How much does peptide therapy cost?

Monthly pricing, hidden fees, and what you actually pay

Peptide therapy pricing can be difficult to compare because plan inclusions vary. This guide breaks down per-peptide costs, what a treatment plan may cover, and which services—such as required labs—may carry a separate charge.

What you'll learn

Most single-peptide protocols cost $150 to $500 per month
Medication, clinician review, shipping, and injection supplies for injectable plans should be clearly disclosed; labs may be separate
Combination protocols (2+ peptides) typically run $400 to $800 per month
Protocol length is 8–16 weeks — budget for the full cycle, not just month one
The cheapest option is rarely the best — quality of fulfillment and clinician oversight matter

Educational content only — not medical advice. All prescribing decisions are made by a U.S. licensed clinician after intake.

Per-peptide monthly pricing

Pricing varies by peptide, dose, and fulfillment, but these ranges reflect what most legitimate U.S. telehealth platforms charge for a standard protocol. All prices are monthly and assume a clinician-supervised protocol from a licensed compounding facility.

Sermorelin

$200–$350/mo — growth hormone support, daily injection

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin

$200–$350/mo — growth hormone support, combined protocol

BPC-157 + TB-500

$200–$400/mo — tissue repair, daily during active recovery

NAD+

$150–$300/mo — cellular energy, weekly injection

Glutathione

$150–$250/mo — antioxidant support, weekly injection

Tesamorelin

$300–$500/mo — visceral fat reduction, daily injection

PT-141

$150–$300/mo — sexual health, as-needed use

What should be included in the price

A transparent peptide therapy program should include the following in its monthly cost, or clearly list them as add-ons. If a platform's price looks unusually low, check what is actually included.

The compounded peptide medication itself
Injection supplies (syringes, alcohol pads)
Temperature-controlled shipping to your door
Clinician oversight and protocol adjustments
Access to a care team for questions

Costs that are often hidden

The most common hidden cost is labs. Baseline bloodwork is recommended before starting any peptide protocol, and follow-up labs at the end of the cycle tell you whether the protocol achieved its target. Some platforms include labs; others charge $100 to $300 per panel.

Some services charge separately for clinician review or protocol changes. Neuvé MD includes clinician consult and review in the displayed treatment plan price with no separate patient consult fee. Labs are charged separately when required.

How protocol length affects total cost

Peptide protocols are not indefinite — they run in defined cycles. A typical sermorelin protocol is 12 to 16 weeks. BPC-157 runs 8 to 12 weeks. NAD+ is often ongoing or seasonal.

Budget for the full cycle, not just month one. A 12-week sermorelin protocol at $275/month costs about $825 total. A 16-week BPC-157 + TB-500 protocol at $300/month costs about $1,200. Some platforms offer discounts for paying the full protocol upfront.

How to compare peptide therapy programs

When comparing programs, the monthly rate is only one factor. Consider the level of clinician oversight, whether medication and shipping are included, whether injectable supplies are provided, and how required lab charges are disclosed.

Is the fulfillment facility licensed and listed? Ask for the name — you can verify it with your state board
Are labs included or extra?
Is clinician access included for questions and protocol adjustments?
What happens if you have a side effect — is there a process to adjust or stop?
Is the protocol length defined, or is it open-ended billing?

Frequently asked questions

How much is peptide therapy per month?

Most single-peptide protocols cost $150 to $500 per month, depending on the peptide and dose. Combination protocols with two or more peptides typically run $400 to $800 per month. The price should include the medication, supplies, and shipping.

Does insurance cover peptide therapy?

Most compounded peptide therapy is not covered by insurance because compounded preparations are not FDA-approved finished products. Some patients use HSA or FSA funds to pay for peptide therapy. Check with your plan administrator.

Why is peptide therapy so expensive?

The cost reflects three things: the compounded medication (prepared by a licensed fulfillment facility to specifications), clinician oversight (protocol design, monitoring, and adjustments), and shipping (temperature-controlled for injectables). Grey-market alternatives are cheaper because they skip all three.

Can I pay for the full protocol upfront?

Some platforms offer a discount for paying the full protocol cost upfront rather than monthly. This typically saves 5 to 15%. Ask whether this option is available.

What is the cheapest peptide therapy?

Glutathione and NAD+ are typically the most affordable peptides, starting around $150/month. However, the right peptide depends on your goal — the cheapest option is not necessarily the most effective for your specific needs.
