Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same building blocks as protein, only much shorter. Your body makes thousands of them and uses them as signals: telling cells to release a hormone, blunt appetite, or repair tissue. A peptide medication is a manufactured version of one of those signals.

Yes. Semaglutide is a chain of 31 amino acids and tirzepatide is 39, both designed to mimic the gut hormones your body releases after you eat. They are the most studied peptide medications ever brought to market, which is a large part of why this class is no longer niche.

Most peptides sold online are sold as research chemicals, labeled “research use only — not for human consumption.” There is no prescription, no physician, no pharmacy, and no obligation to prove what is actually in the vial. Everything on Peptavi is prescribed only after a physician evaluation and compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy held to the Peptavi Standard.

Some peptide medications exist as FDA-approved brand products. What our partner pharmacies compound is not FDA-approved — compounded preparations are made for an individual patient by pharmacies registered under Section 503A or 503B and regulated under federal and state pharmacy law. Your provider will tell you exactly what you are being prescribed.

Choose the therapy you need, click “Start your visit,” and answer a brief set of medical questions. Our team of U.S.-based doctors reviews your information and prescribes medication if it’s appropriate. You’ll typically hear back within about 24 hours.

There’s no membership or subscription fee — the visit, physician review, ongoing care, and shipping are free. You pay only for your medication, often for less than your local pharmacy, and you’ll always see the price before you’re charged.

Yes. Every doctor you interact with is licensed to prescribe medicine and treat patients in the state you live in.

We don’t accept insurance. We believe your access to quality care shouldn’t depend on a third party’s opinion — so we skip membership fees and keep medication pricing low and transparent instead.

We treat patients 18 years of age and older. If you’re younger than 18, please seek treatment from a local primary care physician.

State regulations require that our medical providers can see who they’re treating, so we may ask for a photo of you alongside your photo ID.

Some treatments are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies rather than mass-manufactured. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, meaning the FDA does not review them for safety or effectiveness before they’re sold. Your provider will tell you when a treatment is compounded and why.
