The cost of hGH peptide therapy can vary significantly depending on several factors:
- Type of hGH peptide used - There are several different hGH peptides available, such as sermorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, and others. The type of peptide used can impact the overall cost. Sermorelin and ipamorelin tend to be more affordable options.
- Dosage - The dosage prescribed will depend on your individual needs and goals. Higher dosages will increase costs. Typical dosages range from 100mcg to 1000mcg per day.
- Frequency of injections - hGH peptides need to be injected, usually subcutaneously. The frequency of injections can be anywhere from once per day to 2-3 times per week. Needing more frequent injections will raise costs.
- Length of treatment - Most patients use hGH peptides for several months at a time, such as 3-6 months. Longer treatment plans will ultimately cost more than shorter ones. Some people do choose to use them indefinitely.
- Additional medications/supplements - It’s common for hGH peptides to be used together with other therapies, like testosterone or hCG. Adding more components will add more total cost.
- Clinic pricing - Prices for hGH peptides can vary greatly among different medical clinics and providers. Anti-aging, hormone therapy, and peptide clinics generally charge more than buying directly from a licensed compound pharmacy.
So based on those factors, a typical price range for hGH peptide therapy is:
- 3 month supply
- Dosage of 100-300mcg per day
- 3 injections per week
- Peptide type: sermorelin, ipamorelin, or MOD GRF 1-29
- Total cost: $500 to $1,500
- 6 month supply
- Dosage of 300-1000mcg per day
- 5 injections per week
- Peptide type: sermorelin, ipamorelin, CJC-1295, GHRPs
- Additional meds like testosterone
- Total cost: $1,500 to $4,500
- Indefinite treatment
- Higher dose up to 1000mcg per day
- Alternating peptides
- Additional meds like hCG
- From an anti-aging or hormone clinic
- Total cost: $5,000 per year
As you can see, the total cost can range dramatically from under $1,000 for a basic short-term treatment plan to over $5k per year for higher doses and long-term use. Some key tips to save money on treatment include:
- Buy peptides from a licensed compounding pharmacy instead of a clinic
- Start with lower dose treatment cycles
- Use fewer components and only what you really need
- Use insurance coverage if available to offset costs
So in summary, most patients can expect to spend around $2,000 to $3,000 per 6 month treatment cycle for hGH peptide therapy when using a moderate dosage protocol from a compound pharmacy. But total costs can be higher or lower depending on your precise treatment protocol. Be sure to talk to your provider about expected costs before starting.
