Skip to content Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in the body. In a medical setting, certain peptide therapies may be considered by a licensed provider as part of an individualized, lab-based plan. This page is educational. It is not a promise of results, and not an offer to sell any specific compound.
Peptide therapy refers to the medically supervised use of specific peptides where a licensed provider determines it is appropriate and legally available. Eligibility is individual: some peptides discussed in wellness and fitness settings are not FDA-approved and are not currently available through legitimate pharmacy compounding. Our providers prescribe only within current law, and when a therapy is compounded, we source it only from licensed compounding pharmacies that perform batch testing.
Every plan starts with bloodwork and a clinical review.
Not every patient is a candidate for every peptide.
We tell you honestly which therapies are and aren’t legally available right now.
Compounded therapies come only from licensed pharmacies with batch testing.
Follow-up is part of any therapy we provide.
We do not sell peptides as consumer or “research-only” products.
A growth-hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analogue with an established compounding
pathway; prescribed off-label when appropriate.
An FDA-approved GHRH analogue; approved indication and any off-label use discussed at
evaluation.
An FDA-approved medication; approved indication and eligibility reviewed by your provider.
Many peptides discussed online including BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Epitalon, GHK-Cu, and Semax are the subject of significant patient interest. Here’s an
honest status update:
These compounds are not FDA-approved, do not have recognized pharmacopeial (USP) monographs, and are currently in a regulatory gray zone for pharmacy compounding, which the FDA is actively reviewing. Products sold online as “research chemicals” are explicitly not intended for human use and are not manufactured to pharmaceutical standards. Because the regulatory landscape is evolving, we do not advertise or promise results for these compounds. If you have questions about a specific peptide, the right step is a conversation with a licensed provider who can give you accurate, current information for your situation.
Individualized care statement: “Treatment recommendations are individualized based on your medical history, goals, laboratory findings, and provider evaluation.
Not every patient is a candidate for every therapy.”
Bloodwork first, followed by a consultation to discuss your goals.
Your provider discusses which therapies, if any, are appropriate and legally available.
If appropriate, therapy is explained — including off-label status where relevant — with informed consent.
Monitoring throughout.
Are an adult interested in medically supervised, lab-based care.
Want accurate information rather than online marketing claims.
Prefer licensed oversight and pharmacy-sourced, tested products.
Have realistic expectations and are in general health.
At Remedy Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Maple Grove, MN, we believe informed patients make the best decisions about their care. Patients choose us because:
Our providers give you accurate, up-to-date information about which peptides are legally available and appropriate for your situation, rather than relying on online marketing claims.
Every peptide therapy conversation starts with bloodwork and a clinical review, so any recommendation is grounded in your actual health picture.

Follow-up is built into every plan, so your provider can track your response and adjust your care as needed.
These are not FDA-approved and are in a regulatory gray zone for compounding. We don’t advertise or sell them. A provider can give you accurate, current information at a consultation.
Some are (for example, tesamorelin and bremelanotide). Many popular research peptides are not. Your provider will explain the status of anything relevant to
you.
Regulatory enforcement in this space is active and evolving. We choose to stay within current FDA policy and be transparent with patients.
It means a provider prescribes an approved medication for a use other than its FDA-approved indication, when they judge it appropriate. It’s legal and common, and your provider will explain it.
