Replace the category with a product name
Ask for the name of the substance, the intended clinical purpose, and the formulation under discussion. Clarify whether it is an FDA-approved product for that use, an off-label use of an approved product, or an unapproved preparation. These are different questions. A clinic should not need to rely on a broad wellness label to explain what it is proposing.
Ask what evidence supports the specific use
Request evidence that addresses the actual substance, intended outcome, and relevant patient population. Ask whether the evidence is from human studies and what important uncertainty remains. Testimonials and attractive before-and-after imagery do not answer those questions. If the explanation is difficult to follow, ask for a written source you can review before deciding.
Make the option to decline clear
Ask what alternatives exist and what would happen if you chose no treatment. Clarify who would monitor care and how adverse concerns would be handled. Hyperwell’s peptide page is an education and consultation pathway; it does not confirm availability of a named peptide or promise a prescription. Product status and clinical appropriateness must be checked at the time of care.
Make the conversation yours
Questions to take with you.
- What exactly is the substance and proposed use?
- What evidence supports that use in people?
- What would make you advise against this option?
