The verdict
No — the mechanism the marketing relies on does not transfer cleanly to systemic dosing.
By source — cost, legality, risk
- FDA-approved brandNot availableNone — no FDA approvalNo brand exists.
- Compounded 503ANot availableNot legally compoundedNot a recognized therapeutic; no 503A pathway.
- RUO research-chemical site$60–$140/moSold for research onlyHighest. Entire off-label market; identity, purity, PEGylation efficiency unverified.
- Gray-market overseas raw$17–$22/moIllegal to import for human useHighest. Small gray market; PEGylation status almost never verified on the gray side.
