What Are Peptide Therapies, Really?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Unlike traditional hormone replacement, peptide protocols target specific pathways — growth, repair, sleep, metabolism — with high precision. In this primer, our clinical team breaks down what peptides do, how prescribers evaluate whether they're appropriate for a given patient, and what to expect from a personalized protocol. We cover BPC-157 for tissue repair, CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin for growth-hormone modulation, and the safety considerations every prescriber checks before recommending a stack.

How a Kayu Health Intake Works
Every patient on Kayu starts with a guided medical intake — health history, current medications, recent labs, and goals. A licensed clinician reviews the file before any prescription is issued. We walk through each step of the intake, what data we ask for, why we ask, and how the clinician determines whether a protocol is appropriate. We also explain how transparent pricing works and why you're never charged before clinician approval.

Here's the story behind the company — and why we made the choice to dispense exclusively through state-licensed compounding pharmacies, even though it's the harder path operationally.
