Your Questions Answered: Weight Loss Peptides FAQ
1. What Is Weight Loss Peptide Therapy?
Weight Loss Peptide Therapy uses scientifically selected peptides — short chains of amino acids — to target biological functions that influence metabolism, appetite regulation, fat oxidation, and hormonal balance. These peptides work with your body’s natural systems to support healthy, sustainable weight loss without extreme diets or stimulants.
2. Is It Safe?
Yes — when used under clinical guidance, weight loss peptide therapy is considered safe and effective. At Nūūtro, every protocol is based on clinical research, tailored to your physiology, and sourced from EU GMP-approved or FDA-grade USA laboratories.
3. What Can Weight Loss Peptides Help With?
Weight loss peptides can support a broad range of metabolic and hormonal goals, including:
- Reducing body fat and visceral fat
- Controlling appetite and cravings
- Improving insulin sensitivity
- Enhancing energy and stamina
- Supporting lean muscle retention
- Rebalancing metabolic hormones like leptin, ghrelin, and insulin
4. How Does the 3-Month Protocol Work?
Your journey begins with a consultation, in-depth health review, and optional lab work. We then curate a personalised peptide plan — using pre-mixed vials or pens — ready for pickup at our Mayfair clinic.
Throughout the 3 months, you’ll receive ongoing clinical support, with regular check-ins and the flexibility to adapt your protocol as your body responds.
5. Do I Need Blood Work Before Starting?
In most cases, yes. Blood tests give us valuable insight into your metabolic markers, hormone levels, and overall health — allowing us to design a protocol that’s not only safe, but highly effective.
6. When Will I Start Seeing Results?
Most clients begin noticing improvements in appetite control, energy, and mood within 2–4 weeks. More visible changes in body composition — such as fat loss and muscle tone — typically develop across the 3-month protocol. Consistency and guided support are key to optimal results.
7. Are the Peptides Injectable?
Yes. Most weight loss peptides are administered through painless subcutaneous injections using either pre-loaded pens or professionally prepared vials. Our team provides full guidance to ensure safe and easy self-administration.
8. Can My Protocol Be Adjusted Over Time?
Absolutely. We maintain a tight feedback loop throughout your plan and will adjust dosages, timing, or peptide selection based on how your body responds. Your plan evolves with you.
9. Can I Combine Peptides with Other Therapies?
Yes. Many clients pair weight loss peptides with nutritional therapy, gut support, hormone balancing, or biohacking modalities for enhanced results. We’re happy to collaborate with your existing wellness team or design a full-stack protocol in-house.
10. How Much Does It Cost?
Weight loss peptide protocols at Nūūtro start from £400 per month, inclusive of your initial consultation, expert support, and clinically prepared peptide doses. Lab work or additional services may vary.
11. Are Peptides Legal in the UK? Do They Require a Prescription?
Peptides are legal in the UK, though they exist in a regulatory grey zone. Most peptides used for cosmetic or wellness purposes do not require a prescription. At Nūūtro, we strictly source EU GMP- and FDA-grade peptides, and all usage is guided by expert clinicians to ensure safety and compliance with UK frameworks.
