How does peptide therapy work?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules, prompting specific responses in the body such as repair or hormone release. At GLO, your provider reviews your goals, health history and labs, then prescribes a personalized protocol, typically given by subcutaneous injection at home or in the office. Peptides come from licensed compounding pharmacies; most aren't FDA-approved for these uses, except PT-141 (Vyleesi) for one specific indication.

Are all peptides FDA-approved?
No, and we believe in being upfront about this. PT-141 (bremelanotide) is FDA-approved as Vyleesi for one specific indication. Most other peptides used in wellness medicine are not FDA-approved for the uses they're prescribed for — they're prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies for a provider's prescription, and the regulatory landscape is still evolving. We'll always tell you where a given peptide stands.
Is peptide therapy safe?
When sourced from a licensed compounding pharmacy and prescribed by a licensed provider with appropriate monitoring, peptide therapy carries a different risk profile than unregulated “research chemical” products sold online — which we never use or recommend.
How is my peptide therapy protocol decided?
We start with your goals and relevant labs, and build a protocol with medical oversight — never a one-size-fits-all plan.
How long does it take for peptide therapy to work?
It varies by peptide, but most people notice changes over a period of weeks. Your provider will tell you what to expect for your specific protocol and check in on your progress.
What are the side effects of peptide therapy?
The most common side effects are mild redness, swelling or itching at the injection site. Some peptides can cause flushing, nausea or headache. Your provider will review the risks of your specific protocol and monitor you over time.
Peptide therapy vs hormone replacement therapy: what's the difference?
Hormone replacement therapy replaces hormones that labs show are low. Peptide therapy uses signaling molecules to support the body's own processes, such as repair or natural growth-hormone release. Some people use both under medical guidance.
