Online peptide programs, compared
These programs use licensed clinicians and U.S. compounding pharmacies. None of the peptides they prescribe is FDA-approved, so the questions you ask matter more here than with GLP-1s.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved, and the FDA has not found them safe or effective for any use. Federal policy on peptide compounding changed in late October 2026 and may change again. Read what changed first.
| Program | Focus | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Peter MD | Men's health telehealth, including peptide therapy | Which compounds are prescribed in your state, and which pharmacy fills them |
| Strut Health | Men's health telehealth; compounded therapies including sermorelin | The legal basis for compounding each product they offer, and lab requirements |
| Embody | Weight loss and peptide therapy | Whether weight-loss medication is branded or compounded; what's included in the monthly price |
Seven questions before you start
- Is each peptide covered by the October 2026 HHS interim policy, or by another lawful compounding pathway? Ask for the answer in writing.
- Which licensed U.S. pharmacy compounds it, and is that pharmacy licensed in your state?
- Does the clinician review your history and labs before prescribing?
- Is it a single active ingredient? The interim policy, as reported, covers single-ingredient products only.
- What route is it given by (injection, oral, nasal, topical), and is that route one the policy allows for that peptide?
- Who do you contact about side effects, and how fast do they respond?
- What does it cost each month, and how do you cancel?
Walk away if
- The seller ships without a prescription, or labels products "for research use only."
- The program promises specific results: fat loss, muscle gain, healing times or anti-aging.
- It offers drugs that aren't FDA-approved and have no compounding pathway, such as investigational weight-loss drugs still in clinical trials.
