Research guides
Long-form, referenced guides to the compound classes we supply — what they are, how they work, what the literature has studied them for, and how to handle them in the lab. Written for researchers, not for consumers.
BPC-157: history, evidence and proposed mechanisms
A pentadecapeptide from gastric juice, three decades of preclinical work from one research group, the mechanisms proposed for it, and what injectable versus oral actually means.
Peptides vs proteins: structure, size and function
Same bond, same building blocks, different molecules. Where the 50-residue line comes from, why folding is the real difference, and how each behaves in the lab.
Mitochondrial health: what the research shows
What declines and why, the assays that actually measure mitochondrial function, and the compounds acting on biogenesis, membrane structure and cofactor supply.
MK-677 (Ibutamoren): what the research shows
An orally active ghrelin receptor agonist with an unusually deep trial record. What it reliably demonstrates in vivo, and the endpoints where it came up short.
What are SARMs? A research guide to selective androgen receptor modulators
How non-steroidal androgen receptor ligands work, what tissue selectivity actually means, and how the class differs from anabolic steroids and from peptides.
What are peptides? A research guide to peptide compounds
Peptide chemistry from the bond up: how peptides signal, the categories that dominate the literature, and the reconstitution and storage practice the class demands.
We publish a new guide as each one is written and reviewed. In the meantime, every batch we supply has its full third-party analysis published.
Every batch is independently tested for purity and identity, individually lot-tracked, and the full report is published before listing.
