When will the FDA review LL-37?

It wasn't on the July 2026 agenda. Analysts of the April 2026 action expect the remaining peptides to be reviewed at a later meeting (reported as early 2027); no official FDA notice had confirmed a date as of July 2026.1 2

Isn't LL-37 made by the body?

Yes - LL-37 is a natural human antimicrobial peptide. That doesn't make a manufactured, injected version approved or proven; it remains investigational.3

Is LL-37 legal in the United States in 2026?

LL-37 is not an FDA-approved drug and has no cleared compounding pathway. It was removed from Category 2 in April 2026 but is not on the July 2026 agenda; a later review is expected.2 1

The vote is advisory. The decision that shapes access comes later - if and when the FDA opens a formal public comment window. Most people never hear it opened. Join the list and we'll tell you the instant it does, with step-by-step instructions to file a comment that counts.
