Peptide Therapy Updates at NEUVITALITY Buford

Peptide therapy offers numerous health benefits, from weight loss to muscle gain and improved brain health. However, recent FDA regulations have restricted 17 peptides, primarily due to safety concerns, limited clinical research, and risks associated with compounding practices. NEUVITALITY Buford remains committed to offering safe, effective, and FDA-compliant peptide therapies tailored to your wellness goals.

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are chains of amino acids essential for bodily functions. Popular peptides like semaglutide and tirzepatide remain well-researched and widely used for weight loss and overall health. However, peptides with insufficient clinical data were recently restricted by the FDA to ensure safety and consistency.
