mobivIVe is a doctor-led peptide practice delivering treatment nationwide across South Africa. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as precise signals in the body, and are used to support weight loss, energy and longevity, skin and hair, recovery, and healthy ageing. Every programme is prescribed and supervised by a registered doctor, and delivered to your door as an easy-to-use prefilled pen. Below are the main peptide categories we offer, each with a product page and an in-depth guide.
Everything is led by Dr Chris van Zyl (registered as M.C. van Zyl, HPCSA MP0287067), who is licensed to both prescribe and dispense medicines under a Section 22C dispensing licence. Treatment is dispensed on a valid medical script after a questionnaire, with a consultation arranged when your screening calls for one, and always for GLP-1 medicines.
Medical weight loss: GLP-1 peptides
Semaglutide (Ozempic), tirzepatide (Mounjaro) and related medicines for doctor-led weight management. A telephone or virtual consultation is required for every GLP-1 order.
