The Peptide ABC - what you never knew to ask!

Published on 27/06/2023

You and other scientists all over the world have trusted us with your peptide needs for almost 20 years, making us the leading manufacturer of custom peptides and innovative peptide-based products for research and clinical applications.

With our substantial and long-standing expertise in peptide synthesis, we provide the highest quality, no matter how complex the peptide sequences with a success rate of over 99%. We are the Peptide Experts!

However, when ordering custom peptides you have to consider different specifications, options and risks that are not always commonly understood, e.g. peptide stability, peptide solubility, peptide weight vs net weight, peptide purity vs HPLC purity, endotoxins, ADFC, how to store a peptide and many more.

Therefore, we created an educational series for you to make it easy to understand that peptides are not just a commodity and which question you need to answer for your specific application.

So hop on over to your social media and follow our Peptide ABC with 19 interesting posts waiting for you on:

3. Human Clinical Data Is Thin for Most Research Peptides

As of April 2026, BPC-157 has exactly three published human studies — all pilot-scale, all from the same research group, none with placebo controls. TB-500 has even less human data. The media is correct that injecting these peptides means accepting meaningful uncertainty about long-term effects.

Factor 4: Evidence Quality

Not all peptide evidence is created equal. Some have extensive clinical trial data, others rely primarily on anecdotal reports. Some have decades of use in specific medical contexts, others are newer with limited long-term data. This doesn't mean you should only choose peptides with the most research—sometimes newer options with less data might be worth considering based on your specific needs. But you should understand what type of evidence you're working with and factor that into your decision.
