When clinically appropriate, prescriptions are sent to licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies or FDA-registered outsourcing facilities, depending on the medication and regulatory pathway.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body—helping regulate processes like metabolism, tissue repair, inflammation, and hormone production.
At Innovative Care, peptide therapy begins with a medical consultation. These therapies are not one-size-fits-all and should be used thoughtfully, based on your individual goals, symptoms, and health history.
Our role is to help you understand what may be appropriate for your body—and how to use peptides safely and effectively.
Many patients are looking for ways to go beyond reactive care and take a more proactive approach to how they feel and function. Peptides are being studied for their potential role in a variety of biological processes, including:
Research into peptide therapies is ongoing, and evidence varies significantly depending on the specific peptide and intended use. Some applications remain investigational and have not been proven for all indications.
Not every peptide—and not every goal—is appropriate for every patient. That’s why medical evaluation and individualized guidance are important when considering peptide therapy.
NAD+ is a naturally occurring coenzyme involved in cellular energy production and other important biological processes. Researchers continue to study its potential role in healthy aging, metabolic function, and cognitive health.
Tesamorelin is a peptide that works by stimulating the release of growth hormone. It has been studied for its effects on body composition and metabolic function, particularly in relation to visceral (abdominal) fat.
This combination includes two peptides that have been studied in preclinical research for their potential effects on tissue-related biological processes. Research has explored their possible roles in cellular signaling, tissue remodeling, and other physiological pathways, though human clinical evidence remains limited and many proposed uses have not been established in large clinical trials.
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide that has been investigated in preclinical studies for its potential effects on tissue-related processes and gastrointestinal biology.
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide derived from thymosin beta-4 that has been studied for its potential role in cell migration and tissue-related biological processes.
CJC-1295 is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog, and Ipamorelin is a peptide that interacts with pathways involved in growth hormone release. Researchers have studied these compounds for their potential effects on endogenous growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) production, as well as their broader role in growth hormone-related physiological processes.
Epithalon is a peptide being studied for its potential role in healthy aging and age-related cellular processes. Researchers have investigated its possible effects on sleep and other aspects of wellness, though evidence remains limited and many proposed benefits have not been proven in large clinical trials.
This combination includes three peptides that have been studied for their potential effects on tissue-related, skin-related, and other cellular processes. Research has explored their possible roles in musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and skin biology, though evidence varies by peptide and application.
Sermorelin is a synthetic analog of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). It has been studied for its effects on pathways involved in the body’s natural production and release of growth hormone. Researchers have investigated its potential influence on growth hormone signaling and related physiological processes, though individual responses may vary and evidence for specific clinical outcomes differs by application.
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide being studied for its potential role in metabolism and cellular energy regulation. Early research has explored its effects on metabolic and exercise-related pathways, but clinical evidence remains limited and additional research is needed to better understand its potential applications.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has been studied for its potential role in skin biology and other cellular processes. Researchers have investigated its effects on pathways involved in skin appearance, collagen production, and hair follicles, though evidence varies depending on the specific application.
This combination includes four peptides that have been studied for their potential effects on a variety of biological processes. Research into these compounds is ongoing, and evidence varies by peptide and intended application.
BPC-157 – Investigated in preclinical research for its potential effects on tissue-related and gastrointestinal biological processes.
TB-500 – Studied for its potential role in cell migration and other tissue-related biological pathways.
GHK-Cu – Researched for its potential effects on skin biology, collagen-related pathways, and other cellular processes.
KPV – A tripeptide fragment that has been studied for its potential role in immune and gastrointestinal biological processes.
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids to signal specific functions in the body—such as supporting recovery, metabolism, inflammation, and overall performance. These therapies are highly individualized and should be guided by a medical provider.
At Innovative Care, peptide recommendations are always personalized based on your goals, symptoms, and health history.
Depending on your needs, your provider may discuss peptides such as:
Not every peptide is appropriate for every patient. Your provider will help determine what—if anything—is the right fit for you and guide you on safe, effective use.
Yes. At Innovative Care, peptide therapy always begins with a consultation. This allows a licensed provider to review your goals, symptoms, and health history to determine if peptides are appropriate and safe for you. Please note, you must be a resident of Illinois.
Yes, our medical providers are licensed in Illinois only, so you must be a resident of Illinois to receive a peptide consultation or care from Innovative Care.
The initial peptide consultation is $100 and self-pay. Follow-up visits are also self-pay and will be scheduled as needed. Patients will also be responsible for paying the prescription cost, which varies. We only work with certified compounding pharmacies and will work to get you a fair price at a trusted compounding pharmacy.
Peptides will be prescribed at your appointment as long as they are appropriate for your specific goals and health profile (i.e. wouldn’t pose any risks to your health).
If a peptide is recommended, your provider will guide you in obtaining it through a reputable compounding pharmacy. We do not sell peptides directly, ensuring quality and proper sourcing.
Innovative Care does offer GLP medication for weight management. We typically prescribe this through our primary care weight loss program, or Innovative Vitality, our longevity medicine practice. You can discuss this with your provider at the time of your consult.

Some patients tolerate peptide therapy well under medical supervision, but many peptides have limited human safety and efficacy data. We review risks, unknowns, alternatives, and contraindications before considering treatment.
Some Peptide therapies discussed on this website have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for anti-aging, wellness, or performance-related indications. In select clinical situations, a licensed medical provider may determine that peptide therapy is appropriate based on an individual patient’s health history, goals, and medical evaluation. All treatment decisions are made on a case-by-case basis under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
No. Peptide consultations and therapies are self-pay. However, this allows for more personalized care and flexibility in treatment options.
Innovative Care offers focused, self-pay consultations for peptide therapy.
Innovative Vitality provides a more comprehensive, membership-based approach that includes advanced lab testing, ongoing physician coaching, and full health optimization, which may include incorporating peptides as part of your treatment plan. If you want to take a deep dive into your health, with long-term support and health coaching, Vitality may be a better fit.
Patients who are proactive about their health and looking to improve recovery, metabolism, or overall performance may be good candidates. The consultation helps determine if this is the right approach for you.
