Peptide & wellness therapies for perimenopause and menopause
Physician-prescribed peptide and wellness therapies for perimenopause and menopause.
Compounded peptides and prescription therapies, prescribed only after a clinical evaluation by a licensed physician and prepared by a licensed pharmacy.
What are peptides?
Short chains of amino acids your body already makes.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks that make up proteins. Your body makes many peptides of its own, and they act as signaling molecules in processes such as hormone release and tissue maintenance.
Some peptide therapies are prescription medications prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. At HerTide, a licensed physician reviews your health history before anything is prescribed and decides whether a therapy is appropriate for you.
Our approach to what we offer
We keep our formulary deliberately narrow. We offer only therapies that can be prescribed after a clinical evaluation and prepared by a licensed pharmacy that meets our sourcing standards. We don't offer products sold as "research use only," and a therapy that is widely discussed online is not something we add for that reason alone.
Not everything we offer is a peptide
Alongside peptide therapies, HerTide physicians may prescribe other prescription therapies, such as topical retinoids or low-dose naltrexone. Each product below is labeled so you can tell which is which.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing quality before they are marketed.
How it works
Four steps, starting with a quick quiz.
Take the quiz
A short guided quiz points you to the pathways most relevant to your history and goals.
Complete your intake
A clinical history built for perimenopause and menopause specifically.
Physician review
A licensed physician reviews your history and clinical information and decides which therapies, if any, are appropriate for you.
Prescription and shipment
If treatment is prescribed, your peptide or prescription therapy is dispensed by a licensed compounding pharmacy at the dose your physician sets.
Five pathways
Peptide and prescription therapies grouped by clinical area. A physician decides which, if any, are appropriate for you.
Skin Health
GHK-Cu cream 0.5%
Peptide therapyGHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-peptide complex found in human plasma. The topical formulation is applied to the skin and may be prescribed by a licensed physician as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Tretinoin
Prescription therapyTretinoin is a topical retinoid, a form of vitamin A that acts on retinoic acid receptors in the skin. Two strengths are available. Your physician chooses the strength based on your history with retinoids. Tretinoin is not appropriate during pregnancy.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Individual responses vary. Treatment is prescribed only when clinically appropriate.

Take the quizMetabolic Health
Sermorelin
Peptide therapySermorelin is a growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It is designed to stimulate the body's natural release of growth hormone and may be prescribed by a licensed physician when clinically appropriate, based on your medical history, clinical assessment and, when appropriate, laboratory findings.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide
Peptide therapySemaglutide and tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists; tirzepatide also acts on the GIP receptor. Semaglutide (e.g., Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and tirzepatide (e.g., Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) are FDA-approved for specific indications and are prescribed only when clinically appropriate. Not all patients are candidates. If compounded medications are prescribed, they are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy under a valid prescription and are not the same as, nor interchangeable with, FDA-approved medications. Your physician sets your dose and adjusts it gradually. The price depends on the vial size prescribed.
