Legal status · Record reviewed
DSIP has no single legal status. It depends on the product and how it is supplied.
No FDA-approved U.S. product; the July 2026 advisory vote did not add DSIP to the 503A list. A research use only label does not make a product approved for people.
Pharmacy mixing (compounding): FDA had placed it in Category 2 for possible safety risks, and the request was then withdrawn (FDA page dated April 22, 2026).
Sports: we have no current sports-rule review for it yet.
Rules for buying, selling, and prescribing also depend on how a product is made and sold, and on state law.
Whether you may buy, sell, or use a product also depends on pharmacy (compounding) rules, a prescription, and state law. Read how U.S. peptide law works.

FDA had placed it in Category 2 for possible safety risks. The person who asked FDA to allow it in compounding then withdrew the request. FDA still lists its safety concerns and has not made a final decision. A withdrawn request is neither a ban nor an approval.
