Research peptides

Every compound we stock in Canada, with its sizes, formats and price per milligram so sizes compare directly. All material is supplied for laboratory research only and ships from Canadian stock.

What a research peptide is

A peptide is a short chain of amino acids, shorter than a protein. The compounds on this page are synthetic versions of sequences that appear in biological research, supplied as a lyophilised powder: freeze-dried, sealed under vacuum in a glass vial, stable for years when kept cold and dark.

What separates one supplier from another is not the molecule. It is whether the vial contains what the label says, whether the purity figure refers to the batch you were sent, and whether the claims made about the compound match what has actually been published. Those three things are checkable, and the rest is marketing.

How ordering and shipping works

Stock is held in Canada, so an order moves domestically: no border crossing, no customs hold, no import charge and no brokerage fee appearing a week later. Orders placed before the cut-off are packed the next business day once payment clears, and every parcel is tracked to the door.

Payment is by Interac e-Transfer or cryptocurrency. The details appear as soon as the order is placed and your order reference identifies the payment, so nothing is charged until you send it and we never see or store card details. Crypto orders take 3% off.

Transit is two to five business days depending on province. Lyophilised powder is stable at ambient temperature in transit, which is why these ship without a cold chain and why no cold-chain surcharge applies. Packaging is plain, with the batch number on the vial inside rather than anything on the outside.

Storing what you receive

Sealed vials go cold and dark on arrival: a freezer for anything held long term, a fridge for material in current use. What degrades a lyophilised peptide is light, moisture and repeated temperature cycling, not the journey from us to you, so a vial taken in and out of a freezer daily will fare worse than one that travelled for a week.

Reconstituted material is a different thing from the dry powder and keeps for far less time. Record the date it was mixed alongside the batch number; that pairing is the only thing that lets a result be traced back to the exact material that produced it.

Nasal sprays arrive as a finished solution and take no bacteriostatic water. Capsules are a dry oral format and take none either. Only the lyophilised vials are supplied dry, and those are the only format bacteriostatic water applies to.

Working out concentration

Reconstitution is arithmetic. A vial holds a known mass of peptide; add a known volume of bacteriostatic water and the concentration is the first divided by the second. A 10 mg vial with 2 mL of diluent gives 5 mg/mL, which is the figure every subsequent calculation in a protocol starts from.

Our calculator does that conversion for any vial size and volume, and shows the resulting concentration in mg/mL and mcg/mL along with how long the solution keeps. It is a conversion tool for laboratory record-keeping, not a dosing guide: it does not convert into syringe markings or suggest an amount to use, because nothing here is supplied for use in a person.

What the evidence on these compounds actually looks like

Most research peptides have a literature made up of rodent and cell-culture work, with a handful of small human studies and, occasionally, a controlled trial. That is the honest shape of this field, and it is why every compound page here lists its studies with the model each one used rather than summarising them into a benefit.

Several compounds in this catalogue have no human study at all. Their pages say so in the opening paragraph. A few, such as tirzepatide and semaglutide, correspond to ingredients in authorized Canadian medicines and have large trial records behind the licensed product, which is a different thing from the research material sold here.

What a research peptide costs in Canada

Prices are per vial in Canadian dollars and include the HPLC certificate for the batch you receive. The largest vial is always the best per-milligram rate, and buying 3, 5 or 10 of any vial takes a further 4%, 6% or 8% off.
