Choose Your Research Focus
Explore our research categories to find the right peptides for your goals.
Weight Management
GLP-1 receptor agonists and metabolic peptides for body composition research. These compounds modulate appetite signaling, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic rate through precisely targeted receptor pathways.
Growth Hormone
Optimize natural GH secretion for recovery, body composition, and vitality. Secretagogue peptides work with the body's own GHRH and ghrelin pathways to stimulate endogenous GH release.
Energy & Performance
Boost cellular energy, athletic output, and overall vitality. These compounds optimize mitochondrial function, support antioxidant defense, and enhance cellular bioenergetics.

Follow these 8 steps for proper reconstitution every time.
Gather Your Supplies
Peptide vial, bacteriostatic water, insulin syringe (29-31g), and alcohol swabs. Ensure a clean workspace.
Sterilize Vial Tops
Wipe the rubber stoppers of both the peptide vial and BAC water vial with alcohol swabs. Let dry for 10 seconds.
Draw Bacteriostatic Water
Draw the appropriate amount of BAC water into the syringe. Check the protocol table above for the correct volume per compound.
Insert at 45° Angle
Insert the needle into the peptide vial at a 45-degree angle, aiming for the glass wall rather than the center of the lyophilized cake.
Inject Water Slowly
Slowly inject the BAC water down the inside wall of the vial. Never spray directly onto the powder — this can damage the peptide structure.
Swirl Gently
Remove the syringe and gently swirl the vial in a circular motion. Never shake vigorously — this can denature the peptide chains.
Verify Clarity
The reconstituted solution should be completely clear and colorless. If it appears cloudy, contains particles, or is discolored, do not use.
Refrigerate Immediately
Store the reconstituted peptide in the refrigerator at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Label the vial with the date of reconstitution.
Pro Tips
- Always use bacteriostatic water (not sterile water) for multi-use reconstitution — the benzyl alcohol preserves sterility.
- Pre-chill the BAC water to refrigerator temperature for easier dissolution of stubborn lyophilized cakes.
- If the powder does not dissolve within 5 minutes of gentle swirling, refrigerate for 30 minutes and try again.
- Label each vial with the compound name, concentration, and reconstitution date.
Subcutaneous Injection Technique
A quick-reference guide for proper subcutaneous administration.
Draw Your Dose
Using a fresh insulin syringe, draw the calculated dose from the reconstituted vial. Pull slightly past your target volume, then push back to remove air bubbles.
Clean the Site
Swab the injection site with an alcohol pad in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward. Allow to fully dry.
Pinch the Skin
Pinch a fold of skin at the injection site — abdomen (1 inch from navel), thigh (front/outer), or upper arm (back). This isolates the subcutaneous layer.
Insert & Inject
Insert the needle at a 45-degree angle into the pinched skin fold. Inject the solution slowly and steadily over 5-10 seconds.
Withdraw & Dispose
Release the skin fold, withdraw the needle smoothly, and apply light pressure with a clean swab. Dispose of the syringe in a sharps container.

Safety Reminder
Always use a new, sterile syringe for each injection. Never share needles or reuse syringes. Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy. Dispose of all sharps in a proper sharps container.
Storage & Handling
Proper storage ensures maximum potency and shelf life for your research compounds.
Unreconstituted Peptides
Room temperature acceptable for short-term (weeks). Refrigerator extends shelf life.
Reconstituted Peptides
Never freeze reconstituted peptides. Keep the vial upright and away from light.
Bacteriostatic Water
Multi-use vial. Always sterilize the stopper before drawing. Discard after 28 days.
General Handling
UV light degrades peptide bonds. Store in original packaging or amber vials when possible.

Getting Started Questions
Answers to the most common questions from new researchers.
At minimum you need: your chosen research peptide, bacteriostatic water (BAC water), insulin syringes (29-31 gauge), and alcohol swabs. We carry bacteriostatic water and supply kits in our shop.
Start by identifying your primary research focus (recovery, weight management, longevity, etc.) and review the category section above. Our free consultation form at the bottom of this page lets our team recommend a personalized protocol based on your specific objectives.
Yes — many protocols involve stacking complementary compounds. Classic stacks include BPC-157 + TB-500 for recovery, CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin for GH optimization, and MOTS-c + NAD+ for longevity. See each protocol's "Stacks With" field for recommended combinations.
Timelines vary by compound and protocol. Recovery peptides like BPC-157 may show measurable effects within 2-3 weeks. GLP-1 agonists require 4-8 weeks with proper titration. Longevity protocols like Epithalon are designed for cyclical use over months. Consistency is key.
No. Once reconstituted, peptides must be refrigerated at 2-8°C and used within 4-6 weeks (compound dependent). Unreconstituted (lyophilized) peptides are stable at room temperature short-term, but long-term storage should be at -20°C.
