A plain-language reference for what each compound in our catalog is studied for. This is background reading for research use, not medical or dosing advice — see the research-use disclaimer.
Weight & Metabolism
Retatrutide is a synthetic triple agonist. Published work focuses on appetite suppression, gastric emptying rate and resting energy expenditure. It is the newest of the incretin-class compounds and the least characterised long-term. We publish the reconstitution math for 20 mg in 2 mL so your concentration calculations are not guesswork.
Semaglutide research concentrates on GLP-1 receptor activation: slowed gastric emptying, increased satiety signaling and glucose-dependent insulin release. It's the best-characterized compound in this category, with the deepest published literature of anything we carry.
Published work compares tirzepatide's dual-receptor activity against single-agonist compounds, with most endpoints focused on food intake, body-weight change models and insulin sensitivity.
Healing & Recovery
BPC-157 research concentrates on gut-lining and tendon/ligament repair models; TB-500 research focuses on actin regulation and tissue regeneration. Combined-protocol studies look at whether pairing them changes recovery timelines versus either compound alone.
Skin, Beauty & Anti-aging
Published research focuses on skin remodeling, wound-healing acceleration and hair-follicle studies, driven by GHK-Cu's role in signaling tissue repair.
Same mechanisms as the Wolverine blend, with GHK-Cu added for its collagen-synthesis and dermal-repair signaling. A common pairing in research examining recovery and skin quality as related endpoints.
Energy & Longevity
Research applications span mitochondrial function assays, sirtuin activation studies and cellular aging models. NAD+ levels are a common biomarker in longevity-focused research.
Studies look at MOTS-c's effect on insulin sensitivity, AMPK activation and mitochondrial function in skeletal-muscle models.
Growth Hormone & Muscle
Research covers GH/IGF-1 axis stimulation and, most notably, visceral fat reduction — the endpoint behind its approved indication.
Reconstitution & storage, in general
Lyophilized peptides ship as a freeze-dried powder and are brought into solution with bacteriostatic water immediately before use. Add the diluent slowly, down the side of the vial rather than directly onto the powder, to avoid denaturing the peptide.
Store unopened lyophilized vials at -20°C, away from light. Once reconstituted, keep the vial refrigerated (2–8°C) and treat the additional shelf life as roughly 14–30 days depending on the compound — see the “Handling & storage” table on each product page for specifics.
Every batch we sell ships with a linked test report. Match the batch code on that report to the one printed on your vial before use.
