What Peptides Are
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. The body uses its own peptides as signals that tell tissues what to do. In peptide therapy, a specific peptide is prescribed for a specific goal.
How Peptide Therapy Works at Injection Lab
Peptide therapy is consultation-based. There is no single peptide for everyone: the peptide, the dose and the length of the plan are decided for each patient, based on goals and medical history. How the peptide is taken depends on what is prescribed.
Recovery Protocols
For patients whose main goal is recovery after training or after an injury, the plan is built as a recovery protocol. It is also consultation-based.
Who Peptide Therapy Is For
Peptide therapy is for adults with a clear goal, such as recovery after exercise, healing or performance, who want a prescribed plan with medical follow-up instead of products bought without a prescription.
Who Peptide Therapy Is Not For
Peptide therapy may not be appropriate for patients who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Have cancer or a history of cancer, unless their oncologist has approved it.
- Are under 18.
- Have a known allergy to an ingredient of the prescribed product.
Medical history and current medications are reviewed in the consultation, and some peptides are not appropriate for some patients.
What to Expect
- A consultation reviews goals, medical history and current medications.
- If peptide therapy is appropriate, the peptide, the dose and the length of the plan are explained.
- The patient receives instructions for taking the peptide.
- Follow-up visits review the response and adjust the plan.
Peptides, NAD+ or IV Therapy?
