FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know About Peptide Therapy
Are peptides legal?
Yes, when prescribed by a licensed physician and obtained from registered pharmacies. We only use legal, pharmaceutical-grade peptides. Avoid “research only” peptides from the internet.
How are peptides different from steroids?
Peptides are naturally occurring amino acid chains that signal specific cellular functions. Unlike anabolic steroids, they don’t suppress natural hormone production or cause the serious side effects associated with steroid use.
How quickly will I see results?
This varies by peptide and condition. Weight loss peptides show results in 2-4 weeks. Healing peptides like BPC-157 often work within days. Cognitive peptides typically take 2-3 weeks. Anti-aging benefits develop over months.
Are there side effects?
Peptides generally have minimal side effects—far fewer than traditional medications. Most common are mild injection site reactions. We monitor closely and adjust protocols as needed.
Can I combine multiple peptides?
Yes! Many peptides work synergistically. Dr. Ibrahim’s expertise includes creating combination protocols for enhanced results. We carefully design stacks for safety and efficacy.
How long do I need to use peptides?
Depends on your goals. Healing peptides might be 6-8 weeks. Weight loss varies by target. Anti-aging and cognitive peptides often become part of long-term optimization strategies.
Why not buy peptides online for less?
Internet peptides are often contaminated, mislabeled, or fake. One contaminated injection could cause sepsis or worse. Our pharmaceutical-grade peptides with medical supervision ensure safety and results.
Do you treat athletes?
Yes, we work with athletes for legal performance enhancement and recovery. We ensure all protocols comply with sporting regulations and drug testing requirements.
Can peptides help with autoimmune conditions?
Several peptides show promise for autoimmune conditions through immune modulation and inflammation reduction. Dr. Ibrahim’s own MS gives him unique insight into these applications.
Are peptides covered by insurance?
Generally no, though some diagnostic testing may be covered. We provide documentation for FSA/HSA reimbursement and offer payment plans.
