Clear, sourced answers on FDA and state peptide rules, plus a workspace that checks your menu, suppliers and storage against them.
What changed this month
Approbata clinic workspace
Ready for the day an inspector walks in
Regulators tend to make an example of a few clinics. Approbata checks your own records against the same cited rules, so yours isn't one of them. These previews show Willow & Pine Aesthetics, a sample clinic filled with example records.
Supplier verification
A checklist for each pharmacy: license, nonresident and sterile permits, FDA registration, discipline and warning letters.
Inspection binder
A daily fridge log with excursion notes, beyond-use dates from USP <797>, and the documents inspectors ask for.
State rules
The federal rules that apply everywhere, verified notes for four states, board lookups for all 50 and a worksheet for yours.
How it works
Add what you offer and who supplies it
Type a peptide and its source. Approbata recognizes brand names, abbreviations and blends like CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin.
Get a status for each item
Each item is checked against the rule set's FDA categories, shortage status, biologic rules and state notes, plus your supplier's record, with the reason and the source.
Work the list down
Suggested tasks appear for anything flagged, from a missed fridge reading to an expired vial, and drop off once it's fixed.
Built on FDA, the Federal Register and state boards
Each status links to where it came from. I check for new FDA actions every week and publish every correction I make.
Free 30-day pilot
Open to the first 20 clinics
Free for 30 days, no card. I'll tell you the price before day 30. Bring your peptide list and suppliers to the demo, and you'll leave with your own workspace.
Approbata™ clinic workspace
See exactly where your clinic stands
Approbata checks what you offer, who supplies it and how you store it against the PeptideCheck™ rule set, with a source on every answer.
Sample clinic · read-only
Willow & Pine Aesthetics
An example med spa in Ohio, with a month of fridge readings, five suppliers and nine items on its menu. This is what your team sees, with your own records, once your clinic is set up.
Dashboard
Your menu, checked against the rules
Add each peptide and where it comes from. Approbata gives it a status, the reason and the first thing to do, and flags it when its supplier fails verification.
Supplier verification
Supplier checks you can show an inspector
State boards don't share their license data, so someone at your clinic still looks each record up. Approbata lists exactly what to check, links you to each lookup, and turns your answers into a result that follows the supplier to every menu item and lot. Each supplier comes due for a fresh check after 90 days.
Inspection binder
A binder that stays current
Log the fridge once a day with the reader's initials and record what you did after any excursion. Every entry keeps the time it was made, late entries are marked, and a correction never erases the original. Use-by dates come from the label, the USP <797> limit and the 28-day rule for punctured vials, whichever is earliest.
Alerts and to-dos
A to-do list that writes itself
When a rule changes or a record falls behind, a suggested task appears. It drops off once the problem is fixed, and you can track any of them on your own list.

About
Why I built Approbata™
Who's behind it, where the answers come from, and what happens when one is wrong.
Hi, I'm Seth.
I'm a nursing student, and I built Approbata because the rules for peptides are hard for clinics to follow. They're spread across FDA guidance, Federal Register notices, White House review, state boards of pharmacy and USP standards, and they've changed several times in 2026 alone.
Demand doesn't wait for the rules. Patients ask for what they've seen online, and clinics feel pressure to match the clinic down the street. Regulators, meanwhile, tend to make an example of a few. Ohio's Board of Pharmacy has issued summary suspensions where peptides were found.
Approbata is meant to be the neutral reference in the middle of that. It doesn't sell peptides or argue for them. It says what is permitted, what isn't and what is still pending, by source, with the document behind each answer, so your clinic isn't the example.
It started as PeptideCheck™, a free checker: type in a peptide and see whether a clinic can offer it right now, with the sources behind the answer. It now lives here as PeptideCheck by Approbata, and it stays free.
Approbata itself is the clinic workspace built on the same rules. It checks your menu, your suppliers and your inspection binder against them, so you know where you stand before an inspector asks.
I'm not a lawyer or a pharmacist. That's why every status links to its source, every correction is published, and nothing here replaces your medical director or healthcare counsel.
If you run a clinic or med spa, I'd like to hear what you offer and what's confusing. You can reach me at [email protected].

What I believe
Every answer has a source
Each status links to the FDA page, Federal Register notice, statute or summary it came from.
Say what I don't know
When the law is unsettled, I say so, and I label anything I couldn't confirm with an official record.
A starting point, not legal advice
Approbata helps you ask the right questions. Your medical director and healthcare counsel make the call.
No made-up proof
You won't find invented reviews, logos or customer counts here. I'll add real quotes when pilot clinics share them.
Where Approbata is today
How I review rules
Where the answers come from, and how current they are
Every status in PeptideCheck and Approbata links to its source. Here's what I read and how often I check.
Sources I use
Primary sources first. Secondary sources fill gaps until an official record is posted, and are labeled.
Primary: agencies, statutes and standards
Secondary: law-firm summaries and news
How often I check
What I don't do
How a status is decided
How I handle corrections
When a status is wrong, the fix is public
Tell me which status looks wrong and where you saw something different. I check it against the primary source. If it was wrong, I correct it, date the change and list it below. Rule-change alert subscribers get an email whenever a status changes.
Corrections log
Every change to a published status or fact, newest first. The rule set was first published Oct 22, 2026.

What Approbata™ is
Approbata offers two things: PeptideCheck™ by Approbata, a free library that summarizes published federal and state rules about peptides and compounded drugs with links to the sources, and the Approbata clinic workspace, which checks a clinic's own records against those rules.
Not legal or medical advice
Nothing on Approbata is legal, regulatory or medical advice. Rules change, and their application depends on your facts. Confirm decisions with your medical director and healthcare counsel.
Accuracy
I work to keep the rule set accurate and current, and I publish every correction, but I can't guarantee it is complete or error-free. Check the cited source before you act.
Your use of the workspace
- Don't enter patient names or other protected health information.
- You're responsible for the records you enter and the decisions you make from them.
- Features may change or be removed as the product develops.
The free pilot
The clinic workspace is free for 30 days, and I don't ask for a card. I'll tell you the price before day 30, and nothing is charged unless you agree to it. Either of us can end the pilot at any time. A short pilot agreement may set out the details for your clinic.
Your records
Your clinic's records are yours. You can download them at any time as CSV files and a full backup.

What I collect
- PeptideCheck™ and this site: you can use PeptideCheck by Approbata™ without an account, and this site doesn't save anything about you in your browser.
- The clinic workspace: pilot clinics' records are stored in Approbata's database on Cloudflare, along with a log of who added or changed each record and when. Sign-in uses Cloudflare Access, which emails you a one-time code and sets a sign-in cookie. I can see your clinic's records so I can support you during the pilot. The workspace also keeps a few settings in your browser, such as °C or °F and the last clinic you opened, and the practice example clinic's records.
- Contact form: when you send it, your name, email address, clinic, state, role and message are stored on Cloudflare so I can reply. To block spam, I also store a one-way hash of your IP address, not the address itself. The form also uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person is sending it.
- Rule-change alerts: if you sign up, I use your email address only to send the alerts. Reply to any alert to stop them.
- Booking a demo: scheduling is handled by Cal.com. The booking link opens Cal.com's own site, under its privacy policy. Nothing from Cal.com loads on Approbata's pages.
- Ask about a rule: if you use it, your question and the rule set are sent to Claude through your own Claude account.
- Hosting: Cloudflare hosts the site and receives basic request details such as your IP address in order to deliver it. The site's fonts are served from approbata.com itself. I don't run analytics or set tracking cookies.
Patient information
Approbata is not built to store protected health information. Please don't enter patient names, dates of birth or health details anywhere on the site.
