research Peptide,” “GLP-3 RT (Retatrutide) Research Peptide,” “Survodutide,” “Mazdutide,” “PT-141 Peptide (Bremelanotide),” “Tesamorelin Research Peptide,” “Tesamorelin Ipamorelin Blend,” and “Bacteriostatic water for Peptides (BAC Water)” are unapproved new drugs under section 505(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), 21 U.S.C. 355(a). As explained further below, introducing or delivering these products for introduction into interstate commerce violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).

This review was conducted as part of FDA’s public health responsibility to protect the public from unsafe, ineffective, and poor-quality drugs.

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/glp-2-tz-2/:

“GLP-2 Tirz, a research peptide of significant interest, is known for its dual agonist activity on glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. This peptide has been extensively studied in rodent models, particularly rats, to explore its metabolic effects and potential therapeutic applications in various conditions. Researchers use these models to gain valuable insights into the complex mechanisms of metabolic regulation and the integrated actions of incretin hormones.”

On the webpage https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/56843331#datasheet=LCSS (hyperlinked from https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/glp-1-sm/):

“**Mechanism of cardiovascular benefit and weight loss** In hypercholesterolemia, semaglutide is believed to reduce the progression of atherosclerosis via decreased gut permeability and decreased inflammation. Weight loss is believed to occur via the reduction of appetite and food cravings after semaglutide administration.”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/glp-3-rt/:

“GLP-3 RT (Retatrutide) is a novel investigational peptide being explored for its potential research applications in metabolic disorders, particularly obesity and type 2 diabetes. Also known as LY3437943, it functions as a triple receptor agonist — a glp3 peptide that targets the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptor pathways simultaneously”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/survodutide/:

“Survodutide (BI 456906) is a dual agonist targeting both the glucagon receptor (GCGR) and the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), developed for laboratory research into obesity and type 2 diabetes metabolic pathways. Preclinical studies in rodent models have demonstrated its efficacy in promoting weight loss and improving glycemic control.”

“In conclusion, survodutide’s dual GCGR/GLP-1R agonism offers a multifaceted approach to treating metabolic disorders. Its efficacy in preclinical models supports further investigation and development as a subject of investigation for obesity and metabolic disorder research.”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/mazdutide/:

“Mazdutide (IBI362), a dual agonist targeting both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, has shown promising results in clinical trials for weight management and metabolic disorders. This mazdutide peptide has been extensively studied in humans, but preclinical research, particularly in rat models, remains limited.”

“Furthermore, mazdutide has been associated with reductions in liver fat content and improvements in insulin sensitivity in clinical trials, highlighting its potential for treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes.”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/pt-141-bremelanotide/:

“PT-141, also known as bremelanotide, is a synthetic PT-141 peptide classified as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors, with primary activity at MC3R and MC4R. This research peptide has been widely examined in preclinical models to better understand melanocortin-mediated signaling pathways involved in sexual behavior and neuroendocrine regulation.”

“Additional studies examining melanocortin receptor agonists support the role of PT-141 in modulating sexual behaviors across sexes through central nervous system pathways. The involvement of the melanocortin system highlights the relevance of PT-141 peptide in experimental research exploring neural control of sexual function.”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/tesamorelin/:

“Beyond metabolic effects, tesamorelin has demonstrated the ability to reduce muscle fat and increase muscle area in clinical studies . . . [s]uch findings are particularly relevant for exploring interventions in muscle-wasting conditions.”

“Furthermore, research indicates that tesamorelin may enhance cognitive function, including improvements in executive function and verbal memory.”

On the webpage https://nusciencepeptides.com/product/tesamorelin-ipamorelin/:

“Tesamorelin, a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, has been shown to significantly reduce visceral adipose tissue and improve liver health by decreasing liver fat and preventing fibrosis progression.”

“[R]esearch has indicated that ipamorelin can counteract glucocorticoid-induced reductions in bone formation, suggesting its potential in mitigating bone density loss associated with glucocorticoid therapy.”

Your firm offers “Bacteriostatic water for Peptides (BAC Water)” for sale to be used to reconstitute the peptide products sold on your website, which are drugs intended for injection, including the above-mentioned products. The sale of these products together demonstrates that you intend for your “Bacteriostatic water for Peptides (BAC Water)” to be used in combination for injection. Therefore, your “Bacteriostatic water for Peptides (BAC Water)” is a drug.
