Physician-led peptide therapy
in Orlando.
Peptide therapy at APMUC is physician-led and begins with bloodwork, not a menu. Dr. Saied Shemiranei designs every plan personally, matched to your goals and your labs.
What peptide therapy may support.
Different peptides do different things. Dr. Shemiranei matches the peptide to your goals and your labs, so the plan is built around you rather than a fixed package. The areas patients in Orlando most often ask about:
Recovery and tissue repair
Peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500 (offered together in our WOLVERINE formulation) may support recovery from training, soft-tissue strain, and general wear and tear.
Metabolic wellness and body composition
Growth-hormone-supporting peptides such as sermorelin, ipamorelin, and tesamorelin, along with MOTS-c, may support lean body composition, energy, and healthy metabolism as you age. For patients focused on weight, peptides can complement a medically supervised weight plan. See our weight management program.
Libido and sexual wellness
PT-141 (bremelanotide) is FDA-approved for premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder and is used to support libido. Dr. Shemiranei will discuss whether it is appropriate for you.
Vitality, sleep, and energy
Many patients pursue peptides to support deeper sleep, steadier daytime energy, and an overall sense of feeling like themselves again.
Cognitive focus and mood
Peptides such as Semax and Selank are studied for their possible support of focus, mental clarity, and a calmer baseline.
Immune support
Thymosin Alpha-1 is studied as an immune-modulating peptide.
Cellular and mitochondrial health
Peptides such as MOTS-c and SS-31 (elamipretide) are being studied for their role in cellular energy and healthy aging.
Peptides are not a cure for any condition, and we do not promise specific outcomes. What we offer is a physician-designed plan and an honest conversation about what is realistic for you.
Is peptide therapy right for me?

Physician judgment, not sales pressure
Why patients in Orlando choose APMUC for peptides.
Physician evaluation, not a sales consult.
Every plan starts with a medical evaluation by Dr. Shemiranei. He reviews your history, examines your goals, orders the right labs, and decides whether peptides are appropriate before anything begins.
If peptides are not a fit, we will tell you.
This is medical judgment, not sales pressure. Most peptide programs in the area run through a nurse or a menu. At APMUC, the physician is the trust layer.
Transparent sourcing.
Our compounded peptides come from licensed 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies, prepared for you against a valid prescription. That is the difference between a medical practice and a sales experience.
Matched to your labs.
Different peptides do different things. Dr. Shemiranei matches the peptide to your goals and your labs, so the plan is built around you.
Honest about the evidence.
We disclose which peptides are FDA-approved and which are compounded and not FDA-approved, using “may support” language rather than outcome promises.

Benefits and limitations.
Peptides can be a useful tool as part of a physician-designed plan, and many patients value that they are working with signaling molecules the body already recognizes. At the same time, results build gradually, individual response varies, and several peptides are supported mainly by early research. Some peptides, including tesamorelin (Egrifta) and bremelanotide (Vyleesi), are FDA-approved for specific medical indications. Many wellness peptides are compounded and are not FDA-approved. Dr. Shemiranei will explain the status of any peptide he considers for you, so you can make an informed decision.
Frequently asked questions.
What is peptide therapy used for?
Depending on the peptide, patients pursue it to support recovery and tissue repair, metabolic wellness and body composition, libido, energy and sleep, cognitive focus, and immune or cellular health. Dr. Shemiranei matches the peptide to your goals and labs.
Is peptide therapy safe?
Safety depends on the specific peptide, the source, and the patient. Physician screening, sourcing from licensed 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies, and follow-up monitoring are how we manage it. That is why a consultation is required before any plan.
Are peptides FDA-approved?
Some are, and many are not. Tesamorelin and bremelanotide are FDA-approved for specific indications. Many wellness peptides are compounded, which is not the same as FDA approval. Dr. Shemiranei explains the status of any peptide he considers for you.
Do I need lab work first?
Yes. Baseline labs help confirm whether peptide therapy is appropriate and give us a reference point for follow-up. Bloodwork is part of the standard APMUC process.
How soon will I notice results?
Peptides are not instant. Most benefits build gradually over weeks, and we track your progress at follow-up visits.
Can peptides help with weight or body composition?
Growth-hormone-supporting peptides and MOTS-c may support metabolism and lean body composition, and they can complement a medically supervised weight plan. Dr. Shemiranei will advise what fits your goals.
How is APMUC different from a med-spa peptide program?
Every plan is designed and supervised by Dr. Saied Shemiranei, medical director and founder. We match peptides to your labs, source from licensed compounding pharmacies, and give you an honest assessment before anything begins.
Where do the peptides come from?
Compounded peptides are prepared by licensed 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies against a valid, patient-specific prescription.
