Peptide

Peptide

A short chain of amino acids that signals biological activity in the body, typically administered by subcutaneous injection.

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids — typically fewer than 50 — that acts as a biological signaling molecule. In clinical practice, prescription peptides are used to support recovery, growth-axis function, immune modulation, and metabolic regulation. REVRCEL prescribes only peptides eligible for compounding through PCAB-accredited 503A partners, under physician oversight. Peptide therapy is not a substitute for medical care and is dispensed only after a comprehensive bloodwork review.
