Unapproved New Drugs - Mile High Compounds LLC GLP-1/GIP/Glucagon Peptide Compounds
Summary
FDA reviewed the website of Mile High Compounds LLC (https://milehighcompounds.is) from January to March 2026 and found that the firm offers unapproved new drugs — GLP-1 SM (Semaglutide), GLP-2 TRZ (Tirzepatide), GLP-3 RT (Retatrutide), and BAC Water — in violation of sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act. The products are marketed with dosing instructions for weight loss, addiction recovery, and metabolic control, despite labeling stating 'research and educational purposes only.' FDA has determined these are 'new drugs' under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act that require approved applications before sale. The firm has 15 working days to respond with corrective actions.
About this source
FDA Warning Letters are public notifications to firms the agency believes are significantly violating FDA regulations. Common triggers include Current Good Manufacturing Practice violations, unauthorized drug claims, substandard clinical trial conduct, unapproved marketing, and tobacco sales to minors. Letters require a written response within 15 working days. Around 75 letters land each month across drug manufacturers, medical device makers, tobacco retailers, and dietary supplement companies. Watch this if you run a regulated manufacturing operation, advise on FDA compliance, defend companies in enforcement matters, or track quality-system failures that precede recall events. GovPing publishes each letter with the recipient, agency division, and cited violations.
What changed
FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) issued a Warning Letter to Mile High Compounds LLC for offering unapproved new peptide drugs — GLP-1 SM (Semaglutide), GLP-2 TRZ (Tirzepatide), GLP-3 RT (Retatrutide), and BAC Water — for sale via its website. The products are classified as 'new drugs' under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for their marketed uses, and no approved applications under section 505 exist for these products. The violations carry civil penalties including seizure and injunction for non-compliance.
Any firm marketing compounded or research-labeled peptide products that make therapeutic claims (weight loss, addiction recovery, glycemic control) faces similar FDA scrutiny. Peptide compounding pharmacies and research-chemical suppliers should review their product labeling, marketing materials, and websites to ensure they do not represent products as drugs intended for human use without an approved application. The 15-working-day response deadline creates an immediate compliance window.
What to do next
- Provide a written response within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter detailing specific steps taken to correct any violations
- Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations
- Provide copies of related documentation
- Send response to FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov with firm name and identifier '721600' in the subject line

WARNING LETTER
March 31, 2026
RE: 721600
Max Radovanic:
This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at https://milehighcompounds.is, which links to your community forum www.skool.com/milehighcompoundsofficial/, from January to March 2026. The FDA has observed that your website offers “GLP-1 SM,” “GLP-2 TRZ,” “GLP-3 RT” and “BAC Water” (hereinafter Mile High Compounds products) for sale in the United States. Based on our review, these products 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).
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.
Despite statements on your product labeling marketing your products for “in vitro research and educational purposes only” and “not for human or veterinary consumption,” evidence obtained from your website establishes that your products are intended to be drugs for human use. Your products are drugs as defined by section 201(g)(1) of the FD&C Act 21, U.S.C. 321(g)(1), because they are intended to prevent, treat, or cure disease conditions and/or affect the structure or function of the body.
Examples from your product labeling, including on your website, that provide evidence of the intended use (as defined in 21 CFR 201.128) of these products as drugs include, but may not be limited to, the following:
GLP-3 RT
- On the webpage https://milehighcompounds.is/product/glp-3-rt/: “GLP-3 RT is a triple-receptor agonist compound targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors.”
- From “The Ultimate Mile High Compounds Peptide Cheat Sheet” available through www.skool.com/milehighcompoundsofficial/: o “GLP-3 RT (Retatrutide) Uses: Weight Loss, Addiction Recovery Dosing: Start: 1mg - 2mg weekly. Titrate up to: 12mg weekly.”

o “GLP-1 SM (Semaglutide)

BAC Water
Your firm offers “BAC Water” for sale alongside peptide products, which are drugs intended for injection and require reconstitution, including the above-mentioned products. The sale of these products together demonstrates that you intend for your “BAC Water” to be used in combination for injection. Therefore, your “BAC Water” is a drug.
Your Mile High Compounds products are “new drugs” under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 321(p), because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) for use under the above-described conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in their labeling. With certain exceptions not applicable here, a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce without an approved application from FDA in effect, as described in section 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355(a). No approved applications pursuant to section 505 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 355, are in effect for these products. Accordingly, these products are unapproved new drugs. The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of these unapproved new drug products violates sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. 331(d) and 355(a).
Conclusion
The violations cited in this letter are not intended to be an all-inclusive statement of violations that may exist in connection with your products. You are responsible for investigating and determining the causes of any violations and for preventing their recurrence or the occurrence of other violations. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firm complies with all requirements of federal law, including FDA regulations.
This letter notifies you of our concerns and provides you an opportunity to address them. Failure to adequately address this matter may lead to regulatory or legal action including, without limitation, seizure and injunction.
Please notify FDA in writing, within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct any violations. Include an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of violations, as well as copies of related documentation. If you believe that your products are not in violation of the FD&C Act, include your reasoning and any supporting information for our consideration. If you cannot complete corrective action within fifteen working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which you will complete the correction.
Your response should be sent to U.S. Food and Drug Administration, CDER/OC/Office of Unapproved Drugs and Labeling Compliance by email to FDAAdvisory@fda.hhs.gov. Please include your firm name and the unique identifier “721600” in the subject line of the email.
