The basics

What is peptide therapy

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the same building blocks your body already uses to regulate almost everything.

Energy productionCellular repairImmune responseMetabolismInflammation

Think of them as signals. They tell your cells what to do and when to do it.

Peptide therapy works by introducing specific peptides to support processes that may have slowed down due to age, stress, or how hard you’ve been pushing your body.

It’s not about overriding what your body does naturally. It’s about giving it more of what it needs to keep doing it well.

Peptide therapy has grown significantly as a field over the last several years, and the people exploring it tend to be the same people who are already investing in their health in other ways. They’re not looking for a shortcut. They’re looking for the next layer of support.

What’s Available Through This Program

Through EllieMD, clients have access to a range of medically supervised peptide therapy and wellness programs. The right protocol for you is determined entirely by EllieMD’s medical providers based on your individual health history.

IV Minnesota is a brand partner. We can introduce you to the program and answer general questions. We are not involved in medical decisions, prescribing, or clinical oversight that’s EllieMD’s role, and they take it seriously.

Some of the programs currently available include:

NAD+

Cellular energy support

Available in injectable form. Convenient at-home option that complements or extends IV NAD+ sessions.

BPC-157

Recovery and repair

Studied for connective tissue, inflammation, and gut health.

Not FDA-approved for human use. Available only following licensed medical provider review.

GLP-1 program

Medical weight management

A telehealth-based, provider-reviewed program. If you’re not a candidate, EllieMD will tell you.

And more. EllieMD’s programs continue to expand.

What we want you to know before you start

We don’t do hype. That’s true for IV therapy and it’s true here.

Nothing in this program moves forward without a licensed medical provider reviewing your individual health history first.

IV Minnesota introduced you to this program because we believe in it. Your care, your protocol, and your outcomes are between you and EllieMD.

How the Program Works

The process is straightforward and fully telehealth-based. No clinic visit required.

01

Complete a short health assessment.

Create a profile, select your area of interest, and answer a brief health history questionnaire. Most people finish in under 10 minutes.

02

A licensed medical provider reviews your case.

EllieMD’s medical team reviews your health history and determines the best approach for you. A phone call may be required. If you’re not the right fit for a program, your payment is refunded.

03

Your prescription is fulfilled and shipped to your door.

If a prescription is issued, it’s sent directly to a licensed pharmacy and shipped to your home — typically within 2 to 10 business days. No waiting rooms. No extra trips.

Your care is between you and EllieMD’s medical team. IV Minnesota is here to help you get to that first step — and to answer the general questions that come up along the way.

WHO TENDS TO ASK US ABOUT THIS

You might recognize yourself here.

You’ve been doing IV therapy for a while and you’re starting to think about what’s next.

You feel generally okay but your energy, recovery, or focus isn’t quite where it used to be.

You’re in your 40s or 50s and you’re being more intentional about how you age.

You’ve heard about BPC-157 or NAD+ injections and you want to access them through a real medical program, not a gray-market website.

You’ve tried to manage your weight through diet and exercise and you’re ready to have an honest conversation about what else might help.

You have a demanding schedule and you want something that works without asking you to overhaul your entire life.

If any of that sounds familiar, this is worth exploring. The health assessment is the right place to start, and EllieMD’s medical team takes it from there.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

The health assessment takes about 10 minutes. A real medical provider reviews your case before anything moves forward. And if you have questions before you’re ready to start — you can always reach us directly. We’re here to help you figure out if this is the right fit. That’s what we’ve always been here for.

Frequently asked questions

What is peptide therapy?

Peptide therapy uses specific chains of amino acids to support natural processes in the body, including cellular energy production, recovery, and metabolic health. Programs are medically supervised and personalized based on individual health history.

Is peptide therapy available near me?

Through IV Minnesota’s partnership with EllieMD, peptide therapy programs are available via telehealth. After completing a health assessment, a licensed medical provider reviews your history and determines whether a program is appropriate. Medications are shipped directly to your home.

What is BPC-157 peptide therapy?

BPC-157 is a peptide studied in research settings for its potential role in supporting recovery, connective tissue health, and gut function. It is not FDA-approved for human use. Through the EllieMD program, it is only available following a licensed medical provider review.

What are the benefits of peptide therapy?

The benefits of peptide therapy depend on the specific peptides used and the individual’s health profile. Common areas of focus include cellular energy support, physical recovery, metabolic health, and healthy aging. A medical provider determines which program is appropriate for each person.

Is IV Minnesota prescribing these programs?

No. IV Minnesota is a brand partner of EllieMD. We provide access to the program and can answer general questions, but all medical decisions, prescriptions, and clinical oversight are handled exclusively by EllieMD’s licensed medical providers.

How is this different from IV therapy?

IV therapy delivers vitamins, fluids, and nutrients directly into your bloodstream for fast absorption and immediate support. Peptide therapy programs are prescription-based, medically supervised, and designed to support your body over a longer timeframe. Many clients use both as part of their overall wellness routine.
