Everything sold in this shop is research material. It is not a medicine, it is not approved for human use, and nothing on this site is medical advice or an encouragement to use any substance. This page sets out what that means in practice, and what you are responsible for checking before you order.
What “research material” means
It means the product is sold for laboratory work, not for use in people. It has not passed the manufacturing, testing and release process required of a medicinal product, and its labelling does not change the legal status of the substance inside the vial.
A molecule sold this way can still be a registered medicine elsewhere. Semaglutide, tirzepatide and chorionic gonadotropin are active substances of prescription medicines. Bremelanotide is approved in the United States under the name Vyleesi. Buying the same molecule as research material does not give you the registered product, the dose established for it, or the quality control behind it.
Legal status differs by country and by molecule
There is no single answer to whether “peptides are legal”. Some are prescription medicines. Some are unapproved substances sold as reagents. Some are prohibited in sport regardless of their legal status.
Two criteria decide whether a substance is treated as a medicinal product in the European Union: presentation and function. A peptide sold strictly as a reagent, with no claims of treating or preventing disease, generally does not meet the presentation criterion. The same peptide presented as an alternative to a registered drug does, and falls under medicinal product rules including the ban on advertising.
Before you order, check the rules that apply where you live. Import rules differ between countries, and a shipment that is lawful to send from Poland may not be lawful to receive elsewhere. That check is yours to make; we cannot make it for you.
Prohibited in sport
Many molecules in this catalogue are on the World Anti-Doping Agency prohibited list, in and out of competition. BPC-157 and TB-500 are prohibited at all times. Growth hormone secretagogues and GHRH analogues sit in category S2, as does IGF-1 LR3. Chorionic gonadotropin is named in section S2.2.1, which applies to men.
A sanction does not require a positive test. Anti-doping rule violations can be established from possession, purchase records or an admission. If you compete under anti-doping control, check the current list before you order anything from this shop.
What we do not provide
- We do not give dosing schedules, cycle lengths or administration protocols. Where a number appears in our texts, it comes from a drug label or a published trial and is described as such.
- We do not claim that a molecule treats, prevents or cures anything.
- We do not present animal data as though it were human data. Our guides say which is which.
- We do not advise on combining substances, and we do not comment on prescription medicines you may be taking.
Quality and safety of the product itself
Independent analyses of research peptides sold online have found endotoxins, truncated peptide chains, heavy metals and mislabelled contents. This is not a hypothetical risk and it is the reason we publish verification instructions rather than assurances. Check the code under the hologram and the certificate of analysis, as described on the page about checking your product.
Store vials out of reach of children and other people, and handle them according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Practical handling is covered in reconstituting a peptide and storing peptides.
Medical consultation
If you are considering any of these substances in a context involving a person, consult a doctor first, particularly with a chronic condition or other medications. That advice sits here rather than in a disclaimer at the bottom, because it is the part of this page that matters most.
Frequently asked questions
Is it legal for me to order from you?
That depends on your country and on the molecule. Some of these substances are prescription medicines in the European Union; others are unapproved reagents. Check the rules where you live before ordering.
Does “for research use” make a substance legal?
No. The label does not change the legal status of the substance, and it gives you no guarantee of composition, purity or safety.
Can I use these products if I compete in sport?
Many of them are prohibited at all times, and a sanction can follow without a positive test. Check the current World Anti-Doping Agency list before ordering.
Why do you not publish dosing instructions?
Because these are not products for human use, and no safe human dose has been established for most of them. Where a dose appears in our texts, it comes from a drug label or a published trial.
