Peptides
72 compounds in this category
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Research interest has grown rapidly, particularly in tissue repair, growth hormone optimization, and immune modulation. Most peptides require subcutaneous injection, though oral and intranasal forms exist for specific compounds.
Caution
Most peptides are classified as research chemicals and are not approved for human use by regulatory agencies. Sourcing, purity, and proper storage (refrigeration, reconstitution) are critical considerations. Always verify third-party testing.
Good to Know
Reconstitution, injection technique, and storage matter. Peptides typically require bacteriostatic water for reconstitution and refrigerated storage after mixing. Subcutaneous injection is the most common route. Half-lives vary significantly between compounds.
