Account protection

Posting research compounds on Meta without losing the account

Instagram and Facebook run on the same rulebook. Three standards decide whether peptide-adjacent content survives: drugs & pharmaceuticals (no promotion of prescription or unapproved substances), unsafe substances & supplements (no claims for products Meta deems unsafe), and restricted goods & services (no offers to sell). The third one is the dangerous one — offers to sell are actioned against the whole account, not just the post.

What gets accounts banned

  • A dose in the caption (“5mg weekly”)

    Reads as human-use directions for an unapproved substance — top cause of removals and repeat-strike bans.

    Do this: Say “dosing reference available in the research hub” and keep numbers off-platform.

  • Injection or reconstitution language

    Implies human administration; also pulls in medical-device and drug-paraphernalia review.

    Do this: Talk about handling and storage of lab material in neutral terms, or omit entirely.

  • Benefit claims (fat loss, muscle growth, healing)

    Health claim for an unsafe/unapproved substance under Meta's unsafe-substances standard.

    Do this: Describe the receptor or pathway studied: “studied for incretin-receptor signalling”.

  • Price, stock, discount, “DM to order”

    Offer to sell a restricted good — enforced at the account level, not just the post.

    Do this: No commerce terms at all. Point to an educational page, never a cart.

  • Before/after or physique photos

    Body-transformation imagery is restricted for supplement-adjacent accounts.

    Do this: Lab visuals: vials, data cards, typography, protocol diagrams without numbers.

  • Compound-name hashtags

    Tags like #semaglutide or #bpc157 are monitored and frequently restricted.

    Do this: Use #researchuseonly #labresearch #invitroresearch instead.

  • Linking straight to the store

    A bio or ad link that lands on a product/checkout page is treated as an offer to sell.

    Do this: Link to /start — a neutral research-use confirmation page that gates the catalog.

  • Replying to “how much do I take?” DMs

    A public or saved reply with dosing is enforceable evidence of consumer-directed use.

    Do this: Reply with the research-only disclaimer and stop the thread.

The eight standing rules

No doses, routes or schedules

Meta's drugs & pharmaceuticals standard treats dosing instructions for unapproved substances as promotion of human use. Keep mg/mcg amounts, injection language and titration tables inside the app — never in a caption or on a story image.

No outcome or benefit claims

Fat loss, muscle growth, healing, recovery, appetite control, anti-aging: pairing any of these with a compound is a health claim for an unsafe/unapproved substance and is the most common cause of account-level review.

No offers to sell

Community Standards action accounts that offer, solicit or coordinate the sale of restricted drugs. Avoid price, stock status, discounts, 'DM to order' and direct product/cart links in social posts.

No before/after or body imagery

Body-transformation imagery and weight numbers are restricted under commerce and unsafe-supplement standards. Keep visuals lab-oriented: vials, data, typography.

Always carry the RUO disclaimer

Every post, image and bio should state research use only, not for human consumption. It is not a shield for claims, but its absence makes claims look consumer-directed.

Keep purchase intent off-platform

Send social traffic to a neutral educational landing page that confirms research use first, then lets a qualified visitor continue to the catalog. Never point an ad or bio link straight at checkout.

Avoid swept hashtags

Compound-name and weight-loss hashtags are actively monitored and often restricted. Use research/laboratory tags instead.

Protect the account itself

Enable 2FA, keep a backup account, don't run compound content and store promos from the same handle, and never re-post user DMs asking about human use — answer with the research-only disclaimer.

Caption checker

Every share surface in this app runs captions through the same filter. Here it is on a deliberately non-compliant draft so you can see what gets stripped.

Post safely on Instagram & Facebook

Policy-safe

Meta removes content — and can ban accounts — for dosing instructions, health claims or offers to sell research compounds. This caption is filtered for all three before it leaves the app.

Removed 9 risky elements

  • Dosage amounts — “2mg”. A numeric dose reads as human-use instructions for an unapproved substance — Meta's drugs & pharmaceuticals policy.
  • Dosage amounts — “250-500mcg”. A numeric dose reads as human-use instructions for an unapproved substance — Meta's drugs & pharmaceuticals policy.
  • Dose frequency / titration — “titrate”. Frequency and escalation schedules are dosing directions for human use.
  • Dose frequency / titration — “every 4 weeks”. Frequency and escalation schedules are dosing directions for human use.
  • Route of administration — “subcutaneous”. Injection/administration language implies human consumption.
  • Human outcome claim — “healing”. Pairing a compound with a body/health outcome is a health claim for an unapproved substance.
