Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals in the body. Used well, they are precise. Used casually, they are a risk.
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids. Your body already runs on them: many of the signals that tell your body what to do are peptides or proteins.
Because of that, peptides can be used in a targeted way, and because of that, they also are not casual products. What is appropriate, at what amount, for how long, is a medical question.
At our clinic, peptides are used under provider oversight and only after an evaluation.
Under provider supervision. Care at Weigh To Go SC is overseen by Courtney Hutto, FNP-C, a Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of clinical experience, licensed in South Carolina. Every plan starts with an evaluation, and your provider has the final word on what is right for you.
Some prescription medications used in medical weight loss work along hormone pathways your body already uses, such as GLP-1, which affects appetite and fullness. These are prescribed and monitored by your provider.
Certain peptides are discussed for recovery and general wellness support. Your provider will tell you what is appropriate for you and what is not.
Our skincare line includes peptide formulations, such as the Multi-Peptide Eye Cream, which use peptides like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 topically.
A conversation with your provider about your history, goals, and what you have tried.
Labs when the picture requires them, so decisions are based on your numbers.
What is being suggested, why, what it can and cannot do, and what it costs.
Follow-up and adjustment, because anything worth starting is worth watching.
Anything you buy online without a provider, you are taking unsupervised. We will not pretend otherwise, and we will not sell you a peptide you do not need.
If you are already using something, bring it in. We would rather know than guess.

No. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signals. They are not anabolic steroids.
Not at our clinic. Everything starts with your provider reviewing your situation.
Some prescription medications used in medical weight loss work along peptide hormone pathways such as GLP-1. Your provider decides whether that fits your plan.
