It is important to understand that the landscape of peptide regulation is mixed. While some peptides have undergone rigorous testing and are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), like GLP1s and Tesamorelin for specific medical conditions, a significant number of others have not been evaluated. The use of peptides that have not been evaluated and approved by the FDA, or the use of FDA-approved peptides for purposes other than their specified indication, is known as 'off-label' use. 

Peptides not intended for human use, often marketed as "research peptides," pose significant health risks. These products are not subject to the same quality control and safety standards as those produced by 503A compounding pharmacies.

The primary dangers of peptides that do not come from 503A compounding pharmaciaes include:

•Contamination: These products can be contaminated with harmful substances, including heavy metals, bacteria, or other unknown compounds. This is due to a lack of regulation in their manufacturing process.

•Lack of Lab Regulation: The laboratories producing these peptides are not required to follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which are the standards the FDA requires for pharmaceutical production. This means there is no guarantee of the product's purity, potency, or even its identity.

•Increased Cancer Risk: Some contaminants or impurities in unregulated peptides could have carcinogenic properties, potentially increasing the risk of cancer with long-term use.

Our pricing reflects our commitment to safety and quality. We exclusively use peptides from 503A compounding pharmacies. These pharmacies are regulated by the FDA and are held to strict standards for quality and purity.

The procing also includes the medical expertise of our providers, and the abilityto create a personalized safe treatment plan . Our medical team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and monitor your progress to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the therapy.This comprehensive approach provides a safe and effective framework for peptide therapy.

The FDA has approved a number of peptide drugs for various medical applications. Some examples include:

•GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide, liraglutide): Used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

•GHRH (Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone) analogs (e.g., tesamorelin): Used to treat lipodystrophy in HIV patients.

•Calcitonin: Used for the treatment of osteoporosis.

•Insulin: A well-known peptide hormone used to treat diabetes.

This is not an exhaustive list. The field of peptide therapeutics is rapidly evolving, with new peptides gaining FDA approval. During your consultation this information is covered by your medical provider. 

Getting started with our peptide therapy program is a straightforward process:

1.Book Your Initial Consultation: The first step is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our medical providers. This will establish you as a patient in our practice.
