Your first step is booking a Peptide Consultation with our Medical Director, Dr. Em Zakhary, DO. It is a thirty-minute, one-on-one appointment where we review your medical history, discuss your goals, and build a personalized protocol.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, that act as targeted signaling molecules in the body. They help regulate processes like fat metabolism, muscle growth and recovery, skin health and collagen production, and cellular repair. Think of them as precise messengers that tell your body how to function more optimally.

Not quite. Peptides are targeted signaling compounds that direct specific biological actions. Vitamins are essential micronutrients that support overall health. They can complement each other, but they work very differently.

Peptides are not effective when taken orally because they are broken down in the digestive system. Instead, they are administered via subcutaneous injections (just under the skin) using very small, fine needles. Simple and well-tolerated.

We source exclusively from a licensed compounding pharmacy that adheres to FDA standards. This ensures safety, sterility, and medical-grade quality, unlike "research peptides," which are not regulated for human use.

Some peptides are FDA-approved for specific medical indications (for example, certain growth hormone therapies, insulin, and GLP-1 medications). Others are used off-label under medical supervision, which is standard in many areas of medicine.

In many cases, yes, but this is determined individually based on your health history and current medications during your consultation.

Typically, yes. Labs are often required before or in between cycles. The specifics will be discussed during your consultation and follow-ups.

Each program typically includes a 12-week (3-month) active cycle, sometimes followed by an off-cycle period for reassessment.

NAD+ is a coenzyme every cell in your body needs to function. It is central to energy production, cellular repair, and how the body handles stress. Levels naturally decline with age. At FORMAT, NAD+ lives inside our Recovery Protocol and is administered in-clinic on a weekly cadence so dose, technique, and compliance stay consistent.

The consultation fee is $100. It is non-refundable and does not apply toward the cost of a protocol if you choose to enroll.
