1. Is there a real provider review?
A responsible peptide provider should collect health history, medications, contraindications, goals, and relevant labs when appropriate. Be cautious if the experience feels like a checkout page first and a medical visit second.
If the answer to "who reviews my labs" is "our intake form," the provider is selling shipping, not medicine.
2. Where does the medication come from?
Ask whether medication is dispensed by a licensed pharmacy and whether the provider can explain compounding status. FDA notes that compounded drugs are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing, which makes pharmacy selection and documentation important.
3. Are claims medically modest?
Guaranteed fat loss, guaranteed injury healing, or "anti-aging reversal" language is a red flag. Better providers describe potential benefits, evidence limits, side effects, and reasons someone may not be eligible.
4. What is included in the price?
Compare consultation, medication, supplies, shipping, refill review, messaging, labs, and cancellation terms. A cheap vial is not necessarily a cheap care plan if follow-up and support are missing.
5. What happens after delivery?
The key difference between a product seller and a care provider is what happens when you have a side effect, no response, a storage question, or a change in health status. Follow-up is part of the product.
Questions to ask any provider
- Who reviews my case and where are they licensed?
- Which pharmacy prepares the medication?
- What are the contraindications for this protocol?
- What should I track and when do we follow up?
- What are the total monthly costs?
