So it kind of gets at...

the expectation that he is going to institute some kind of change here.

The argument that he and many of his allies make who are big in this peptide space is that it's already a wild west out there in peptides.

People are already getting this stuff and injecting it into themselves.

Their argument is it's being done.

We might as well, A, have people have access to safe substances that they're injecting into themselves and B, have them be American made.

So that's been a huge part of kind of the context swirling around this is that we've done it before.

They say it was being done safely here until the FDA made this change.

two plus years ago.

Let's go back to that.

And now we'll be in this situation where people will have more freedom to experiment with these types of things, but to do it in a way where they're under the care of a provider who's prescribing it to them.

It's being made here in the U.S.

They'll know the sourcing of the ingredients.

It'll just be, it'll be better all around for both consumer safety and the U.S.

for large.

There have been lots of indications from people who are very active in this space who, you know, talk to Secretary Kennedy that something is coming on this.

And that only ramped up more once the secretary went on Joe Rogan's podcast and basically said as much in February.

I have been refreshing the webpage that would contain such an update for several weeks now, and nothing's changed.

So, you know, this is...

the type of thing where there are like I's to be dotted and T's to be crossed on the FDA side.
