What Are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that naturally occur in the body and act as biological messengers.
How Do Peptides Work?
Different peptides interact with specific receptors and signaling pathways, helping regulate processes such as metabolism, recovery, inflammation, skin health, energy, and body composition. Each peptide has a different function, which is why they can be selected based on individual wellness goals.

FAQ
How are peptides administered?
Many peptide protocols are administered by a subcutaneous (SubQ) injection, typically using a small 8 mm insulin syringe needle. The injection is placed into the fatty tissue just beneath the skin, commonly around the abdomen.
Are peptides the same as steroids?
No. Peptides are amino acid chains that signal existing biological processes; anabolic steroids are hormone derivatives with a different structure and mechanism.
Do I need bloodwork first?
Recent bloodwork is optional but recommended. It gives context for a more meaningful conversation about your goals.
Is there a consultation fee?
No. Every wellness consultation with Aurea is complimentary. There is no separate consultation fee.
