How It Works

Two pathways. One standard of review.

Whether you're requesting a research peptide or a compounded medication, the review is built around the same principle: we look at your labs and your history before anything ships.

Path A

Research Peptides

BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, PT-141, and similar protocols.

  1. Request the protocol on the intake form.
  2. Submit the required lab panel (CBC, CMP, and/or IGF-1 depending on the peptide).
  3. A licensed provider reviews your labs and approves, holds, or declines the request.
  4. Once approved, your provider builds it into your protocol and sets a retest date to keep monitoring your labs going forward.
Path B

Compounded Medications

Personalized GLP-1 formulations and other compounded prescriptions.

  1. Submit a request and complete a short telehealth intake.
  2. Submit labs — typically a CMP and lipid panel, sometimes A1c.
  3. A live telehealth visit with a provider to confirm clinical appropriateness, including whether an FDA-approved option fits better.
  4. If compounding is appropriate, your prescription is sent to a licensed 503A pharmacy and monitoring begins.

Step By Step

What actually happens after you submit a request

STEP 01 — Submit a Request
In Progress

One form covers labs, GLP-1s, peptides by group, and HRT. Check what you're interested in, attach existing labs if you have them, and send it — no account required.

STEP 02 — Lab Collection
Pending Results

Every protocol requires at least our Base Panel, plus any additional labs your specific peptide calls for. Order through Quest Diagnostics at cost, have us order under your insurance if you're covered, or attach results from the last 12 months (or a Quest/LabCorp authorization) right on the request form:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel CBC w/ Differential Lipid Panel Hemoglobin A1c Hormone Panel (if needed)

Already have recent labs (within the last year)? Attach the PDF or authorize us to pull results directly from Quest/LabCorp. Have insurance? Note it on the form — we can often order your labs under your coverage instead of at-cost.

STEP 03 — Medical Review, Call or Telehealth
Reviewed

A licensed provider reviews your labs, health history, and requested protocol, and reaches out by phone or a short telehealth visit if one's needed before approval. You'll either be approved, asked for more information, or told directly why the protocol isn't a fit right now.

STEP 04 — Approved & Texted to Pay
Approved

Once approved, we text you a secure link to pay — no charge before that point. We set a retest date — typically 90 days, sooner if your labs or protocol call for it — and follow up when it's time.

Why Retesting Matters

Approval isn't a one-time gate. It's a relationship.

Labs drift. Doses that made sense three months ago might not make sense today. Rather than leaving that to chance, we build a retest date into every protocol so your provider can adjust, pause, or continue based on where your body actually is — not where it was at intake.

Typical retest cadence: 90 days.

Some protocols (like GH-secretagogues tracked via IGF-1) may be checked sooner.

Out-of-range labs start a conversation, not a dead end.

If something's off, your provider talks through what it means and what the options look like from there.

You'll always know why.

If a protocol needs to wait or shift direction, you get a real explanation and, where possible, a path forward.

Start with your labs — everything else follows from there.
