Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Depending on the peptide, they can stimulate growth hormone release, accelerate tissue repair, regulate appetite, or support immune function. They work by binding to specific receptors and triggering targeted biological responses.

Most peptides are administered via small subcutaneous injections, similar to insulin. Your provider will train you on self-injection technique so you can continue your protocol comfortably at home. Some peptides are available as oral or nasal formulations where appropriate.

This varies by peptide and goal. Weight loss peptides typically show measurable results within 4–8 weeks. Recovery and performance peptides like BPC-157 are often felt within 1–2 weeks. Growth hormone peptides like Sermorelin generally require 2–3 months for optimal effect.

When prescribed and monitored by a licensed medical provider, peptide therapy is considered safe for most healthy adults. All protocols are individualized based on your health history, goals, and bloodwork.

For most peptide protocols, baseline bloodwork is recommended to ensure safety and help us track your progress. We can coordinate lab work directly through our concierge services so everything is handled for you.
