Peptide Therapy
Physician-prescribed. FDA-compliant. Designed for recovery, performance, and cellular repair.
The Building Blocks Your Body Already Knows
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same molecules your body uses naturally to signal repair, growth, and recovery. Therapeutic peptides work by amplifying your body's existing processes, not overriding them.
In February 2026, the FDA reclassified 14 peptides from Category 2 (restricted) to Category 1, making them available through licensed compounding pharmacies when prescribed by a qualified physician. This means access to some of the most studied recovery and performance peptides — legally, safely, and under physician supervision.
At True Roots, peptide therapy is prescribed by Dr. Valle based on your health goals, your bloodwork, and your existing treatment plan. We only use FDA-compliant peptides sourced from licensed compounding pharmacies.
Peptide Protocols We Offer
BPC-157
Body Protection Compound
Best for: Injury recovery, gut health, tissue repair, inflammation reduction
BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide modeled after a naturally occurring protective compound in gastric juice. It promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), accelerates tissue repair, and reduces systemic inflammation.
Common use cases: Joint injuries, tendon/ligament repair, post-surgical recovery, gut healing (leaky gut, IBS), chronic inflammation
Administration: Subcutaneous injection or oral capsule, typically 2–6 month course
Pricing: $200–500/month
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
Growth Hormone Peptide Stack
Best for: Muscle recovery, body composition, sleep quality, anti-aging
This combination stimulates your pituitary gland to produce more growth hormone naturally — without synthetic HGH. CJC-1295 provides sustained release; Ipamorelin provides precise pulses.
Common use cases: Improved body composition, faster recovery from training, deeper sleep, improved skin quality, anti-aging
Administration: Subcutaneous injection, typically at bedtime, 3–6 month course
Pricing: $300–600/month
Sermorelin
Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone
Best for: Growth hormone optimization, anti-aging, sleep improvement
A growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog that stimulates natural GH production. Well-studied with a long clinical history.
Common use cases: Growth hormone deficiency, anti-aging, improved sleep and recovery, body composition optimization
Administration: Subcutaneous injection, typically at bedtime, 3–6 month course
Pricing: $250–500/month
GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide
Best for: Skin rejuvenation, wound healing, hair growth support, collagen synthesis
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring peptide that declines with age. Supplementing it activates collagen production, promotes wound healing, and supports hair follicle health.
Common use cases: Skin quality improvement, facial rejuvenation, post-procedure recovery, hair health as adjunct to Folix
Administration: Topical or subcutaneous injection, ongoing or as needed
Pricing: $200–400/month
Why You Shouldn’t Buy Peptides Online
The internet is full of peptide vendors. Research chemical companies. Gray-market suppliers. Here's why that's a problem:
Quality is unverified
Without a licensed compounding pharmacy, you have no way to confirm purity, dosage, or sterility.
Dosing without labs is guessing
Your peptide protocol should be based on your bloodwork and health history — not a forum post or a YouTube video.
Drug interactions exist
Peptides interact with other medications, hormones, and conditions. A physician reviews the full picture.
Post-February 2026 compliance matters
The FDA reclassification created a legal pathway for physician-prescribed, compounded peptides. Products sold outside this pathway may be illegal and are certainly unregulated.
At True Roots, Dr. Valle prescribes peptides based on your labs, monitors your response, and adjusts your protocol. Your peptides come from licensed compounding pharmacies that meet FDA standards.
