Peptide Therapy
Learn about peptide medications and whether an available therapy may be appropriate for your individual health needs following clinical evaluation.
What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptides are chains of amino acids that perform many biological functions. Some peptide medications are FDA-approved for specific indications, while other peptides promoted in the wellness marketplace may be investigational, unapproved, compounded or supported by limited human safety and effectiveness data. Regulatory status varies by individual product.

Individualized Peptide Consultation
Dr. Ansell evaluates each patient individually and considers available evidence, regulatory status, potential risks, potential benefits, alternatives and clinical appropriateness before recommending therapy.
The safety, evidence, FDA status and compounding status of individual peptides vary. Discussion of a peptide does not mean that it is FDA-approved or established as safe and effective for a particular condition.
Your Consultation Is Individualized
During a consultation, Dr. Ansell reviews your health history and goals and discusses which peptide medications, if any, may be appropriate for you. Any discussion of a peptide reviews the available evidence, regulatory status, potential benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives for your specific situation. The evidence and regulatory status vary substantially by product and proposed use, and discussing a peptide does not mean it is FDA-approved or established as safe and effective for a particular condition.
