Marcus Hansen

Marcus Hansen is the founder and CEO of PeptideRx, the brand operated by Peptide RX LLC. He built the company in 2026 with a simple goal: make pharmaceutical-grade compounded peptides available with real medical oversight, at the pharmacy wholesale price, with no concierge markup attached.

Marcus previously spent over a decade as CEO of The Drug Rehab Agency, a consulting and marketing firm that worked with some of the largest addiction treatment centers in the United States. After selling that business, he turned to operating telehealth companies directly. He founded Recovery Delivered, which provides nationwide access to DEA-licensed providers prescribing Suboxone for Opioid Use Disorder. In 2025 he launched Cost Plus TRT, a low-cost testosterone replacement therapy service for men. PeptideRx followed in 2026.

The origin of PeptideRx is personal. As a peptide user himself, Marcus saw two problems with the existing market: research-grade peptides came with no medical oversight, and legitimate clinical access came with concierge-clinic pricing that priced most patients out. PeptideRx is his attempt to build the middle path. Patients pay a flat $39 visit fee for a licensed NP or PA to write the script, then pay Optimal Balance Pharmacy directly at wholesale for the medication.

Marcus vetted multiple 503A compounding pharmacies before partnering with Optimal Balance. He chose them because their leadership team is run by a fellow biohacker who treats purity, quality control, and price the same way the patients do. The two companies operate as separate entities with a long-term supply relationship.
