Healthy Peptides

FAQ

Questions people ask before they start.

Answered plainly, including the ones that end with "no".

Legality and approval

Are peptides legal now?

Six are lawfully compoundable since October 28, 2026: BPC-157, TB-500, Epitalon, Semax, KPV and MOTS-c, under an HHS enforcement discretion policy with ten conditions. You still need a patient-specific prescription from a licensed clinician, and the product must be made by a state-licensed pharmacy or physician that meets every condition. Buying a vial online without a prescription remains outside the law, whatever the label says.

Is this FDA approval?

No. The policy says HHS does not intend to take enforcement action against licensed pharmacies and physicians that compound the six under its conditions. The peptides are not approved drugs, no trial has established that they are safe or effective for any use, and HHS can withdraw the policy. We say this on every page because it is true.

Why are only six peptides available?

Because those are the six an FDA advisory committee recommended in July 2026 and HHS named in its October policy. CJC-1295, ipamorelin, GHK-Cu injectable, tesamorelin and others are not covered. Our peptide guide lists where each stands, and we do not sell around the list.

Can I get BPC-157 and TB-500 together?

Not in one product. The policy allows a single active ingredient per compounded product. A clinician may prescribe each separately where appropriate; the decision is theirs, not a menu choice.

The clinician and the process

Do I actually see a doctor?

You complete an online health intake that a licensed clinician at Beluga Health, an independent physician group, reviews. They may message you with questions. In some states a short video visit is required. There is no in-person appointment, but there is a real clinician with a licence to lose, and they decline people.

Who might be declined?

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, with an active or past cancer, with symptoms that have not been investigated, with medications that interact, or where the clinician simply does not think a peptide is the right next step. You are not charged for a declined consultation.

Can I choose which peptide I get?

You can say what you are interested in and why, and the goal pages will help you be specific. Which peptide, if any, and by which route, is the clinician's decision after reading your history.

How long does it take?

The intake takes about ten minutes. Clinician review usually completes within a few business days. If prescribed, the pharmacy compounds and ships, typically within a week. You will be told at each step.

The product and delivery

Where does the peptide come from?

From a state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy that prepares it for you from bulk peptide made by an FDA-registered manufacturer, with a certificate of analysis naming the manufacturer's location. Every lot is tested for identity, purity, endotoxin and microbial limits before it is dispensed.

What form does it come in?

Only the forms and routes the policy permits: BPC-157 as injection, capsule or topical; TB-500, Epitalon and MOTS-c as injection; Semax as a nasal spray; KPV as topical or capsule. Injectables arrive with the supplies you need and written directions. Nothing arrives labelled "research use only".

How is it shipped?

Temperature-controlled, in discreet packaging, to your address, with tracking. The pharmacy's name and phone number are on the label.

What if I have a reaction?

Stop and message the clinician. For anything severe, call 911 or go to an emergency department first and show them the label. Adverse events are reported to FDA MedWatch, which is one of the policy's conditions and one of the reasons the regulated route matters.

Money

What does it cost?

One price per program per month, shown in full before you pay, covering the clinician review, the compounded product, pharmacy dispensing and delivery. No hidden consultation fee, no charge if you are declined, and no insurance involvement: compounded peptides are not covered by insurance.

Who am I paying?

Your card is charged by Local Healthcare, which collects payment as billing agent for Healthy Peptides (your program), the pharmacy (your medication) and Beluga Health (your care). Your statement shows LOCAL HEALTHCARE. Your receipt names all three.

Can I cancel?

Yes, before any shipment is dispensed, through the platform. The refund policy linked in the footer sets out exactly what is refundable and when.

Do you take HSA or FSA cards?

Compounded prescription medication is generally an eligible expense, but eligibility is decided by your plan administrator, not by us. Keep your receipt.

Who is behind this

Who is Healthy Peptides?

A consumer brand of Lifted Health LLC, Dover, Delaware. Healthy Peptides sells you the program. The platform behind it, and the party that bills you, is Local Healthcare, also part of Lifted Health LLC. Clinical care is provided by Beluga Health, an independent physician group; medication by a state-licensed pharmacy. No one is hidden.

Is this a weight-loss service?

No. None of the six is a weight-loss drug and we do not offer GLP-1 medicines. If weight is the goal, see your own doctor about approved options.

I compete in tested sport. Can I use these?

No. All six are prohibited at all times under the World Anti-Doping Code, and a prescription is not a defence. Age-group athletes have received four-year bans. Please do not start.

Medical care is provided by Beluga Health, P.A., an independent network of licensed providers. Prescription medication is provided only following consultation with a licensed clinician and only where clinically appropriate. Compounded medications are not themselves FDA-approved as drug products. Individual results vary.
