WADA Prohibited List

The WADA Prohibited List is the global register of substances banned in competitive sport, published annually by the World Anti-Doping Agency with effect from January 1. Two of the peptides on this site — BPC-157 and TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) — are on the Prohibited List. Most others are not. Being on the WADA Prohibited List doesn't make a substance illegal in the general sense. It means competitive athletes subject to WADA testing face sanctions if the substance is detected. The prohibition applies to sport, not to general purchase or use by non-athletes (regulatory status for that is a separate question determined by national law and FDA rules). The List is updated each January. A substance's status can change. For that reason, making a static claim that something is "WADA-permitted" or "WADA-legal" in editorial content is a bad idea — the list may have moved. The correct frame: check the current year's published list, link to it, and note the review date. For military personnel, the US Department of Defense Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) program publishes parallel advisories. BPC-157 specifically has a DoD OPSS advisory flagging it as unsafe for use by service members.
