Peptide ChooserPeptides for sex drive, compared with the approved option.
One peptide is FDA approved here: bremelanotide, sold as Vyleesi, for low sexual desire in premenopausal women, on prescription. The PT-141 sold by research-use shops is the same molecule without the approval, the dose control or the checks. Melanotan II, a tanning peptide also sold for libido, is approved nowhere.
