- Provides greater access to medications through telehealth services.
Peptides Overview
- Peptides: Not drugs, but amino acid structures forming protein chains.
- Produced naturally in the body; also developed for specific functions.
- Classified as pharmaceuticals primarily due to being injectable.
Alternative Administration Methods
- Non-injectable options: Nasal sprays, drops (e.g., GP1 semaglutide).
- Small needles used for injections, similar to diabetic needles.
GLP-1 Peptides for Weight Loss
- Semaglutide: Helps pancreas release insulin when blood sugars are high; marketed under different brand names but available at ALMD for $299 (compared to $800-$1,000).
- Tirzepatide: Includes GIP peptide; offers a higher body fat reduction (26%); available at ALMD for $449 (market price: $1,000-$1,300).
