The wire
- 01The Verge confirmed on October 20 that TikTok searches for several peptides, including BPC-157, retatrutide and semaglutide, returned no results, while alternate spellings and the generic term still worked; TikTok did not immediately comment.
- 02Search restrictions cut into the main discovery channel for gray-market peptide sellers and for telehealth marketing, after monthly search volume for the term rose from about 201,000 in April 2025 to more than 1.2 million by March 2026.
- 03Scope and permanence of the block are unconfirmed, creators' claims of account bans are unverified, and BPC-157, TB-500 and injectable GHK-Cu remain without FDA approval as drugs.
