FAQ
Short answers to the questions people usually ask before they can compare peptide claims clearly.
Are peptides legal?
Some peptide medicines are FDA-approved and available by prescription. Some peptides appear in cosmetics or dietary supplements. Many injectable research peptides sold online are not approved for human use.
Is peptide therapy the same thing as an FDA-approved medication?
No. Peptide therapy is broad marketing language. FDA-approved products have specific labels, indications, manufacturing standards, and prescribing requirements.
Can I buy peptides online?
You can buy some consumer products, such as topical skin-care peptides and collagen peptide supplements. Prescription peptide medicines should come through a licensed clinician and pharmacy.
Why are many peptides injected?
Many peptides are fragile and can be broken down by digestion before reaching the bloodstream. Other products are engineered for oral, nasal, topical, implanted, or infused use.
Does this site provide dosing?
No. Dosing depends on the exact product, indication, medical history, contraindications, interactions, and monitoring plan.
What should I ask a clinician?
Ask whether the product is approved for your goal, what evidence supports it, what side effects and monitoring apply, and how product quality is verified.
