Peptides are short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that act as natural signaling molecules in the body, helping regulate functions like healing, metabolism, immunity, and hormone balance.

Different peptides target different goals, including:

• Weight loss & metabolism (Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide, AOD-9604)

• Muscle growth & recovery (IGF-1 LR3, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, BPC-157, TB-500)

• Anti-aging & vitality (GHK-Cu, NAD+, MOTS-c, Sermorelin)

• Skin, hair & aesthetics (GHK-Cu, Glow Blend, Melanotan II)

• Cognitive support & mood (Selank, Semax)

Most peptides are given as a small subcutaneous injection (just under the skin), similar to an insulin shot. Some may also be available in oral or nasal spray form depending on the peptide.

When prescribed through a licensed medical provider and sourced from a pharmacy-grade compounding pharmacy, peptides are considered safe and effective. They mimic natural processes in the body, but like any treatment, they should be medically supervised.

• Weight loss peptides: noticeable changes in 4–8 weeks.

• Healing/recovery peptides: improvements often within 2–4 weeks.

• Anti-aging & skin peptides: visible benefits in 1–3 months.
  Results vary depending on goals, consistency, and lifestyle.

Yes. All peptides are prescription-only and require routine monitoring with our nurse practitioners to ensure safety, proper dosing, and optimal results.

Peptides stimulate the body’s natural signaling pathways (like growth hormone release or tissue repair), while steroids directly supply synthetic hormones. Peptides are generally safer, more targeted, and less likely to cause harsh side effects.

Yes — when prescribed by a licensed provider and dispensed through an approved compounding pharmacy, peptide therapy is fully legal and compliant with medical regulations.
