VSSI Bio Performance Peptide Therapy

What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules throughout the body. Naturally occurring peptides are involved in numerous physiological processes, including metabolism, cellular signaling, appetite regulation, endocrine function, and tissue regulation.


Peptide-based therapies may be considered as part of an individualized health and performance strategy when clinically appropriate. When peptide therapy is recommended, prescriptions are provided by a licensed physician based on the individual's health history, goals, laboratory findings, and clinical evaluation.


Peptides are not a replacement for appropriate nutrition, exercise, rehabilitation, sleep, recovery, or medical care. VSSI Bio Performance brings these components together.

Optimize Recovery. Performance. Health.

At Virginia Sport & Spine Institute, we have always focused on helping our patients and athletes move better, recover better, and perform at their highest level.


VSSI Bio Performance expands that approach by combining advanced laboratory testing, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and physician-prescribed peptide therapy to create a more individualized approach to health and human performance.


Our philosophy is simple: We don't start with the peptide. We start with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need blood work before scheduling?

No. We recommend starting with a consultation so we can determine what laboratory testing, if any, is appropriate. If you have recent blood work, bring those results with you.

Can I request a specific peptide?

Yes. If you have questions about a particular therapy, we can discuss them during your consultation. Requesting a particular peptide does not necessarily mean that it will be recommended or prescribed.

Who prescribes my peptides?

All peptide prescriptions offered through the VSSI Bio Performance program are prescribed by a licensed physician when determined to be medically appropriate. Your VSSI team helps coordinate the assessment, laboratory testing, education, and ongoing monitoring associated with your individualized program.

Can my consultation be virtual?

Yes. Many initial consultations and follow-up appointments can be performed virtually. Certain medical histories, findings, or treatments may require an in-person evaluation.

How long does a peptide protocol last?

It depends on the therapy, individual goals, response, and medical recommendations. Your anticipated treatment duration and monitoring schedule will be discussed before beginning therapy.

Does VSSI Bio Performance replace my primary-care physician?

No. VSSI Bio Performance is designed to complement appropriate primary and specialty medical care - not replace it.
