FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Including the ones where the honest answer is that we do not know yet.
Getting started
What is NPS?
Nortian Peptide Sciences is an American specialty peptide company. We own the licensed 503A pharmacies that compound your prescription, and we release every batch against a documented identity, purity and potency panel. We are also building two API synthesis plants in Missouri, which come online in 2028 and 2029.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Every product requires a prescription from a licensed provider, issued after a real medical evaluation. Completing our form is a request for an evaluation — it is not a purchase of a drug, and approval is not guaranteed.
How long does the quiz take?
About two minutes. It includes a safety screen, and some answers will mean we cannot serve you. That is the screen working correctly.
What if I am not eligible?
We will tell you plainly and suggest speaking with your own provider. We will not try to route you back into a purchase, and you can delete your answers on the spot.
Prescriptions & providers
Who reviews my request?
A provider licensed in the United States reviews your intake. [TBD] The specific provider network and the states in which they are licensed are being finalized.
What if I am declined?
You are not charged. A provider declining is a clinical judgment about fit, and it is a normal outcome of a real evaluation.
Can I use a prescription from my own doctor?
[TBD] This depends on the dispensing pharmacy and the state. We will publish the answer before launch rather than guess at it here.
Products & quality
Are these FDA-approved?
No, and the distinction matters. These are compounded preparations made by licensed 503A pharmacies. The FDA does not verify the safety, effectiveness or quality of compounded medications — it regulates the pharmacies that make them, not the individual preparations. That is precisely why we publish what we do: because nobody else is verifying it for you, we release every batch against LC-MS/MS identity, HPLC potency to a 99.0% specification, LAL endotoxin, USP <71> sterility and USP <788> particulates, with mandatory sign-off. In July 2026 the FDA’s Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee voted to recommend several peptides — including BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and MOTS-c — for Category 1 compoundability. An advisory-committee recommendation is not an approval and not an endorsement of safety or efficacy. Epitalon and Semax were not part of that recommendation.
What is a 503A pharmacy?
A 503A is a compounding pharmacy that prepares medications to order, for an individual patient, against a specific prescription. It is regulated under section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and by state boards of pharmacy. It is not a manufacturer, and it does not make products for general sale.
How is each batch tested?
Every lot is released against identity by LC-MS/MS, potency by HPLC against a 99.0% specification, endotoxin by LAL, sterility per USP <71>, and particulates per USP <788>. API is sourced only from Tier-1 U.S. and allied producers with an auditable certificate of analysis, chiral panel and residual-solvent data on every lot.
Can I see a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every vial carries a lot number, and you can look that lot up on our verification page to see its release panel. That is the whole point of the company.
Who compounds my prescription, and where?
[TBD-LEGAL] The specific licensed entity, its state, and its permit number will be disclosed here before launch. We will not describe this in general terms when the specifics are what matter.
Shipping
Which states do you ship to?
[TBD-FOOTPRINT] Our launch footprint has not been published yet. Our 503A network is being built to reach all 50 states by year five, but that is a target, not where we are today, and we would rather say so.
How fast is shipping?
[TBD] Shipping terms do not exist yet. We will not borrow a competitor’s promise.
Is packaging discreet?
[TBD] To be confirmed before launch.
Billing & subscriptions
How does billing work?
[TBD] Pricing has not been published. There is no payment step on this site today and we do not collect card details anywhere.
Can I cancel?
[TBD] Cancellation and auto-renewal terms will be published in full before any charge is ever made, as the FTC’s negative-option rule requires.
Do you take insurance?
No. Compounded preparations are generally cash-pay and no insurance claim is filed. That is normal for this category rather than a limitation of our service.
Safety
What are the risks?
[TBD-CLINICAL] Risk information must come from a licensed clinician and a legal review. We would rather leave this visibly blank than fill it with something plausible.
Who should not take these?
[TBD-CLINICAL] Our quiz screens for pregnancy and breastfeeding, age under 18, active cancer diagnosis and organ transplant. The complete contraindication list is being written by a licensed clinician.
How do I report a side effect?
Use our adverse event reporting page. You can also report directly to the FDA through MedWatch. If you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
