Summary

FDA issued a Warning Letter to Lovega LLC dba Pink Pony Peptides for marketing and selling unapproved new drugs, including peptide products GLP-2 TZ, GLP-3 RT, and Bacteriostatic Water. The products were found to be marketed with therapeutic claims despite labeling stating 'not for human consumption.' FDA determined the products meet the definition of new drugs under the FD&C Act and require approved applications before sale.

What changed

FDA determined that Pink Pony Peptides' GLP-2 TZ, GLP-3 RT, and Bacteriostatic Water products are unapproved new drugs under sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act. The products are marketed with explicit therapeutic claims including appetite reduction, fat loss, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic improvement despite labeling that attempts to disclaim human use. The sale of Bacteriostatic Water alongside injectable peptide products demonstrates intended use for human injection.\n\nAffected parties including manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of unapproved peptide products face immediate compliance risks. Companies must either obtain FDA approval through the NDA process or cease marketing these products. Injectable drug products bypassing the body's natural defenses pose serious public health risks when unapproved. FDA expects written responses addressing specific violations and planned corrective actions.

What to do next

  1. Cease distribution and sale of all unapproved drug products (GLP-2 TZ, GLP-3 RT, Bacteriostatic Water) immediately
  2. Obtain FDA approval via a new drug application (NDA) before marketing any of these products, or discontinue them entirely
  3. Provide a written response to FDA within 15 business days detailing corrective actions taken

Penalties

Potential enforcement actions include seizure of products, injunction, and/or criminal prosecution for continued violations of the FD&C Act

WARNING LETTER

March 31, 2026

RE: 721088

Susan Vega:

This letter is to advise you that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed your website at https://pinkponypeptides.com/ in December 2025. The FDA has observed that your website offers “GLP-2 TZ,” “GLP-3 RT,” and “Bacteriostatic Water” (hereinafter Pink Pony Peptides 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 “laboratory research purposes only” and “[n]ot for human 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 for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease and/or intended to 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-2 TZ
On the webpage https://pinkponypeptides.com/product/glp2/:

  • “As a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, Tirzepatide helps: o . . . Reduce appetite and increase satiety o . . . Enhance insulin sensitivity and glucose control o . . . Curb cravings without harsh stimulants o . . . Support fat loss over time with clinical precision Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, Tirzepatide has rapidly become a favorite among physicians and wellness experts for its dramatic body recomposition results and long-lasting appetite regulation.”

GLP-3 RT
On the webpage https://pinkponypeptides.com/product/glp3/:

  • “As a GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor agonist, Retatrutide offers three times the fat-fighting horsepower in one clean, clinical ride. This cutting-edge peptide has shown jaw-dropping results in clinical trials — helping the body torch fat, suppress appetite, regulate blood sugar, and even improve metabolic function better than its single-pathway competitors.” Bacteriostatic Water Your firm offers “Bacteriostatic Water” for sale alongside peptide products, which are drugs intended for injection and require reconstitution, including the two above-mentioned GLP products. The sale of these products together demonstrates that you intend for your “Bacteriostatic Water” to be used in combination for injection. Therefore, your “Bacteriostatic Water” is a drug.

Your Pink Pony Peptides 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 “721088” in the subject line of the email.
