Peptide Therapy in Spain: Prices, Types & Specialised Clinics
Precise molecular signals to repair and optimise the body
Definition and how it works: Therapeutic peptides are short amino acid chains (2–50 amino acids) that act as molecular signals in the body, activating specific receptors with high selectivity and safety. Unlike hormones, peptides act in a more localised and transient manner. The most commonly used in longevity medicine are BPC-157 (tissue repair), TB-500 (recovery), GHK-Cu (skin and regeneration), Epithalon (telomeres) and growth hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin).

What is Peptide Therapy?
Therapeutic peptides are short amino acid chains (2–50 amino acids) that act as molecular signals in the body, activating specific receptors with high selectivity and safety. Unlike hormones, peptides act in a more localised and transient manner. The most commonly used in longevity medicine are BPC-157 (tissue repair), TB-500 (recovery), GHK-Cu (skin and regeneration), Epithalon (telomeres) and growth hormone secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin).
Origin and history
Bioactive peptides were first identified in the 1950s–60s. Dr Vladimir Khavinson at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Gerontology developed bioregulatory peptides in the 1970s. Their clinical use in longevity has gained global popularity since 2015.
Peptide Therapy protocol step by step
1. Assessment and selection Review of goals, hormonal blood work and medical history. Selection of specific peptides.
2. Medical prescription Prescription by an authorised physician. Sourced from a compounding pharmacy or clinic.
3. Self-injection training Subcutaneous technique in abdomen or thigh. Insulin syringes (31G). Injection site rotation.
4. Administration protocol Frequency varies by peptide: daily (BPC-157), 2–3 weeks (Epithalon), 5-on/2-off (GH secretagogues).
5. Follow-up blood work Control blood panel at 8–12 weeks. Dose adjustment based on response.

The science behind Peptide Therapy
BPC-157 has been shown in multiple animal studies to accelerate the healing of tendons, ligaments and gastrointestinal tissue via the VEGF pathway and nitric oxide synthesis. Epithalon (a pineal gland tetrapeptide) has demonstrated telomere lengthening and reduced mortality in animal models in studies at the Khavinson Institute. GH secretagogues stimulate the natural pulsatile release of growth hormone.

Frequently asked questions about Peptide Therapy
Are peptides legal in Spain?
Some peptides are registered as medicines (such as BPC-157 in certain countries). Others are prescribed under compassionate use or within studies. It is essential to obtain them through a supervised medical clinic, not from unregulated sources.
Which peptide is most popular for longevity?
Epithalon (Epitalon) is the most researched for direct longevity, with studies showing telomere lengthening. For recovery, BPC-157 is the most requested. For hormonal optimisation, GH secretagogues (CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin) are the most widely used.
Are they administered at a clinic or at home?
Peptide protocols are usually initiated at a clinic under medical supervision. Many patients learn to self-administer subcutaneous injections at home once the protocol is established.
