Peptides for performance

Peptides marketed for sport and performance overlap heavily with the recovery and growth-hormone categories. Many sit outside the ARTG and outside any lawful supply pathway in Australia.

Regulation note: Performance use of peptides may also intersect with anti-doping rules (e.g. WADA) for competitive athletes. That is a separate framework from TGA regulation.
