The OTC MD - Your trusted source for health, wellness, and real results
Your trusted source for health, wellness, and real results
FAQ
Getting Started
100%.
Every advanced compound we sell — including oral GLP-1s, peptides, and bioregulators — is compounded in a licensed, GMP-certified facility under physician oversight.
That means full regulatory compliance, traceable lot numbers, and Certificates of Analysis available for every batch.
We don’t sell “research-only” products. We sell doctor-dispensed medicine-grade compounds you can trust.
Nope. That’s the entire point of The OTC MD.
Under Canadian regulations, certain compounds can be doctor-dispensed directly without a traditional prescription.
You still get physician oversight and pharmacy-grade quality — just without the hoops, the office visits, or the $1,000 price tags.
Doctor-direct, not doctor-gatekept.
Two paths:
Already know what you want? Browse the catalog and order directly.
Not sure? Send us an email. We’d be happy to chat and put together our recommendations for you.
You’ll get a personalized plan from our physician team — not a random algorithm.
Smart decision-making. Without the research rabbit hole.
It is if you’re the kind of person who:
- Reads PubMed before buying supplements
- Values medical oversight but hates bureaucracy
- Wants results backed by science, not hype
If that’s you, welcome to your people.
If you want a magic pill or a $29 shortcut from Amazon — we’re not it.
Pricing & Value
Because you’re not gambling with your health.
Gray-market peptides cost $30–80 because they’re made in unregulated labs with zero oversight. No COA. No doctor. No recourse if something goes wrong.
Our compounds cost $105–450 because you’re getting:
- ✅ GMP-certified compounding
- ✅ Physician oversight and protocol design
- ✅ Certificate of Analysis for every batch
- ✅ Direct medical support via email and community
- ✅ 30-day satisfaction guarantee
You’re not paying for peptides. You’re paying for legitimate medicine — the kind you’d get from a doctor if the system weren’t broken.
The real question: What’s the cost of taking something you can’t verify?
Because we cut out the middlemen.
Big Pharma charges $500–1,000/month for GLP-1 because they can — insurance companies negotiate, PBMs take cuts, and you’re left with the bill.
We work directly with licensed compounding pharmacies. No insurance. No inflated pricing. Just doctor-direct access at fair prices.
Same quality. Same oversight. Without the ransom.
We offer auto-refill subscriptions for ongoing protocols (GLP-1, NAD⁺, longevity stacks) — but they’re optional, never locked-in.
You can pause, skip, or cancel at any time. No contracts. No “call to cancel” nonsense.
We’re here to support your biology, not trap you in a subscription you’ll forget about.
One-time purchases are always available.
Products & Protocols
Everything we sell fits one rule: it must be the best in its class.
That includes:
- Oral GLP-1 weight loss protocols
- Research peptides & bioregulators (BPC-157, Thymosin, Epitalon, etc.)
- NAD⁺ restoration & mitochondrial support
- Nootropics & cognitive enhancers
- Clinical-grade skincare & dermatology actives
Every item is physician-approved, clinically dosed, and backed by research — never marketing fluff.
Same mechanism. Different delivery. Better adherence.
Ozempic/Wegovy (injections):
- Weekly injections (compliance drops to ~60% in real-world studies)
- Common side effects: nausea, injection-site reactions
- Expensive ($800–1,200/month without insurance)
Our Oral GLP-1 (capsules):
- Once-daily capsule (87% adherence rate in our pilot)
- Same metabolic benefits (9.4% average weight loss in 90 days)
- Fraction of the cost ($450/month, no insurance needed)
- No needles. No refrigeration.
If you’ve been avoiding GLP-1 because of injections, this is your path.
Yes — in Canada, under physician oversight.
BPC-157 and TB-500 are not FDA-approved drugs in the US, which is why most sites sell them as “research chemicals.”
In Canada, it’s different:
- Licensed compounding facilities can produce these compounds under physician direction
- They’re dispensed as doctor-supervised therapeutic agents, not “research-only”
- Fully compliant with Health Canada regulations
You’re not buying gray-market chemicals. You’re getting physician-dispensed peptides from a licensed laboratory.
Convenience vs. clinical setting. Both work.
