Before you pay
How to check a program yourself
- 1
Prescription, not 'research use only'
Every program here uses a licensed clinician and a licensed US pharmacy. Vials sold 'for research only' skip both, and nothing about their contents is checked. We don't list them.
- 2
Is it allowed to be compounded?
FDA decides which bulk substances pharmacies may compound. NAD+ and glutathione are in its 'under evaluation' group, which in practice allows them; BPC-157 is not on the list despite heavy marketing.
- 3
The low price usually means prepaying
The cheapest monthly rates come with 6- or 12-month plans, and most programs refund nothing once the order is placed. Compare the month-to-month price before you commit.
- 4
Every 4 weeks is 13 charges a year
Some programs bill every 4 weeks instead of monthly, which adds a 13th payment each year. We convert those prices to a true monthly figure.
- 5
Who compounds it?
Few programs name their pharmacy or say whether it is a 503A or 503B facility. We note it where they do, and flag it where they don't.
- 6
The evidence is thinner than the marketing
For sermorelin, NAD+ and most longevity peptides, human studies are small. Treat claims about energy, aging or fat loss as unproven until larger trials say otherwise.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved
Pharmacies may compound only substances FDA allows under section 503A. In 2026 FDA moved several popular peptides off its 'significant safety risks' list because their nominations were withdrawn, which does not make them compoundable, and an advisory committee voted on six of them in July 2026 with no final decision yet.
Red flags to walk away from
- A price far below every other program, from a seller you can't look up
- No real medical evaluation: a two-minute questionnaire instead of a clinician reviewing your history
- No named, licensed pharmacy
- Sales through social media messages or unauthorized celebrity endorsements
- Products labeled “for research use only”
- No clear way to reach a clinician after you start

How do I check a program before I pay?
Search the FDA warning-letter database for its name, confirm a licensed clinician reviews your intake, look for a named licensed pharmacy, read the cancellation terms, and compare its all-in monthly price with what other programs publish.

A price far below every other program from a seller you can't look up, no real medical evaluation, no named pharmacy, sales through social media messages, and products labeled for research use only.
