FAQ
Clear answers to the most common questions about peptides.
What is a peptide?
A peptide is a short chain of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). The body uses peptides as messengers to regulate functions such as growth, tissue repair, metabolism or sleep.
How are they administered?
Most are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) with an insulin syringe. Some are applied nasally (spray) or topically (cream), depending on the peptide. We indicate the route on each profile.
Do the injections hurt?
Subcutaneous injections with an insulin needle are very thin and are usually almost painless. Rotating the injection site helps avoid discomfort.
Do they need to be kept cold?
Yes. They are generally stored in the fridge, and some in the freezer for the long term. Details are in the Storage guide.
How do I know the exact dose in the syringe?
It depends on how much water you used when reconstituting. We explain it with examples in the Dosage calculation guide.
Can several peptides be combined?
Yes, some complement each other. The most common combinations are in the Blends guide.
