What to know

1

One word, many substances

“Peptide” simply describes a short chain of amino acids. The term covers prescription medicines and also substances that have never been approved for use in people.

2

Evidence varies widely

Some peptides have been studied in large clinical trials. Many have little or no reliable human research. Online claims often run well ahead of the evidence.

3

Regulatory status matters

Products sold as “research use only” are not approved for human use, and their quality and contents may not be verified.

4

Provider review comes first

Peptide options listed by DoorMD are ordered through the DoorMD ordering portal, where a licensed provider reviews your health questions before anything is prescribed. The provider decides whether any option is appropriate for you.

DoorMD does not sell “research use only” peptides, give self-use instructions, or make claims about anti-aging, healing or muscle growth. Please don't use any product without guidance from a licensed provider.
