Quality documentation
Batch-by-batch lab verification

Each release is matched with quality documentation through a documented verification path. Identity, purity, and composition test results sit on the product page before you buy.

Quality documentation
ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab testing

Every batch is verified by an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory before release. Identity, purity, and documentation travel with the product — not behind a form.

Peptide Research Notes: How to Separate Evidence from Hype

A research-literate guide for reading peptide claims: study type first, human relevance second, buying decision third.

NAD+ Complete Guide: Coenzyme Biology, Decline, and Delivery Routes

NAD+ is not a peptide. It is a dinucleotide coenzyme central to sirtuin biology, DNA-damage repair, and cellular energy. This guide separates the published mechanism from the marketing.

Epitalon (Epithalon): Complete Guide to the Telomerase and Lifespan Research

Epitalon is a four-amino-acid peptide with striking telomerase and lifespan claims. The honest version separates cell and animal results from the human evidence, which is thin and comes largely from one St Petersburg research network.

MOTS-c: Complete Guide to the Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide

MOTS-c is a peptide made from the mitochondrion's own DNA, with a clean mechanism in cells and striking results in mice. The human evidence is much thinner, and it is on the WADA Prohibited List.

SS-31 (Elamipretide): Complete Guide to the Mitochondrial Cardiolipin Peptide

SS-31 (elamipretide) binds cardiolipin on the inner mitochondrial membrane. In September 2025 it became the first FDA-approved mitochondria-targeted peptide — for one narrow, rare-disease indication. Peptyds does not sell it.

Pinealon (EDR) Research Guide: Mechanism and Evidence

Pinealon is a synthetic tripeptide, Glu-Asp-Arg, from the same Khavinson "peptide bioregulator" family as epitalon. Its gene-expression claims, and almost all of its cell, animal and human evidence, come from one Saint Petersburg research network — and Peptyds does not sell it.

FAQs

Questions people ask about this category.

Honest, short answers to the things most shoppers want to know before they buy.

Is NAD+ a peptide?

Strictly, no — NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a dinucleotide coenzyme, not a chain of amino acids. It is often grouped with peptide therapies in clinic menus because the delivery format (subcutaneous or IV) and the longevity-research framing overlap, but biochemically it is a different class of molecule.

Why do clinics use NAD+ injections instead of NAD+ capsules?

Oral NAD+ is poorly absorbed intact, so most oral supplements use precursors — NR (nicotinamide riboside) or NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) — which the body converts to NAD+. Subcutaneous and IV NAD+ bypass first-pass metabolism and produce measurable plasma elevations in published pharmacokinetic work.

Are peptides safe long-term?

Honestly: it depends on the molecule. EMA-approved peptide drugs (semaglutide, tirzepatide, tesamorelin, thymalfasin in some jurisdictions) have multi-year safety datasets. Unapproved research peptides — BPC-157, TB-500, Melanotan II, Epithalon — have limited or no long-term human data.

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.
