Educational writing on research peptides, testing methodology, and compound-specific overviews. All research-framed, never prescriptive.
You've requested a Certificate of Analysis for your peptide order — now what? Here's a practical guide to understanding what the numbers actually mean. The two key tests Most peptide purity reports include results from two primary analytical methods: HPLC and mass spectrometry. Together, they answer two fundamental questions: HPLC: Measuring purity What it is […]
GHK-Cu is one of the most extensively studied peptides in skin science. Here's what researchers have found and why it continues to generate interest. What is GHK-Cu? GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper peptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It was first identified in the 1970s by Dr Loren Pickart, who […]
NAD+ has become one of the most talked-about molecules in ageing research. Here's a grounded look at what scientists have found so far. What is NAD+? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a coenzyme found in every living cell. It plays a central role in two critical biological processes: The ageing connection Research has consistently shown […]
CJC-1295 is one of the most popular growth hormone releasing peptides in research. But there are multiple variants — and understanding the differences matters. What is CJC-1295? CJC-1295 is a synthetic analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). It stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH) in a pulsatile manner, mimicking the body's […]
If you're sourcing research peptides, a Certificate of Analysis is one of the most important documents you can request. Here's how to read one and why it matters. What is a Certificate of Analysis? A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document issued by an independent laboratory that confirms the identity, purity, and quality of […]
Proper storage and reconstitution are essential for maintaining peptide integrity in research settings. Here's a straightforward guide. Why storage matters Peptides are biological molecules that degrade when exposed to heat, moisture, light, and bacterial contamination. Incorrect storage can reduce purity, alter structure, and compromise research results. A few simple precautions go a long way. Storing […]
BPC-157 is one of the most widely studied peptides in the recovery and tissue repair space. Here's what the research tells us. What is BPC-157? BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic peptide derived from a naturally occurring protein found in human gastric juice. It consists of 15 amino acids and has been the subject […]
Research peptides are generating serious interest across the scientific community — but what exactly are they, and why are researchers paying attention? Peptides 101 Peptides are short chains of amino acids, typically ranging from 2 to 50 amino acids in length. They're essentially smaller versions of proteins, and they play critical roles in nearly every […]
