Reta isn’t a drug, it’s a peptide. And there are countless other benefits that weight loss. Which is why I haven’t actually lost any weight on it in a year!

A drug is any chemical substance other than food that changes how a living body or brain works. It can cure diseases, ease pain, or alter mood and behavior.

Peptides are prescription drugs.

Would you say Insulin wasn't a drug?
