What it is
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Your body uses many of them as signals that guide healing, hormones, sleep and immunity. Therapeutic peptides copy or support those signals and are usually given as small injections under the skin.
Commonly used peptides include BPC-157 and thymosin beta-4 for tissue repair, CJC-1295 with ipamorelin to support growth hormone release, and selank for anxiety and focus. Some peptides are long-established medicines, but most of these have mainly animal or early human research, so they're best used with a physician's guidance.
What happens at a visit
- A health review and labs to match peptides to your goals.
- A prescription for specific peptides, if they're a good fit.
- Training on handling, storing and injecting them under the skin.
- A starting dose, with check-ins to adjust it.
- Regular follow-ups to track how you respond.
Who it is for
- Athletes supporting recovery and performance
- People with injuries that are slow to heal
- People with healthy aging and longevity goals
- People looking for support with focus or stress
- People who want a physician-guided peptide plan
Evidence and safety
Most healing and wellness peptides, like BPC-157, have mainly animal studies and small human studies, so results in people are less certain. They are usually well tolerated, and redness at the injection site is the most common side effect. Quality and purity vary widely, so work with a physician who sources pharmaceutical-grade peptides. Rules differ by place. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a history of cancer should talk with their doctor first.
