> Plain facts on peptides for cats: what is known, what isn't, and which sellers prove what's in the product. Not veterinary advice, and we never recommend a dose.

Key facts: no peptide here is FDA-approved for animals, and no trial testing any of them as a treatment in cats has been published. None of the 4 sellers shows a lab document for what it sells. Some links are paid and marked; payment never changes a ranking.
