Evidence-first summaries of the published research on the compounds we supply, how lyophilised peptides are stored, reconstituted and tested in the lab, and how research peptides are regulated in Australia. Every article cites its sources.
A plain-English primer on research peptides: what a peptide is, how peptides are built one amino acid at a time on a resin bead, why they arrive as a freeze-dried powder, and what "research use only" does and does not mean.
A section-by-section guide to reading a peptide certificate of analysis: identity, HPLC purity, net peptide content, counter-ions, water, endotoxin, and the red flags that mean a COA does not check out.
How reverse-phase HPLC and mass spectrometry are used to test peptide purity and identity, how to read a chromatogram and a mass spectrum, and what each method cannot tell you.
A plain-English review of the BPC-157 literature: where the peptide came from, what animal and cell studies reported, why human evidence is so thin, and where it sits under Australian scheduling and anti-doping rules.
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is Eli Lilly's investigational GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon triple agonist. Here is what the phase 1 to phase 3 research reports, and where it stands in September 2026.
TB-500 and thymosin beta-4 are not the same molecule. This overview explains the fragment, the full-length protein most studies used, the thin human data, and the Australian and WADA position.
GHK-Cu is the best-known copper peptide. This overview covers its chemistry, the collagen and wound-model research, the thin and partly negative human evidence, and the names that get confused with it.
PT-141 is the development name for bremelanotide. This overview covers its structure and receptor pharmacology, the clinical trials, exactly what the FDA approved as Vyleesi, and why a research compound is not that medicine.
Tesamorelin is human GHRH(1-44) with an N-terminal hexenoyl group. Here is what the Egrifta approval covers, what the trials reported, and how it is classified in sport.
MOTS-c is a 16-residue peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. Here is what the cell, mouse and human studies report, what is still unknown, and how WADA classifies it.
Semax is a seven-amino-acid ACTH fragment analogue listed as an essential medicine in Russia but not approved in the US or EU. Here is what the rodent and small clinical studies report, and how much weight they can bear.
Selank is a seven-amino-acid analogue of the immune peptide tuftsin, approved in Russia as an anti-anxiety medicine but not in the US or EU. This is what the published studies report, and how far they go.
Delta sleep-inducing peptide was discovered in 1977 and named for the brain waves it seemed to promote in rabbits. Nearly fifty years on, its origin in the body is unresolved and the human evidence is small and inconsistent.
Two peptides that are often mentioned together but have nothing structurally in common. A side-by-side look at where BPC-157 and TB-500 come from, what studies reported, and where each sits under Australian and WADA rules.
Semaglutide targets one receptor, tirzepatide two and retatrutide three. We compare their pharmacology and published trials, and explain why cross-trial numbers mislead.
Semax and Selank share a Russian origin and the same Pro-Gly-Pro tail, but they are built on different parent peptides and studied in different models. Here is how they compare, study by study.
A laboratory guide to storing lyophilised and reconstituted peptides: freezer temperatures, moisture, oxidation-prone residues, light, freeze–thaw cycles and adsorption to containers.
What bacteriostatic water actually contains, how it compares with sterile water, when benzyl alcohol can interfere, and how to reconstitute a lyophilised peptide and calculate stock concentrations.
What the TGA, the June 2026 Poisons Standard, the Therapeutic Goods Act and customs law actually say about peptides, "research use only" labels, importing and advertising in Australia.
Which peptides does the 2026 WADA Prohibited List name, in which section, and what does "not named" really mean? Includes GLP-1 drugs, retatrutide and Sport Integrity Australia.
