A recent investigation by WIRED has revealed that popular 'peptide' supplements sold at bodegas and online—marketed as anti-aging or performance-enhancing miracle products—are largely mislabeled, with lab tests showing they contain no actual peptides. The study analyzed four widely circulated products, including brands like NuBiology and BioViva, sourced from retailers in New York City and across the U.S.
Results confirmed that these items contained only common amino acids, fillers, and trace amounts of non-peptide compounds, not the complex chains of amino acids that define true peptides. Despite aggressive marketing claims, none met the biochemical definition of peptides, exposing a critical gap in regulatory oversight.
