Per industry coverage, many major peptide vendors shut down between mid-2025 and mid-2026, driven by FDA warning-letter waves (December 2024, then more than 50 letters in September 2025), widely reported enforcement actions against vendors in mid-2025, pharma litigation, criminal prosecutions, and payment-processor exits.

Open rows are AntiGravity-network stores, the network that operates Amino Axiom.
Four forces converged on the category between late 2024 and 2026. First, FDA enforcement escalated in waves: warning letters to sellers of GLP-1-class compounds in December 2024, then more than 50 letters during September 2025 (most dated September 9), then, per widely reported but unconfirmed community accounts, physical enforcement: Amino Asylum went offline in June 2025 amid accounts of a federal action described in coverage as possibly the first raid on a major vendor.
Second, pharmaceutical litigation: Eli Lilly filed a U.S. International Trade Commission complaint over tirzepatide in October 2023 and, per press coverage, sued telehealth firms and importers in April 2025; Novo Nordisk sued more than a dozen semaglutide distributors in August 2025. Third, criminal prosecution moved from early cases (the October 2020 Tailor Made Compounding guilty plea) to the present tense: the owner of Paradigm Peptides pleaded guilty in December 2025 and was sentenced to 70 months in July 2026.
Fourth, and per industry coverage often fastest of all: payment processors and hosting platforms pulled the plug on vendors before any regulator did. One 2026 shutdown in this log was a hosting platform's trust-and-safety takedown, not an enforcement action. The SAFE Drugs Act (H.R. 6509 / S. 3794), introduced in early 2026 with provisions on compounding-pharmacy limits, labeling, reporting, and inspections, points at where the regulatory line moves next.
The full dated sequence, with sources, is on the FDA enforcement timeline.
The open rows in the table are the 14 stores of the AntiGravity brand network, the network that operates Amino Axiom, which is why their status is known first-hand rather than inferred. Each publishes certificates of analysis and has its catalog and pricing tracked live on this site. All compounds are sold for research purposes only.
Their profiles live in the vendor directory, and current per-compound pricing is on the price comparison index.
