Frequently Asked Questions
The side effects of peptides can depend on the specific type of peptide and the method of consumption. Some common side effects associated with peptides include:
Common side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Gastrointestinal: Nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, Diarrhea/constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal distension, eructation, flatulence, gastroenteritis, GERD, gastritis, lipase increase, amylase
increase - Neurological: Headache, dizziness
- Cardiac: Heart rate increase, Hypotension
- Endocrine: Fatigue, hypoglycemia (diabetic patients), alopecia
- Ophthalmic: Retinal disorder (diabetic patients)
- Skin: redness or pain at injection site
Serious but uncommon reactions include, but are not limited to:
- Thyroid C-cell tumor (animal studies)
- Medullary thyroid cancer
- Hypersensitivity reaction
- Anaphylaxis
- Angioedema
- Acute kidney injury
- Chronic renal failure exacerbation
- Pancreatitis
- Cholelithiasis
- Cholecystitis
- Syncope
Because peptides are natural and synthetic peptides mimic natural peptides, most peptides have relatively mild side effects and are often considered generally safe to consume.
We provide proper storage instructions on each product listing. Generally, store in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Peptides should be refrigerated.
Unless stated otherwise we guarantee a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture with proper storage and handling.
For a more detailed answer, let’s take altitude. Due to the second law of thermodynamics entropy is always increasing. As a result the active chemical molecules of a product are always degrading, albeit slowly. Eventually there will be a measurable decrease in potency. This can take several years with proper handling and storage.
Unfortunately we can’t provide a more precise answer. True shelf life is variable and in most cases little data is available for novel compounds. Shelf life decreases with exposure to heat, moisture, oxygen and sunlight, which can create free radicals and break chemical bonds. Shelf life can be extended by deep freeze (-20°C or -80°C). A powder ingredient in deep freeze could have a shelf life in excess of 10 years with minimal degradation. It is not recommended to store a liquid, oil or solution product at anything below room temperature because this will alter the solubility properties and may precipitate the mixture, rendering it non-uniform and difficult to measure without resuspension.
We provide (1) 30ml bacteriostatic water for reconstitution FREE of charge with qualified orders over $500 USD.
(excludes capsule products and cosmetic peptides)
We DO NOT and cannot sell bacteriostatic water or syringes by law because they are prescription only items.
You can also purchase bac water and other research supplies at www.bacteriostaticwater.com
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
All of our single molecule product purity standard is ≥99% and additive-free.
We verify every batch of every product with the help of accredited independent third party laboratories. The equipment and methods required for each product vary widely. For this reason we work with several specialty labs and PhDs in analytical and organic chemistry to design our analytical methods
Good question. Our primary leverage is volume and industry experience. When we purchase material at large scale we benefit from economies of scale in manufacturing and quality control. Combined with best practices and well developed processes we are able to price competitively while spending more on quality control.
Our prices are derived from operational costs plus a minimum margin that allows us to reinvest in the development of new products. We believe in sustainable business practices, so that we can focus on your needs, your satisfaction and the development of products that create the most value for clients.
Yes. All of our peptides come in a raw lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder form and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, which must be purchased separately.
