—02What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids- the same building blocks that make up proteins, but in smaller sequences (typically 2–50 amino acids long). Think of them as mini-proteins. Many occur naturally in the body and play a vital role in many biological processes, acting as signals that tell cells what to do. Some common peptides that have been used in medicine for years include insulin and the popular GLP/GIP medications semaglutide and tirzepatide.
—03How are peptides used?
Peptides can be utilized across a wide spectrum of health and wellness goals- from muscle and tissue recovery to reduced inflammation, improved body composition and weight loss with sermorelin, skin rejuvenation and collagen production with GHKcu, and mitochondrial support for sustained energy and mental clarity with NAD+. It is important to have a clinician to guide these therapies, as each individual's needs will be unique and results will vary/ are not guaranteed.
—04Where are therapies sourced?
Our peptides are sourced from licensed 503A pharmacies in the US. These pharmacies require patient prescriptions from licensed medical providers, and are subject to rigorous standards.
—05How long does it take to experience benefits?
Results from therapy develop gradually as the body adapts to improved cellular signaling. Timelines vary based on individual goals and treatment plans. Most patients experience:
Improved energy and sleep within the first few weeks.
Changes in body composition— including fat loss and muscle development — beginning around two to three months.
Enhanced skin texture, tone, and elasticity that continues to improve over several months.
Faster workout recovery noticeable within the first few weeks.
Improved cognitive function and immune support generally within one to two months.
