Quick answer: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals in the body. Interest in them is high, and the evidence and regulatory status vary a great deal from one peptide to the next.
How it works
- Consultation. A clinician reviews your goals and health history.
- Honest discussion. We explain the evidence, the regulatory status and the risks of any option.
- Monitoring. If you proceed, we follow up and adjust.
Important to know
Many peptides are not FDA-approved. We will not make claims that a peptide treats a disease, and we will decline to offer something we think is not appropriate.

Important information. Many peptides are not approved by the FDA for any use, and some are not approved for human use. Availability at our clinics is decided by our medical director and may change. Nothing on this page is a claim that a peptide treats, cures or prevents any condition. Results vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Whether a treatment is appropriate for you is a medical decision made by a licensed clinician after an evaluation.
