Are Peptides Legal in Brazil?

Semaglutide and other approved peptides are available by prescription from licensed pharmacies. Research peptides exist in a grey area, and importing them requires proper documentation. Travelers should be aware that ANVISA can seize undocumented shipments at customs, and bringing peptides into the country without paperwork is risky.
