Frequently Asked Questions

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally throughout biological systems. In scientific research, peptides are studied for their role in cellular communication, signalling pathways and various biological processes.

Researchers continue to investigate compounds such as GHK-Cu, MOTS-C, BPC-157 and others to better understand their biological properties and mechanisms.

• Avoid excessive heat and direct sunlight.
• Protect products from moisture.
• Minimise repeated temperature fluctuations where possible.

Always follow any product-specific storage information provided.

Reconstitution refers to the process of preparing a lyophilised, freeze-dried peptide using an appropriate sterile diluent in a laboratory setting.

Bacteriostatic water is a sterile diluent commonly used in laboratory environments. It contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol which helps inhibit bacterial growth after opening.

Where available, product listings include purity information and supporting documentation.

Certificates of Analysis may be available upon request for selected products.
