Nevada Regulators Fine Peptide Providers at Anti-Aging Festival Where Two Women Became Critically Ill

AI Summary

long article 4 min

Nevada regulators have fined several individuals and an organization involved in offering peptide injections at the Revolution Against Aging and Death Festival (RAADFest) in Las Vegas last July. The fines, totaling $35,000, were levied against a California-licensed doctor and pharmacist, an "integrative health coach," and a Texas-based private membership association called Forgotten Formula. The citations stem from an incident where two women became critically ill after receiving peptide injections at a booth operated by Dr. Kent Holtorf, who was offering alternative health therapies. Forgotten Formula is accused of unlicensed wholesaling of drugs by mailing the peptides to the festival. While the women have recovered, the Nevada Pharmacy Board was unable to determine the cause of their illness due to the inability to test the injected serums.
