- 01Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced the Peptides for Veterans Act, directing VA Secretary Doug Collins to review existing peptide regulations and guidance within 180 days, then run an 18-month study of peptide-based therapies.
- 02The bill targets recovery, rehabilitation, chronic pain, mental health and other service-connected conditions, and would be the first federal mandate putting VA in charge of evaluating peptides for veterans and first responders.
- 03Peptide author and influencer Jay Campbell called the effort "a joke" and "useless," arguing VA lacks expertise; Mace is leaving Congress after this term and the bill has not been enacted.
