Your Questions Answered: Peptide FAQ
1. What Is Peptide Therapy?
Peptide Therapy involves the use of short chains of amino acids (peptides) to target specific biological functions in the body. These peptides can help regulate hormones, improve recovery, enhance cognitive function, support fat loss, and even slow signs of aging — all through naturally guided processes.
2. Is Peptide Therapy Safe?
Yes — when advised under clinical supervision and within proper educational dosing protocols, Peptide Therapy is considered safe. At Nūūtro Clinic, all protocols are research-based, clinically reviewed, and tailored to your individual health needs.
3. What Can Peptides Help With?
Peptides can support a wide range of goals, including:
- Hormonal balance.
- Muscle recovery and strength.
- Cognitive performance.
- Fat metabolism and body composition.
- Skin health and collagen production.
- Sleep quality and mood regulation.
4. How Does The 3-Month Protocol Work?
Your journey begins with a consultation, health assessment, and optional blood work.
From there, we curate a personalised peptide plan with premixed vials or pens, available for pickup at our Mayfair clinic.
You’ll receive ongoing support and progress reviews throughout the 3 months.
5. Do I need blood work before starting?
In most cases, yes. Blood work helps us understand your baseline hormone levels, metabolic profile, and key health markers, so we can tailor your protocol safely and effectively. We’ll guide you through the testing process if needed.
6. How soon will I notice results?
Some clients feel improvements in sleep, energy, and mood within 2–4 weeks. More significant changes in body composition, recovery, and cognitive function typically occur over the full 3-month period. Consistency is key.
7. Are the peptides injectable?
Yes, most peptides are delivered via painless subcutaneous injections using pre-loaded pens or pre-mixed vials — prepared and dosed for you. We provide full guidance on how to self-administer safely and confidently.
8. Will the treatment be adjusted if needed?
Absolutely. We maintain a close feedback loop throughout the protocol and can tweak your dosages or peptides based on how your body is responding. Your protocol is dynamic and built around you.
9. Can peptides be combined with other wellness therapies?
Yes. Many clients combine peptide therapy with nutrition plans, hormone balancing, biohacking protocols, and functional medicine. We’ll ensure compatibility and can collaborate with other practitioners if needed.
10. How much does it cost?
Our personalised peptide protocols start from £400 per month, which includes consultation, support, and your premixed peptides ready for pickup. Additional lab work or optional therapies may vary in price.
11. Do peptides require a prescription, and are peptides legal in the UK?
Peptides fall into a regulatory grey area in the UK. The majority of peptides do not require a prescription and are not dependent on advice from a medical doctor. Most peptides are legally available for research or cosmetic purposes.
At Nūūtro Clinic, we only source peptides that meet EU GMP or FDA-equivalent quality standards, and we operate within legal and ethical frameworks.
