Gary Simmons Presentation on ALMD and Peptides

Introduction to ALMD

• ALMD is a telemedicine company specializing in peptides.
• 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).

Cost and Affordability
