Frequently asked Questions

A peptide is a group of two or more amino acids attached by a peptide bond. Amino acids are known as the building blocks of protein and play a crucial role in many of your body’s natural functions including stimulating hormonal activity or repairing damage to the body. Although they are produced naturally by our bodies, they can also be derived from animal or plant sources or be manufactured synthetically.

Peptides should be stored in a place away from direct heat and sunlight, we recommend that you store them in the fridge.

All of our peptides are sold in various sizes of vials of lyophilized powder.

We sell bacteriostatic water for your convenience so you may reconstitute your peptides once received, you may of course choose to purchase your own.

Peptides vary in the degree to which they are soluble in bacteriostatic water. This is especially true of ones which contain multiple hydrophobic amino acid residues. If you have difficulties in dissolving the peptide, we recommend you use a small quantity of dilute (approximately 10%) of aqueous acetic acid for basic peptides or aqueous ammonia for acidic peptides. The addition of these liquids should improve the dissolution of the peptide.

Yes, absolutely. We stand by the quality of all our products and strongly urge you to have them tested by any impartial third party laboratory. Tests which can be carried out include mass-spec, AAA, Maldimass and HPLC.

During the lyophilization process, a nitrogen flush is added to remove any contaminants. This stage of the manufacturing process can affect the appearance of the peptide. Other factors such as the temperature or the leakage of water vapour from the vial can cause the contents to stick to the side of the vial. Although it may not be visible to the human eye, all our vials are filled automatically and contain exactly the same quantity of peptide.

Peptides come in a variety of shapes and sizes due to their nature. Often the ‘cake’ may break during transit. This is normal and doesn’t affect their quality or potency. Also, proteins like LR3 are naturally larger than GRF or GHRP.

Our products are sold on the understanding that they are exclusively for research purposes only. They should never be used for the treatment of any medical condition, deficiency or disease or be added to food for human consumption.

No. The only products we sell are those you can see on our website. These products are peptides for research purposes. Please don’t ask for anything else.
