What real South Africans are saying about Clarve.
Individual experiences vary.
A doctor phoned me soon after I paid.
I paid for my consultation and a doctor phoned me soon after. The doctor was professional and took the time to explain what they thought was best for me.
My order arrived within 2 days.
This isn't something you normally order online, so I expected delivery to take a while. I was delighted when my order arrived within 2 days.
I thought it was a scam until I spoke to support.
At first I thought this was a scam. I chatted to the support team, they answered all my questions, and they helped me book my doctor consultation. I'm really happy with the whole experience.
I didn't think this was legal, until I read how it works.
I didn't think this could be legal, so I was sceptical. After reading the website it started to make sense. I did the quiz but didn't book straight away. Then a few emails explained how it all works, and that convinced me to book a consultation. I'm glad I did.
Catching every cold and flu going around, and taking longer to get better? This might be for you.
When the cells in your immune system that fight infection are not working well, you get sick more often, and each cold or flu takes longer to get over.
01
You keep getting sick
You catch most of the colds and flu going around, and each one takes longer to get over than it did a few years ago.
02
Your GP couldn't help
You asked your GP about immune peptides and got a blank look or a flat no. Most GPs do not work with peptides, so they say no, and that leaves you stuck.
03
Vitamins and immune powders didn't help
You have spent money on vitamins and immune powders, and you still get sick just as often. What you want now is a real medicine that a doctor has checked is right for you.
When the cells that fight infection are not working well, you get sick more often. Thymosin alpha-1 may help those cells work better.
Thymosin alpha-1 is a small protein your body already makes in the thymus, a gland in your chest that helps build your immune system. It may help your body make more of the cells that fight infection, and help those cells work better. It is used as a medicine in many countries.
A registered South African doctor decides at your R99 consult whether it suits you, based on your health history.

Thymosin Alpha-1the Clarve peptide with the most human trials behind it.
Thymosin alpha-1 is a small protein your thymus gland already makes to help build your immune system. It is used as a medicine in many countries, and it may help the cells that fight infection work better.
How it works
- It may help your body make more of the cells that fight infection, and help them work better.
- It acts on several kinds of infection-fighting cells, so it may help balance your immune system instead of just making it more active.
- It is used as a medicine in many countries, and it has been tested in large human trials in people with serious illnesses.
Is it for you?
For you if
- People who feel run down and seem to catch every bug going around
- People who want their immune system to keep working well as they get older
- Anyone who wants a medicine prescribed by a doctor and made from lab-tested ingredients, instead of another supplement
Not the right fit if
- People with an autoimmune condition (where the immune system attacks your own body), unless their specialist says it is okay
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Anyone who expects it to stop them from ever getting sick again. It may help your immune system work better, but you can still catch a cold
Dose & protocol
Your doctor decides how much you take, and for how long, at your R99 consult, based on your health history. We do not list one dose for everyone, because the right dose is different for each person.
You know who checked you, who made it, and what is in it.
A doctor who knows peptides
A registered South African doctor reviews your history and decides whether a peptide is even appropriate for you. If it isn't, they will tell you straight.
Made in Clarve's own licensed pharmacy
Clarve has its own licensed compounding pharmacy in Johannesburg. We make your medicine to your doctor's prescription, with your name on it.
Every ingredient is lab-tested
You cannot tell what is inside a medicine just by looking at it. That is why we only use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, the standard a prescription medicine needs, and each one is tested in a lab to check it is at least 98% pure before we make your medicine.
Decided by a registered doctor, not a checkout button.
Before anything is prescribed or made, a registered South African doctor looks at your health history and what you want help with, and decides whether a peptide is safe and suitable for you. If it is not, they tell you why and what to do instead.
Registered SA doctorsRegistered with the HPCSA, the council for doctorsA doctor reads your health history firstOnly sent with a valid prescription
Peptides bought without a prescription have no doctor and no lab test behind them.
Most people in South Africa get peptides from someone at the gym, a friend or a seller on WhatsApp. Nobody checks what is inside, or whether it suits them. Compare that with a doctor and a licensed pharmacy.
| Without a prescription Unlicensed sellers | With a Clarve doctor Clarve | |
|---|---|---|
| Who decides if it is right for you | No one. The seller just takes your money. | A registered SA doctor, before any order. |
| What is actually in it | No one has tested it, so the dose could be wrong or it could be contaminated. | Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, lab-tested to at least 98% purity. |
| Is it legal? | Usually an unregistered medicine sold with no prescription, and parcels from overseas can be seized. | Yes. A registered doctor prescribes it and a licensed pharmacy makes it. |
| If you get side effects or have questions | You are on your own. | You can contact your doctor during your treatment. |
| Who made it | An unknown lab, often overseas, with no way to trace it. | Clarve’s own licensed pharmacy in Johannesburg, checked by a pharmacist. |

Thymosin alpha-1 is a small protein your thymus gland already makes to help build your immune system. It may help the cells that fight infection work better. It is used as a medicine in many countries, mostly for people with serious illnesses.
It may help your body make more of the cells that fight infection, and help those cells work better. Your doctor decides at your R99 consult whether it suits you.
Yes. Of all the peptides Clarve offers, this one has the most human research behind it. It is approved as a medicine in many countries and has been tested in large human trials in people with serious illnesses. Because those trials were in people who were ill, your doctor will tell you honestly what it may and may not do for you.
No medicine can stop you from ever getting sick. Thymosin alpha-1 may help the cells that fight infection work better, and your doctor decides at your R99 consult whether it suits you.
Thymosin alpha-1 has the best safety record of all Clarve’s peptides, because many people have used it as a medicine for many years. It is still a prescription medicine, so a doctor checks your health history first, especially if you have an autoimmune condition, where the immune system attacks your own body.
Yes, when a registered South African doctor prescribes it and a licensed pharmacy makes it. It is not a registered medicine, so nobody can legally sell it to you without a prescription. Clarve gives you both the doctor and the licensed pharmacy.
If you buy peptides without a prescription, you usually cannot know, because nobody has tested what is inside. With Clarve, your medicine is made in our own licensed pharmacy from pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, and each ingredient is tested in a lab to check it is at least 98% pure.
Because the price pays for a registered doctor, a valid prescription, a licensed pharmacy, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients that are tested in a lab, and a doctor you can contact if anything feels wrong. Vitamins and immune powders from the shop come with none of that.
Then they tell you why, and what you can do instead. In that case the R99 consult fee is the only thing you pay. You are never charged for a therapy the doctor did not prescribe.
Yes. It is a small injection just under the skin, with a needle much thinner than the one used for a blood test. Your doctor sets how much you take and for how long at the consult, and you get clear instructions.
R99 is the consult, not the medicine.
R99 is the consultation fee only. It buys a registered doctor's time and judgement, not the therapy. If the doctor decides peptide therapy is not right for you, they tell you why and what to do instead. Therapy, if it is prescribed, is quoted separately so you always know what you are paying for.
