FAQ
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Different peptides are being studied for a wide range of biological functions, including metabolic signaling, recovery, healthy aging, immune function and other areas. The level of evidence varies significantly by peptide, and research findings should not be interpreted as guaranteed results.
Who are peptides for?
Peptide research attracts interest from adults exploring areas such as healthy aging, recovery, body composition, performance, metabolic health and general wellness. The appropriate approach depends on the individual, their goals, medical history, medications and the specific compound being considered. A licensed healthcare professional should be involved when medical evaluation, diagnosis or prescription treatment is needed.
How are peptides administered?
Administration depends on the specific peptide or product. Some peptide-based products are injectable, while others may be available in oral, nasal, topical or other forms. The route, dose and instructions should always be specific to the product and, when applicable, provided by a qualified healthcare professional.
Do I need a prescription from a doctor?
Some peptide-based medications require a prescription, while many compounds discussed in peptide research are not FDA-approved for routine therapeutic use. Whether a prescription is required depends on the specific product, intended use and applicable law. Aurea clearly distinguishes education and research information from prescription medical care.
Do you accept insurance?
Aurea’s consultation and educational services are self-pay and are not billed directly to health insurance. If you are receiving medical care through a separate licensed provider, coverage for those services or medications depends on that provider and your individual plan.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds?
HSA/FSA eligibility depends on the specific service or product and your plan’s rules. Please check with your plan administrator before using HSA or FSA funds.
Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?
Consultations are not automatically a subscription. Any ongoing services, follow-up support or separate purchases should be clearly explained before you choose them.
Can I purchase peptides directly from the website?
The website is designed primarily for peptide education and consultation rather than a traditional add-to-cart shopping experience. Start by exploring the educational library or scheduling a consultation.
How do I know which peptide may be relevant to my goals?
You do not need to know peptide names before getting started. Use the Explore by Goal section to learn about research areas related to your interests. If you want more personalized guidance, schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and questions.
Do I need bloodwork before a consultation?
Not necessarily for an initial educational conversation. Depending on your goals and whether you pursue medical care, a licensed healthcare professional may recommend laboratory testing or other evaluation before making treatment decisions.
What happens during a consultation?
A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your goals, current interests and questions, review relevant peptide and longevity education, and identify topics you may want to discuss further with an appropriate licensed healthcare professional.
How long are peptides typically used?
There is no single standard timeline for all peptides. Research protocols and medically prescribed peptide therapies vary by compound, purpose, dose, individual response and safety considerations. Duration should never be assumed from another person’s protocol.
Can multiple peptides be used together?
Some peptides are discussed or studied in combination, often referred to as a ‘stack.’ Combining compounds can also increase complexity, side effects and interaction concerns. A stack should not be assumed to be appropriate simply because the individual components are used separately.
Are peptides FDA-approved?
Some peptide-based medications are FDA-approved for specific medical indications, but many peptides commonly discussed in wellness, longevity and research settings are not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. Each peptide should be evaluated individually rather than treating ‘peptides’ as one regulatory category.
Not Sure Where to Start?
You don’t need to know which peptide you’re looking for. Start with your goals and questions, and we’ll help you navigate the information.
