Research Peptides FAQ

BPC-157 is studied for tendon and ligament healing, gastrointestinal repair, and systemic anti-inflammatory effects. It modulates multiple growth factors simultaneously including VEGF, FGF, and EGF. Shop BPC-157

Gut healing: 250-500 mcg twice daily for 4-6 weeks. Soft tissue repair: 200-400 mcg once daily for 2-4 weeks. Systemic recovery: 250 mcg daily for 4-8 weeks. Always follow your institution's approved research protocol.

Use 2-3mL sterile bacteriostatic water. Gently swirl — do not shake. 5mg/2mL = 250mcg per 0.1mL. Store at 2-8C and use within 7-14 days. Full reconstitution guide

Yes, BPC-157 is legal to purchase for legitimate research purposes in Australia. It is not a scheduled substance when intended for research use only. All Element42 sales are strictly for research — not for human consumption.

Every batch is sent to an independent lab for HPLC and Mass Spectrometry. COAs confirming 99%+ purity are published on each product page. View BPC-157 COA

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) sequesters G-actin to modulate cytoskeletal dynamics, upregulates MMP-2 for ECM remodelling, and promotes angiogenesis via VEGF and KGF. Shop TB-500

TB-500 is studied in muscle repair, tendon/ligament healing, cardiac ischaemia models, wound healing, and corneal repair. Loading: 5-20 mg/week divided across 2 injections. Maintenance: 2.5-5 mg every 2 weeks.

Yes, TB-500 is legal to purchase for legitimate research purposes in Australia. All sales are strictly for laboratory research — not for human or veterinary consumption.

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide that activates over 300 human genes involved in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defence, tissue repair, and anti-aging. Found naturally in human plasma. Shop Glow blend

Add 2mL bacteriostatic water to the 10/10/100mg vial. BPC-157 component: 250-500 mcg. TB-500: 5-10 mg/week. GHK-Cu: 1-3 mg/day. Refrigerate at 2-8C, use within 7-14 days.

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4-10) that upregulates BDNF and modulates dopaminergic/serotonergic systems. Intranasal is the standard route at 300-600 mcg, 1-2 times daily. Shop Semax

Yes. Russian clinical trials studied Semax for stroke recovery and cognitive impairment. Intranasal administration (300-600 mcg, 1-2x daily) is standard. Some protocols use up to 1200 mcg/day.

Selank enhances GABA-A receptor function through an alternative mechanism to benzodiazepines. It modulates serotonin/dopamine turnover and upregulates BDNF. Anxiolytic effects without sedation or withdrawal. Shop Selank

Unlike benzodiazepines (which can cause sedation, tolerance, and withdrawal), Selank-enhanced GABAergic transmission shows anxiolytic effects without sedation, muscle relaxation, cognitive impairment, or withdrawal syndrome in animal models.

Yes. Both Semax and Selank are legal to purchase for legitimate research purposes in Australia. Neither is a scheduled substance when intended for laboratory research use only.

NAD+ is a central coenzyme in cellular metabolism and DNA repair. Research focuses on NAD+ decline with age and its role in mitochondrial function, sirtuin activation, and genomic stability. Shop NAD+

NAD+ levels decline due to increased activity of NAD+-consuming enzymes (PARPs, CD38, SARM1) and reduced biosynthesis — core hallmarks of aging biology affecting mitochondrial function and cellular repair.

IV: 250mg-1g over 2-8 hours (max bioavailability). SQ/IM: 50-100mg per dose. NAD+ in solution degrades rapidly use within 24-48 hours. Store lyophilized at -20C for long-term stability.

Retatrutide is a triple GIP/GLP-1/glucagon agonist. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist. Retatrutide's glucagon activation drives thermogenesis TRIUMPH-2 showed 24.2% weight reduction at 48 weeks. Shop Retatrutide

Yes. Retatrutide is legal for research purposes in Australia and is not a scheduled substance when intended for laboratory use only. Read the full guide: Retatrutide Research Guide

Tirzepatide is currently out of stock. Retatrutide is our in-stock alternative with a broader triple agonist mechanism. Shop Retatrutide

Our Retatrutide tested at 99.315% purity by Janoshik Analytical (COA dated Jul 2025). Full HPLC and MS results available on the Lab Results page. View product