NAD⁺ IV:
- dministered in a clinic (costs $400–800/session)
- Higher bioavailability (100% absorption)
- Requires time, travel, and a clinical visit
NAD⁺ Sublingual:
- At-home, under-the-tongue delivery
- High bioavailability (bypasses first-pass metabolism)
- Costs $129/month
- Take it daily, on your schedule
If you want NAD⁺ restoration without clinic visits and $800 bills, sublingual is your answer.
Yes — with guidance.
Stacking (combining compounds) is common in biohacking, but it needs to be done intelligently.
Safe, effective stacks we recommend:
- GLP-1 + NAD⁺ (metabolic optimization + energy)
- BPC-157 + TB-500 (comprehensive recovery)
- NAD⁺ + nootropics (cognitive + mitochondrial support)
- Tretinoin + peptide skincare (synergistic anti-aging)
How we help:
- Email our physicians before stacking
- Join our private community to see what others are stacking
- Take the quiz for personalized stacking recommendations
We’ll tell you what works — and what to avoid.
Safety & Quality
Because safety is non-negotiable.
All compounds are GMP Certified to Health Canada standards — not produced in gray-market labs.
We receive COAs (Certificates of Analysis) for every batch, verifying purity, potency, and sterility.
And every program includes doctor oversight and support if you ever have questions or side effects.
No guessing. No Reddit dosing. Just real medicine, done right.
Yes — and you should.

We’re not anonymous. We’re accountable.
Three words: Doctor. Led. Community.
We’re not a sketchy “research chemical” site hiding behind a disclaimer.
We’re not Big Pharma, either — we’re not overcharging or gatekeeping access.
We’re the third option:
- Doctor-vetted products selected by longevity experts
- Pharmacy-grade compounding with transparent sourcing
- Community support with real medical guidance
The result? Access and quality — in the same place.
No — and here’s how you know:
What we’re NOT:
- ❌ Not a gray-market “research chemical” site
- ❌ Not an offshore pharmacy drop-shipping from China
- ❌ Not a telehealth mill churning out prescriptions
What we ARE:
- ✅ Doctor-founded, physician-led longevity platform
- ✅ GMP Certified laboratories doing the compounding
- ✅ COAs (Certificates of Analysis) for every batch
- ✅ Direct medical support included with every purchase
We’re building the category we wish existed when we needed it.
Because we’re the first ones to tell you not to trust blindly.
Here’s what we offer instead of blind trust:
- ✅ Transparent sourcing (licensed facilities, GMP-certified)
- ✅ Verifiable credentials (Dr. Goel’s CPSO license is public)
- ✅ Direct physician access (email our doctors anytime)
- ✅ 30-day guarantee (if it doesn’t work, you don’t pay)
We don’t want your trust. We want to earn it.
Start with one protocol. See how we operate. Then decide.
Results & Experience
That depends on the compound — but across categories, people report:
- Steadier appetite and energy (GLP-1, NAD⁺)
- Faster recovery and repair (BPC-157, TB-500)
- Clearer focus and mood (nootropics)
- Smoother, firmer skin (bioregulator skincare)
We’ll help you track progress through our check-ins and community — because optimization is a process, not a guess.
Depends on the compound — but here’s what to expect:
GLP-1 (weight loss):
- Week 1-2: Appetite reduction, portion control
- Week 4-8: Measurable weight loss (5-10 lbs)
- Week 12+: Sustained metabolic optimization
BPC-157 (recovery):
- Week 1-2: Reduced inflammation, improved mobility
- Week 4-6: Accelerated tissue repair
- Week 8+: Full protocol completion
NAD⁺ (energy/longevity):
- Week 1-2: Improved energy, mental clarity
- Week 4+: Sustained mitochondrial support
Skincare (tretinoin/peptides):
- Week 2-4: Skin purging (normal), texture improvement
- Week 8-12: Visible reduction in fine lines, firmness
We track progress with you through check-ins and community support.
Possibly — every therapeutic compound has a side-effect profile.
Common, manageable side effects:
GLP-1: Mild nausea (first 1-2 weeks), reduced appetite (that’s the point)
Peptides (BPC-157, TB-500): Rare, typically none (very well-tolerated)
NAD⁺: Possible flushing (mild, temporary)
Tretinoin: Skin purging, dryness (expected, resolves with consistent use)
What makes us different:
- Every product page lists known side effects
- You have direct email access to our physicians if side effects occur
- We adjust dosing or recommend alternatives if needed
No surprises. No guessing. Just real medical support.
