Now available by prescription, since October 28, 2026
Peptides, done the healthy way.
BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, Semax, KPV and MOTS-c, prescribed by a licensed clinician when appropriate for you, prepared by a licensed pharmacy that tests every lot, and delivered to your door. No research vials. No guesswork.
A clinician reviews every intake. Not everyone qualifies. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved.
A clinician decides
Every intake is reviewed by a licensed clinician at Beluga Health, an independent physician group. If a peptide is not right for you, you will be told so.
A licensed pharmacy prepares it
Your prescription is compounded by a state-licensed 503A pharmacy that sources from FDA-registered manufacturers and tests every lot, as the HHS policy requires.
One peptide, labelled, delivered
Single-ingredient products in the form and route the policy names, labelled as a compounded drug, shipped to your door in cold-chain packaging.
Honest about the evidence
None of these peptides is FDA-approved. We tell you what the research actually shows, animal or human, and what it does not.
The six
Six peptides. One honest page on each.
What each one is, what it has been studied for, how strong that evidence is, and the routes a pharmacy may prepare. A clinician decides whether any of them is appropriate for you.
BPC-157
A synthetic fragment of a protective protein found in human gastric juice. The most searched peptide in the group and the one most often bought from unregulated sources.
Subcutaneous · Intramuscular · Oral · Topical
TB-500
A synthetic peptide derived from thymosin beta-4, a protein present in nearly every human cell that regulates actin, the scaffolding of cell movement.
Subcutaneous · Intramuscular
Epitalon
A short synthetic peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modelled on an extract of the pineal gland, developed in Russian research on aging.
Subcutaneous · Intramuscular
Semax
A synthetic analogue of a fragment of ACTH, a pituitary hormone. Developed in Russia, where it has been used as a nasal medicine for decades.
Intranasal
KPV
The three-amino-acid tail (Lys-Pro-Val) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, a natural signalling molecule with anti-inflammatory activity.
Topical · Oral
MOTS-c
A peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA rather than the nucleus, discovered in 2015. One of a small family of mitochondrial-derived peptides.
Subcutaneous · Intramuscular
Start from your goal
Most people arrive with a goal, not a peptide name.
Recovery from training, a stubborn tendon, better sleep, sharper focus, calmer skin or gut. Each goal page says which of the six has been studied for it, how good that research is, and what a clinician will weigh before prescribing.
All goals →Recovery, tendons and joints
Training recovery, a nagging tendon, a slow-healing strain. The most common reason people look for peptides.
BPC-157 · TB-500
Gut comfort and inflammation
Reflux, a sensitive gut, inflammation that flares. BPC-157 began as a gut peptide; KPV is studied in colitis models.
BPC-157 · KPV
Skin calm and repair
Irritated, inflamed or slow-healing skin. KPV topical is the policy's skin route; BPC-157 topical is also permitted.
KPV · BPC-157
Sleep and healthy aging
Short courses of Epitalon are studied for sleep, circadian rhythm and markers of biological aging.
Epitalon
Focus and mental clarity
Semax nasal spray has a human record in Russia for attention and recovery after stroke.
Semax
Metabolic health and energy
MOTS-c, a peptide made by mitochondria, is studied for insulin sensitivity and exercise capacity.
MOTS-c
How it works
Tell us about your health
A ten-minute online intake: history, medications, goals. No appointment to book.
A clinician reviews it
A licensed clinician at Beluga Health reads your intake, may message you with questions, and decides whether a program is appropriate, and which route.
The pharmacy ships
If prescribed, a state-licensed pharmacy compounds your single-ingredient product and ships it to you with instructions.
Check in, adjust, continue
You report how it is going. The clinician adjusts or stops the program. You can cancel any time before the next shipment.
Who you are dealing with
- Clinicians
- Beluga Health, an independent US physician group. A licensed clinician reviews every intake. Not everyone qualifies.
- Pharmacy
- State-licensed 503A pharmacies that source from FDA-registered manufacturers, test every lot and report to FDA, as the HHS policy requires.
- Products
- One peptide per product, in the form and route the policy names. Labelled as a compounded drug. Never a vial marked "research use only".
- Who you are dealing with
- Healthy Peptides sells the program. Local Healthcare (Lifted Health LLC, Dover, Delaware) runs the platform and bills you. Both are named on your receipt.
Why not just buy a vial online?
The same peptide name can mean two very different things.
A 2026 survey of 2,491 peptide-aware US adults found half of those taking research-grade peptides believed they were FDA-approved. None are, including ours. The difference is who prescribed it, who made it, and who tested it. More on safety.
In short
Are peptides like BPC-157 legal to buy in the US?
Since October 28, 2026, six peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, Semax, KPV and MOTS-c) can be compounded by state-licensed pharmacies and physicians for an individual patient on a prescription, under an HHS enforcement discretion policy with ten conditions. They are still not FDA-approved, you still need a prescription, and nobody may lawfully sell you a vial without one. Healthy Peptides provides the lawful version: a clinician who prescribes where appropriate, and a pharmacy that compounds under the policy.
Do I need to see a doctor?
You complete an online health intake and a licensed clinician at Beluga Health reviews it. There is no in-person visit, but there is a real clinician, and they can and do decline. Not everyone qualifies, and that is the point of the process.
Is this the same as the peptides sold as "research chemicals"?
No. Research-use-only vials come with no prescriber, no pharmacy, no tested lot and no legal basis for human use. Programs here are compounded by a licensed pharmacy from FDA-registered bulk material, lot tested, labelled as a drug product and dispensed on your prescription.
Start with a conversation, not a vial.
Ten minutes online. A licensed clinician reviews your intake and tells you plainly whether a program is right for you.
