Prescription peptides vs research peptides: the distinction that matters
The two share a chemistry and almost nothing else. Why Heredity sits firmly on the prescribed, clinically supervised side of that line.

The phrase research peptides describes material sold for laboratory use, explicitly not for human consumption, with no clinical oversight, no prescription, and no individual accountability. It shares a name with prescription peptides and very little else.
Same molecule, different system
A prescription pathway adds the things that matter most: a licensed clinician assessing suitability, a valid prescription, a licensed pharmacy compounding to standard, and a record of who is responsible at each step. The chemistry may overlap; the accountability does not.
Where Heredity stands
Heredity is unambiguously the prescribed, supervised model. We do not sell research-use material, and we do not extend membership to everyone who asks. The application exists precisely so that suitability is established before anything is dispensed.
How Heredity approaches this
Heredity is application-only and clinically supervised. Membership is reviewed, not sold, and any protocol is designed and overseen by a licensed clinician, then compounded by a licensed U.S. pharmacy partner.
