Compounding peps into caps?

I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere. Can compounding pharmacies take peptides that you buy online and encapsulate them for easier consumption? Or is that a no-go because they weren't prescribed by a doctor?
 
Generally speaking, peptides aren't absorbed well when taken orally. Injections are usually the only effective route.
 
I've never tried that. You could get empty capsules and fill them yourself. Sounds kinda tricky, but I know folks who fill capsules with vitamins they get in bulk from overseas.
 
No way a compounding pharmacy will touch peptides you bought on the internet with your money. Those sites sell peptides for "research purposes only", meaning they aren't approved for us to use. I am not judging but a legit pharmacy won't go near them.
 
Makes sense about the pharmacy thing, I just wish there was an easier way to take this stuff. The measuring is annoying.
 
Have you looked into GLP-1 medications? They are injectable, but people are having great success losing weight. Semaglutide is one, but due to demand, there can be shortages.
 
I've heard about Empower Pharmacy. I read they got FDA approval to make GLP-1 drugs like Semaglutide and can ship to all states. That could help with the shortage Reese_2007 mentioned.

I didn't know they were FDA approved! That's reassuring. Thanks for the info!
 
Be careful with compounded meds! I saw an FDA report where they found some problems during an inspection of a compounding pharmacy. It was an older report, but worth considering. It's important to do your research.
