Peptides price: what prescription peptides cost per month

What "peptide price" means here

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids. Some are approved drugs, such as semaglutide. Others are made by a pharmacy for one patient, which is called compounding. A 503A pharmacy is a state-licensed pharmacy that compounds a drug for a named patient on a prescription.

This page prices only the prescription route: a licensed clinician reviews you, and a licensed US pharmacy prepares the drug. We do not list sellers of vials labeled for research use, because that route has no clinician. Our guide on research vs prescription peptides explains the difference. We publish no doses, so a price here is for a plan, and your prescriber decides what is in it.

Peptide prices by peptide

Each row shows how many programs we found that print a price for that peptide, the lowest monthly price among them, and where the peptide stands with the FDA. Prices come from each program's own page through live tokens, so they update when we re-read the page. Program counts are as of 9 Nov 2026.

Where only one or two programs print a price, "lowest" is not a market average. It is simply the only number we could source. For the typical price over time, see our price index, which tracks the cheapest and the median.

Why the same peptide costs different amounts

Four things move the monthly figure more than the peptide itself.

• Plan length. Many programs charge less per month on 6 or 12-month plans. Some bill the whole plan upfront, so the first payment can be much larger than the monthly number.
• What is included. Some prices cover the clinician review, supplies and shipping. Others add a separate consult or membership fee.
• The form. An injection, a dissolving tablet and a nasal spray can be priced differently, even for the same peptide.
• Introductory offers. A discounted first month is common. It is not the price you pay after that.

Our sermorelin cost guide shows how these effects work on one peptide, plan by plan.

Where each peptide stands with the FDA

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA has not checked them for safety or whether they work. The status column above is a short version of the longer record on our peptide legal status tracker.

Six peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax, Epitalon and KPV) are covered by an interim HHS policy dated 28 October 2026. HHS says it "does not intend to take enforcement action against a State-licensed pharmacy, Federal facility, or licensed physician compounding a drug product using a peptide bulk drug substance found in Appendix A" (Federal Register 2026-22192). That is a statement about enforcement, not approval, and the policy is interim and can be withdrawn. For the details, read the HHS peptide policy explained.

For NAD+ plan by plan, see our NAD+ injections guide. For glutathione shots, see our glutathione injections guide. NAD+ and glutathione sit in Category 1 of FDA's list of bulk substances under evaluation (FDA category list, updated 14 May 2026). Tesamorelin is the one peptide in the table with an approved product: the label for Egrifta WR covers reducing excess belly fat in adults with HIV-related lipodystrophy (DailyMed label). The programs priced above sell compounded versions, which are not that product. FDA describes how its Category 1 list works on its 503A bulk substances page. Sermorelin is compounded under a separate route, explained in our sermorelin FDA status guide.

How to pick without overpaying

Start with the peptide, then the program. A low price on a peptide with thin evidence is not a bargain. Read what the evidence in people shows for the peptide you are considering, and ask the clinician about it.

Then compare programs on the whole plan: the billing cycle, the fees and the refund terms. Our best peptide programs ranking scores each program on price, transparency, care, access and reputation, and does not depend on which seller pays us. To see who serves your state, use the state guide.

FAQ

Peptides price: how much do peptides cost per month?

It depends on the peptide. Among licensed programs we read, sermorelin starts at $94 a month, NAD+ at $89, glutathione at $57 and tesamorelin at $195. These are the lowest published plans, often prepaid, so check the billing terms before counting on them.

How much does peptide therapy cost?

Peptide therapy through a telehealth program starts at $57 a month at Idun Rx, the lowest published plan today. The price by peptide, read from each seller's own page and dated, is in the table above and on our price table. Fees, plan length and what is included change the real total.

Is there a peptide price comparison?

Yes. Our price table lists each program's published plans by peptide, with billing terms and the date we read each page. The price index shows the cheapest and median price over time. We compare licensed prescription programs only.

Why do peptide prices vary so much?

Plan length, included services, the form of the drug and introductory offers all change the number. A prepaid 12-month plan can look cheaper per month than a month-to-month plan, but the first payment is larger. Peptides also differ in how hard they are to compound.

Does insurance cover peptides?

Usually not for compounded peptides. Most programs we track are cash-pay. Some accept HSA or FSA cards, which is a different thing from insurance. See our guide on peptides, insurance and HSA or FSA for what each program says.

Are cheaper peptides lower quality?

Price alone does not tell you. Quality depends on the pharmacy that compounds the drug. Look for a program that names its pharmacy and says whether it is a 503A pharmacy. Our safety guide to compounded peptides lists what to check.
