How We Vet Clinics

Every clinic in this directory goes through a standardized review before listing and on a recurring basis. Here’s exactly what we check and why.

Why vetting matters in this vertical

Peptide therapy sits in a regulatory gray zone. Some compounds are FDA-approved medications. Others are legally compoundable with a prescription. Others are sold as “research chemicals” with no oversight. The clinic you choose determines which category you’re actually getting — and whether a licensed provider is accountable for your care.

The directory exists because the gap between the best and worst providers in this space is enormous, and it’s nearly impossible to tell them apart from a website. Everyone uses the same stock photos and the same language. We check the things that can’t be faked.

The three core checks

These are the non-negotiables. A clinic that fails any one of these is not listed, regardless of reputation or reviews. 

Baseline Labs Required

We confirm the clinic requires comprehensive initial bloodwork before prescribing any peptide protocol. Providers who prescribe blindly — or who let patients skip labs for convenience — are excluded. We verify this by reviewing their intake process and, where possible, through anonymous inquiry.

Licensed Compounding Pharmacy

We ask which 503A (state-licensed) or 503B (FDA-registered outsourcing) pharmacy fulfills their prescriptions, and we verify that pharmacy's license status. Clinics that source from unlicensed suppliers, "research chemical" vendors, or refuse to name their pharmacy are excluded. We also confirm certificates of analysis are available on request.

Regulatory Transparency

We evaluate whether the provider can clearly explain the current FDA and state regulatory status of the compounds they offer — including which are approved, which are compoundable, and which have been restricted. Providers who misrepresent regulatory status or use evasive language are excluded.

Vetting a clinic yourself

If you’re evaluating a clinic outside this directory, here are the questions to ask. The answers should be immediate and specific.

  1. “Which pharmacy compounds your peptides?” — They should name it. Look it up.
  2. “What labs do you require before prescribing?” — Should be a specific panel, not “we’ll see.”
  3. “Is this compound FDA-approved, compoundable, or research-only?” — They should know and tell you plainly.
  4. “Who is the prescribing provider and what is their license number?” — Look it up on the state board.
  5. “What is the total cost including labs and follow-ups?” — Should be a number, not a range with asterisks.
  6. “Can I see a certificate of analysis for this batch?” — Yes or no. No is disqualifying.
