Peptide Therapy

Peptide-based therapies are an area of substantial scientific and public interest, and research involving selected compounds continues to evolve. However, the available evidence, FDA approval status, product quality, and safety profile differ significantly among individual therapies and proposed uses. Many compounded peptide products promoted for longevity, body composition, recovery, or general wellness have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.

Ludlow Longevity is therefore not currently initiating compounded peptide therapy for longevity or general wellness purposes. We are closely monitoring FDA actions, emerging clinical evidence, and evolving federal and state requirements.

What are peptides?

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that serve as signaling molecules, essentially telling other molecules what to do next. They attach to receptor proteins and determine how your cells respond to stimuli. Peptides have a direct impact on many of your body’s most basic functions, including mood, libido, weight fluctuations, and immune regulation. Most notably, peptides play a vital role in delivering anti-aging and antimicrobial properties.
