Peptides are small proteins or snippets of proteins that send messages to our cells, rather than being broken down into amino acids. Scientists have discovered over 7,000 peptides with many of them naturally occurring in humans.
Therapeutic peptides are synthesized in the lab for purity, and function like natural peptides do in your body. They are bio-identical to the natural version or can even be improved to make them safer or more effective.
Peptides are essential building blocks in the body, acting as messenger molecules that regulate and optimize a wide range of biological processes. These short chains of amino acids bind to receptors on cells, signaling them to perform specific functions—whether it's enhancing metabolism, supporting immune health, promoting tissue repair, or optimizing hormone levels. Peptides orchestrate numerous processes, such as:
- Hormone production and signaling
- Wound and tissue healing and regeneration
- Immune functions
- Metabolic functions
- Brain and neurological functions
- Physical performance
- Reproduction and sexual health
- Anti-aging processes
- Mitochondrial function
- Muscle building
- Sleep and circadian rhythm
While HRT focuses on restoring hormone levels, peptide therapy works by stimulating natural biological processes. Peptides help regulate and optimize functions like metabolism, sleep, muscle recovery, and cognitive health without directly replacing hormones.
No! While peptides can enhance muscle growth and performance, they are also used for anti-aging, weight loss, cognitive function, overall wellness, and more.
Yes! Because peptides are naturally found in the body, they are well-tolerated with minimal side effects when used correctly under medical supervision.
Some peptides are FDA-approved for specific conditions, while others are prescribed off-label based on clinical research and practitioner expertise. Our team ensures that all peptides are sourced responsibly and used within legal and medical best practices.
Refrigerate injectable peptides to maintain potency.
Store oral or topical peptides at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Always follow storage instructions provided with your order.
Certain peptides work synergistically for enhanced benefits. Your provider will determine the right combination and dosing schedule based on your health goals.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double dose to make up for a missed injection.
Yes! If traveling with injectable peptides:
- Keep them in a travel cooler with ice packs.
- Bring a copy of your prescription.
- Check airline policies on carrying medications.
All of our peptides are made with pharmaceutical grade raw materials from FDA certified labs manufactured here in the USA. All finished compounded formulas are compounded in the US in cGMP certified compounding pharmacies.
Sure, you can buy cheaper peptides online that use inferior, research-grade materials, don't follow cGMP standards to verify purity, quality, or efficacy, or give you access to medical provider guidance, but why would you want to put your health at risk? We never compromise on regulations, quality, or US-derived ingredients.
Each patient is different. Sometimes, you can be what is called a "hyper-responder" and feel results immediately after starting, while others may take a week or two, and others may take a few weeks. What is certain is that everyone begins to notice positive changes. Be prepared to invest up to 6 months to get where you want to be.
Here’s a hypothetical timeline for a program that prescribes our Fat Burner and Performance Blends.
MONTH 1: Increased energy and stamina; deeper, more restful sleep, reduced body fat/weight, feel more content/positive attitude.
MONTH 2: Improved skin, and reduced wrinkles. Stronger nails and better hair. Increased muscle tone, and better metabolism, and even a reduction in belly fat.
MONTH 3: Noticeable increase in feelings of drive, ambition, and dedication. Enhanced sex drive and improved performance/endurance when exercising. Improved mental focus. Better flexibility and/or improved joint health, reduced joint pain.
MONTH 4: Continued fat loss, weight reduction. Improved skin elasticity and increased lean muscle mass, especially if doing strength training.
MONTH 5: Noticeably fuller and healthier hair. Reduced appearance of wrinkles, better skin tone. Continued reduction in belly fat.
MONTH 6: 5-10% reduction in body fat, even without exercise/diet, more if strength training. Nearing a 10% increase in lean muscle mass. Improved vitality due to improved cellular health and faster healing/recovery.
Most peptides are taken via subcutaneous injection or intramuscular injection, but some are available as oral tablets, nasal sprays, or topical creams, depending on their function. Once your peptides are on the way, we’ll send you a variety of resources and instructional guides, but our injection tutorial serves as an excellent overview of peptide administration.
Intramuscular (IM) injections are administered directly into the muscle, allowing for faster absorption since muscles have a rich blood supply. (28G/29G)
Subcutaneous (SubQ) injections are delivered just beneath the skin into the fatty tissue, resulting in a slower, more sustained absorption. (30G/31G)
Of our peptides, NAD+ and B12 are the only ones that require intramuscular injections. All other single peptides and blends can be administered with subcutaneous injection.
Other RegenMD products that require intramuscular injection include Vitamin D, Testosterone, and Glutathione.
Yes, peptides require a medical consultation and prescription to ensure they are safe and effective for your specific needs.
Absolutely! We offer virtual consultations, and many of our treatments can be shipped directly to your door.
No, insurance is not required for peptide therapy. However, most insurance plans do not cover peptides since they are considered wellness and performance optimization treatments rather than essential medical care. We offer flexible payment options and membership pricing to make treatments accessible.
