What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in your body. Different peptides trigger different responses like healing, fat loss, growth hormone release, or improved sleep.

Are peptides safe?

Most widely used peptides have strong safety profiles, but results vary by individual. Always consult a medical professional before starting any peptide protocol.

Do peptides require injections?

Most do, yes — especially the ones that offer the best results. The injections are very small and go just under the skin (subcutaneous), not into the muscle.

Do injections hurt?

Not really. It feels like a quick pinch. Many beginners are surprised how easy it becomes after 2–3 tries.

Which peptide is best for fat loss?

AOD-9604 is popular for fat loss. For more aggressive fat loss, some people combine AOD-9604 with GLP-1 compounds like semaglutide.

Which peptide is best for muscle gain?

CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin is the most common beginner-friendly option. MK-677 (not a peptide but peptide-adjacent) is also widely used.

Which peptide is best for injury healing?

BPC-157 and TB-500 are the gold-standard healing peptides. They are often used together for faster recovery.

How long does it take to see results?

Some peptides show results in days (BPC-157), while others take weeks (CJC/IPA, AOD-9604). Most people see noticeable changes within 4–6 weeks.

Where do I inject peptides?

Typically in the lower stomach area, 1–2 inches from the belly button. Subcutaneous injections are superficial — not deep.

How do I store peptides?

Reconstituted (mixed) peptides should be refrigerated. Unmixed (powder) peptides can stay at room temp unless otherwise stated.

How do I mix peptides?

Using bacteriostatic water and a syringe. We will add a full step-by-step guide soon.

Can I take multiple peptides at the same time?

Yes, stacking is common. For example: BPC-157 + TB-500 for healing, or CJC/IPA + AOD-9604 for fat loss + GH support.

Are peptides legal?

Peptides are legal to purchase for research purposes. Medical use requires a prescription. Always follow your local laws.

Where do people buy peptides?

Through compounding pharmacies (prescription required) or research supply companies. We will list vetted options soon.

Do peptides have side effects?

Most peptides are well tolerated. Possible side effects include water retention, appetite changes, or injection-site irritation depending on the compound.

Should I cycle peptides?

Usually yes. A common pattern is 8–12 weeks on, 2–4 weeks off, depending on the peptide.
