Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids naturally found in the body. They act as signaling molecules that help regulate various biological processes such as inflammation, healing, metabolism, and more.

Are Haven Wellness peptides safe?

Yes. Haven peptides are manufactured in a certified U.S. compounding facility with strict quality control. We work only with licensed medical professionals, and our peptides are tested for purity and sterility.

Do I need a prescription to purchase peptides from Haven Wellness?

Most peptides are administered via subcutaneous injection (under the skin), typically once or twice daily depending on the protocol. Your provider will give clear instructions.

Are there side effects?

Side effects are generally rare and mild, such as injection site redness or lightheadedness. Always follow your provider’s guidance and report any concerns.

Can I combine peptides?

Yes. Many peptides are synergistic. For example, BPC-157 and TB4 Frag are often stacked for enhanced healing. Your provider will advise on the best protocol for your needs.

What does TB4 Frag help with?

This fragment helps with tissue repair, inflammation, and angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth).

Is it like BPC-157?

It works synergistically with BPC-157 but has distinct benefits for soft tissue and cardiovascular repair.

Thymogen Alpha-1 (TA1)

What does TA1 do?

TA1 enhances immune function, modulates inflammation, and can support recovery from viral infections and autoimmune stress.

Who benefits most from TA1?

Patients recovering from illness, under immune stress, or undergoing cancer therapy often benefit.

Key Studies:
