BPC-157 is a synthetic peptide taken from a naturally occurring protein in the stomach. It has been of tremendous interest to many researchers over the years because of its ability to boost healing in a wide variety of tissue types, including muscles, tendons, and even elements of the nervous system. It belongs to a group […]

An Introduction to Peptides and Amino Acids You’ve likely come across the terms peptides and amino acids, but what exactly are they? Both are essential to how our bodies function and hold great value in scientific research. In this guide, we’ll explore what these compounds are, why they matter in research, and where they’re being […]

Retatrutide is a new treatment compound that is designed to manage metabolic disease. As a peptide drug, it specially targets multiple pathways involved in metabolic regulation and therefore is of particular interest to diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes.   What is remarkable about Retatrutide is that it can stimulate three receptors at once: GLP-1, […]

Peptides occur naturally in the body and have some effect on the cells of the body. Recently, several improvements have been made to increase the potency and efficacy of peptides. One of the many that has gained plenty of attention is the AOD 9604 peptide. What is AOD 9604 Peptide? The modern world has gladly […]

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall The everlasting search for the best products and ingredients in the skincare industry has brought us to peptides. Since the word has gotten out that peptides might offer our skin everything that makes it fresh and youthful, they can be found in any cosmetic product related to skin health and […]

If you are wondering what the future holds for peptide drugs, with new research data emerging daily, read on to understand why peptides are here to stay.  What are Peptides? Generally, peptides are short chains (fewer than 50) of amino acids. They are selective signaling molecules that bind to specific cell surface receptors and trigger […]

We live in an age where peptides are valuable resources that seem to affect well-being and quality of life to a great extent. Since peptides gained popularity, Tesamorelin and Sermorelin have become almost inseparable components of many lifestyle and wellness industries being researched for their benefits.   Their potential impact on general well-being is normally connected […]

Peptides are super powerful molecules that bind specific cell surface receptors and trigger a chain of effects inside the cells. Since they naturally exist, peptides are generally safe and well-tolerated in clinical trials while still being effective and predictable when processed. This explains the recent interest in developing both therapeutic and research peptides. So, let’s […]

In recent times we’re witnessing a proper boom in weight loss medication. Even though there are a lot of viable, FDA-approved options, scientists continue to work on new, more effective, and less harmful ones. When it comes to weight loss and diabetes battling peptides, first came semaglutide. According to many studies, Semaglutide was the undisputed […]

In today’s article, we’re going to be analyzing a study on the effectiveness of GLP-1 on patients with type 2 diabetes.  Study highlights: Introduction – Diabetes Epidemic Diabetes quickly rose to the status of a global epidemic, affecting 476 million people in total; of these 476, 463 million have type 2 type diabetes. Of course, […]

In some circles people might use the terms “peptides” and “SARMs” interchangeably, but, even though they might share some similar actions, they are very different. Peptides and SARMs are two of the most talked-about supplements these days and for a reason! But do you know what they are and what the difference between them is? […]

Before we talk more about peptides showing up on a drug test, we need to make it clear that peptides we’re selling on Peptide.Shop are for lab research only. We do not condone nor encourage the use of peptides without medical supervision or outside of the prescribed therapy. Back to the topic at hand… in […]

Just like any other substance, peptides are also susceptible to degradation, deterioration, especially when not stored carefully. Luckily for you, we’ve created an entire article going in-depth on proper peptide storage, which you should read before ordering larger (or smaller) quantities of both lyophilized and reconstituted peptides.  Powder Form Lyophilized peptides, or peptides in a […]

When talking about peptide reconstitution, we first need to explain why we need to reconstitute them in the first place.  Most peptides come in so-called lyophilized form. We already talked about peptide forms when we talked about how to store and handle peptides properly, so we won’t go into too many details. Basically, this is […]

Proper storage is essential for both maintaining the integrity of peptides and ensuring the credibility of the lab results, since this is why our peptides are primarily used. Storing Lyophilized Peptides Most peptides (including those currently sold on our website) come in a lyophilized state. Lyophilization is a process of preserving material through water removal. […]

In one of our previous articles, we briefly touched on the differences between peptides and proteins. Even though they are basically built up of the same building blocks (amino acids), we can generally say that peptides differ from proteins in that they are shorter (peptides usually come in chains of 2-50 amino acids), and have […]

According to the Mordor Intelligence research, the cosmeceutical market as a whole is expected to grow 8.24% YoY (year over year) and hit $18 billion in turnover in 2024 alone. With such figures, it’s not at all surprising that new formulas and mixtures are being concocted daily; not only that, the market is “demanding” new, […]

There’s always been a steady growth in peptide popularity, especially in the US. But, with the recent development, the emergence of internet pharmacies and scientific studies, the demand for these tiny amino acid strings reached new heights.  Of course, with popularity comes a lot of attention and many people are starting to wonder what’s the […]

A peptide is a short string of amino acids, 2 to 50 long. Peptide molecules are joined by a condensation reaction (a reaction that joins two molecules into one) through a covalent bond (a bond in which the joining atoms share electrons). Such subsequent covalent bonds form peptide chains and are the building blocks of […]

We get many inquiries from people asking us all sorts of questions about peptides; one that keeps popping up is the similarity with steroids. So, let’s first set things straight – peptides are not steroids. There are differences in structure (since peptides are peptide-derived hormones while steroids are lipid-derived) and in the mechanism of action […]

Though low libido (and overall sex drive) can be one of the more frustrating things to deal with in your life (and relationship), surprisingly, it’s one of the most common ones, affecting 1 in every 5 men (it is estimated that the number in women is even greater).  But why does this happen? On the […]
