Our Expanded Research Catalogue: 14 New Compounds and What Each Is Studied For

A bigger catalogue, organised by what you are actually studying

We have added fourteen research compounds, and rather than list them alphabetically, this guide groups them by the question a lab is usually trying to answer. Everything below is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. Each name links to its product page, and where handling detail exists, to its notes in the research library and a side-by-side comparison.

Growth-hormone research

Ipamorelin is the clean, selective secretagogue researchers reach for when they want a growth-hormone signal without the cortisol and appetite noise of older peptides. Its usual partner is CJC-1295 (No DAC) — also searched as Modified GRF 1-29 — which works through a separate receptor, which is why the two are studied together far more than against each other. We lay that out in Ipamorelin vs CJC-1295 (No DAC).

Downstream of all of this sits IGF-1, the native growth factor the body makes after growth hormone acts. It behaves like a folded protein rather than a simple peptide, and if you are weighing the native form against the long-acting analogue, IGF-1 vs IGF-1 LR3 explains why that distinction changes everything about handling.

Tissue repair and recovery

The Wolverine Stack puts the two most-studied repair peptides — BPC-157 and TB-500 — in a single vial. It is not more BPC-157; it is BPC-157 with a second, complementary mechanism added, as BPC-157 vs the Wolverine Stack makes clear. Alongside it, KPV is a tiny three-part fragment of alpha-MSH studied for calming inflammation in gut and skin models.

Metabolic and mitochondrial

5-Amino-1MQ is the one item here that is not a peptide at all — a small molecule studied for blocking the enzyme NNMT, a name that comes up constantly in metabolism and NAD+ research. Working at the cell's power plant, SS-31 (Elamipretide) binds a lipid found only in the inner mitochondrial membrane; if you are comparing approaches to the mitochondrion, MOTS-c vs SS-31 is the pairing to read.

Immune, reproductive, nerve and cosmetic

Thymosin Alpha-1 is one of the most-studied immune-signalling peptides, examined for T-cell maturation and infection response. Kisspeptin sits at the very top of the reproductive axis, studied around fertility and the hormone cascade. ARA 290 is an EPO-derived peptide studied for nerve comfort and inflammation, SNAP-8 is a topical cosmetic peptide studied for expression lines, and PNC-27 is a strictly in-vitro compound studied in cancer-cell research.

Check any of these before you order

Every batch ships with a certificate of analysis you can verify by batch number, and the handling notes for each compound — storage, reconstitution, stability — live in the research library. If you are new to any of this, the reconstitution calculator turns a target concentration into a solvent volume in one step.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose between similar compounds in the catalogue?

Start with the research question rather than the compound. Several pairs look interchangeable and are not — IGF-1 versus IGF-1 LR3 and CJC-1295 with versus without DAC are the two that cause the most ordering errors.

How do I verify what I received?

Every batch is independently tested by HPLC for purity and LC-MS for identity. Enter your lot number on the verification page to read the certificate of analysis for your exact vial, or browse all published results.

How long does shipping take within Canada?

Orders ship from Vancouver, BC — typically 2 to 5 business days, tracked and insured in discreet packaging. Nothing crosses a border, so there is no customs clearance or seizure risk.
