I keep getting the same question: "What peptides can I actually get through a telehealth clinic?"

Fair question. The answer used to be simple. Now it's complicated. So let me break down exactly what's available through the legitimate telehealth route versus what you'll need to source elsewhere.

This is the list I wish someone had given me six months ago.

PEPTIDES YOU CAN LEGALLY GET THROUGH TELEHEALTH

These peptides are legally available through telehealth clinics and 503A compounding pharmacies right now. A licensed provider can prescribe them, a compounding pharmacy can make them, and they'll ship to your door — all fully above board.

GLP-1s (Weight Loss):

Growth Hormone Support:

Testosterone & Fertility Support:

Sexual Health:

Cellular Energy & Longevity:

Other Compoundable Peptides:

FDA-Approved (Specific Indications):

That's the legal telehealth list. If a peptide isn't on here, you're not getting it through a legitimate, FDA-compliant clinic.

PEPTIDES YOU CANNOT LEGALLY GET THROUGH TELEHEALTH

Here's where it gets important. I need to be 100% clear with you.

These peptides are on the FDA's Category 2 list. As of September 2023, compounding pharmacies are prohibited from producing them. The FDA has stated they "may take enforcement action" against any pharmacy that does.

This isn't a gray area in the law — it's explicitly prohibited.

Healing & Recovery:

GH Secretagogues:

Metabolic & Weight Loss:

Cognitive & Nootropic:

Longevity & Anti-Aging:

Tanning & Cosmetic:

Hormone Support:

Bioregulators (Khavinson Peptides):

"BUT I KNOW A CLINIC THAT STILL OFFERS BPC-157..."

Yeah. Some do. Let me explain what's actually happening.

Some clinics and compounding pharmacies are still producing and prescribing Category 2 peptides. They're taking a calculated legal risk, betting that FDA enforcement will remain selective. And so far, the FDA has mostly targeted the biggest offenders — like Tailor Made Compounding, which was prosecuted by the DOJ and forced to forfeit $1.79 million for distributing BPC-157, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and other banned peptides.

But here's the reality:

Bottom line: If a telehealth clinic is offering you injectable BPC-157, CJC-1295, or Ipamorelin through a "legitimate compounding pharmacy" — ask questions. Ask which pharmacy. Ask how they're legally doing it. Because according to the FDA, the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding, and the DOJ's enforcement actions, they shouldn't be.

WHY THE SPLIT HAPPENED

Quick context if you're wondering how we got here.

In September 2023, the FDA updated their "Category 2" list — a blacklist of substances that compounding pharmacies cannot legally use. Their reasoning: "risk for immunogenicity, peptide-related impurities, and limited safety-related information."

Translation: not enough human clinical trials and theoretical risk of immune reactions.

Before that, compounding pharmacies could make almost anything. I walked into a men's clinic in 2019 and got prescribed Ipamorelin without any issues. That same prescription is now illegal to fill at any compliant pharmacy.

The FDA didn't find evidence these peptides were harmful. They just decided that "not enough data" equals "banned until further notice." Meanwhile, the GLP-1s that make Big Pharma billions sailed through approval.

There's a chance this changes. RFK Jr. is now HHS Secretary and has publicly said he wants to "end the FDA's war on peptides." He's already removed experts from the FDA's compounding advisory panel. But as of today — December 2025 — nothing has officially shifted. Category 2 peptides remain prohibited from compounding.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Legally available through telehealth:

NOT legally available through telehealth (Category 2 / Not Approved):

For the second list, research peptide companies are currently your only option. They operate under the "for research purposes only" framework. The quality is there if you source correctly — look for third-party COAs and established reputations. Crypto payments are becoming standard as these companies move away from traditional payment processors.

This is the landscape. Plan accordingly.

Stay optimized,
