Currently waitlist-only. - Promise is LegitScript-certified Two ways up ## Same peptide name. *Very* different route. A research-only product is sold for lab work. A prescription is written for you after someone looks at your health. The unmarked route ### Research-only seller - Sold for labs, labeled “not for human use” - A laboratory sale is not an individualized medical evaluation - Who makes it varies by seller - Not supplied as patient-specific medical care - No prescription decision is part of a laboratory sale The marked route ### Doctor-guided, through Promise - Currently accepting waitlist sign-ups, not treatment requests - A licensed provider makes any prescribing decision - Pharmacy review is a separate step - Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved - Not everyone qualifies [Join the Promise waitlist](https://mypromise.com/products?utm_source=peak&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=home&utm_content=routes) [Read the full comparison](https://peakpeptides.com/why-a-doctor/) How it works ## The planned process if treatment visits open. Promise is currently accepting waitlist signups. If treatment visits open, any treatment request would require clinical review; prescribing and pharmacy fulfillment would remain separate decisions. 1. **Choose a treatment and answer its health questions**: Each treatment has its own health questions. 2. **A licensed provider reviews the request**: They decide whether a prescription is right for you. 3. **Pharmacy review is a separate step**: A prescription does not guarantee preparation or dispensing. A pharmacy must separately determine whether it can fulfill the prescription under the applicable requirements.

Questions ## The ones everyone asks. [All questions](https://peakpeptides.com/questions/) ### Can a doctor really prescribe peptides? Some peptide medicines are available by prescription. A licensed provider makes any prescribing decision, and compounding has separate requirements; a prescription alone does not authorize every preparation. ### Is that the same as buying research peptides? No. Research peptides are sold for lab use and labeled not for human use. A prescription is written for you after a provider reviews your health. ### What if I don’t qualify? Then you won’t be prescribed that treatment. A provider saying no is part of what makes this route different. --- Peak maps the terrain; it does not examine anyone, so nothing here is medical advice, and the decision about any treatment belongs to a licensed provider who has reviewed your health.
