How to use

Simple, deliberate steps — not a protocol.

These are practical handling notes. Dosing decisions stay between you and your clinician.

  1. 1

    Reconstitute as directed by your clinician — protocol titration from a low starting dose is essential

  2. 2

    Administer subcutaneously at the agreed site and frequency

  3. 3

    Refrigerate reconstituted vial; follow clinician's usage window guidance

Questions, answered plainly

Everything worth asking before you order.

Shipping, storage, quality, and when to speak to a clinician — without the runaround.

What proof of quality comes with my order?

Every batch ships with a batch code printed on the vial. The matching independent lab report — showing identity, purity, and composition — is linked on the product page and stays on your order page after purchase.

Should I speak to a clinician before using a peptide?

We recommend it — especially if you are pregnant, nursing, managing a medical condition, or combining peptides with prescribed medication. Our product pages are educational. They are not medical advice and they do not replace a conversation with a qualified practitioner.

When will my order ship and arrive?

Orders placed before 14:00 CET Monday–Friday ship the same business day from our European fulfilment centre in The Hague, Netherlands. Standard tracked EU delivery arrives in 2–4 business days; express options are available at checkout.

What does "research only" actually mean on a peptide label?

Research-only means the compound has not been approved by the EMA or any national medicines authority for medical use, and is sold solely for in-vitro and laboratory research. It is not a supplement, a cosmetic, or a medicine, and it carries no claims for human consumption.

How does tirzepatide compare to semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a single GLP-1 receptor agonist; tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, which is associated with larger weight reductions in head-to-head trials — roughly 20–22 percent versus 15 percent over 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-5. Both are EMA-approved as prescription medicines (Wegovy/Ozempic and Mounjaro).

What are the most common side effects of GLP-1 peptides specifically?

Across SUSTAIN, SURPASS, SURMOUNT, and TRIUMPH trials, the dominant adverse events for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort, usually mild-to-moderate and concentrated during dose titration.

What's the difference between a prescription peptide and a research peptide?

A prescription peptide (e.g. Wegovy, Mounjaro, Vyleesi, Zadaxin in the relevant jurisdictions) has been through EMA or national-authority review, carries an authorised indication, and is dispensed by a pharmacy against a script. A research peptide is a reference-grade compound sold for laboratory use only.

How do I reconstitute a lyophilised peptide vial?

Bring both the lyophilised vial and the bacteriostatic water to room temperature, equalise pressure with a sterile vented needle, then inject the solvent slowly down the side of the vial. Swirl gently — never shake — until clear, and refrigerate at 2–8 °C.

How much bacteriostatic water should I add to my peptide vial?

The calculation is peptide mass (mg) ÷ desired concentration (mg/mL) = volume of bacteriostatic water in mL. For example, a 5 mg vial at 1 mg/mL needs 5 mL; at 2 mg/mL, 2.5 mL. Every Peptyds product page carries a suggested reconstitution volume tuned to the vial size.

How long does a reconstituted peptide stay stable in the fridge?

Most lyophilised peptides reconstituted with bacteriostatic water remain stable for 28–30 days at 2–8 °C, protected from light. A handful of short, fragile sequences — Epithalon among them — drop to roughly 14 days. Never freeze a reconstituted vial.

What side effects are most commonly reported across peptide research?

Across published trials and case series, the most frequent reported events are injection-site reactions (redness, induration, transient discomfort), headache, mild nausea, and temporary fatigue. GLP-1 and dual-agonist class peptides add dose-dependent gastrointestinal effects.

Who should not use peptides?

Peptides are not appropriate for anyone who is pregnant, nursing, planning conception, under 18, managing active cancer, or on immunosuppressants — and competitive athletes governed by WADA must avoid every peptide on the prohibited list. Anyone with a personal or family history of melanoma should specifically avoid melanocortin-receptor agonists.
