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 […]

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 […]
