Products & Research

What purity level do PepDaddy compounds carry?
All PepDaddy compounds are verified at ≥98% purity via HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) analysis. Each batch has a corresponding Certificate of Analysis (COA) available. You can learn more on our COA & Lab Testing page.
What peptides does PepDaddy stock?
We currently stock 21 research compounds across categories including weight management, recovery, hormonal support, metabolic, longevity, skin, nootropic, and sleep. Visit our Shop for the full catalogue, or our Interactive Usage Guide for detailed compound data.
How should research peptides be stored?
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptide vials should be stored: Unopened at −20°C freezer for long-term storage (up to 24 months); Reconstituted at 2–8°C refrigerator, use within 28–30 days. Protect from light and moisture at all times. Never freeze reconstituted peptide solutions.
How do I reconstitute a peptide vial?
General reconstitution protocol: Use bacteriostatic water (BW) or sterile water; Add solvent slowly down the side of the vial — never inject directly onto the powder; Gently swirl or roll — do not vortex; Allow to dissolve at room temperature (5–10 minutes); Inspect for clarity. Full reconstitution guides are available in our Interactive Usage Guide.
Can I get a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for my order?
Yes. Every PepDaddy product is supplied with a batch-specific COA confirming purity, identity, and testing methodology. COAs are available on request by emailing research@pepdaddy.com with your order number. Learn more on our COA & Lab Testing page.
What is the difference between BPC-157 and TB-500?
Both are recovery and healing peptides. BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound) promotes tendon, ligament, and gut tissue repair via growth factor upregulation. TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) promotes systemic actin regulation and vascular remodelling. Our Wolverine BPC+TB 20mg blend combines both for synergistic research applications.
What makes Retatrutide different from Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a mono-agonist (GLP-1 receptor only), widely studied for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Retatrutide is a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Preclinical and early clinical data suggest Retatrutide produces substantially greater body weight reduction than mono- or dual-agonists.

Research Reference

Where can I find research articles on each compound?
Every compound in our catalogue has a dedicated research article available in our Research Articles section. Articles cover mechanism of action, key preclinical data, typical research protocols, reconstitution, and cited literature. You can also use our Interactive Usage Guide for head-to-head compound comparisons.
What peptides are best studied for muscle recovery and strength?
Based on available research, compounds with strongest signal for strength and recovery include: BPC-157 for tendon and musculoskeletal repair; TB-500 for systemic actin regulation; CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin for GH pulse amplification; MOTS-c for mitochondrial function. See our Strength Training Research page for full protocol breakdown.
Which peptides have the strongest fat loss research basis?
Research-supported compounds for adipose reduction include: Retatrutide (triple GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonist with strongest fat loss signal); AOD-9604 (selective lipolytic HGH fragment); HGH Fragment 176-191 (isolated fat-burning domain); MOTS-c (AMPK pathway activation, exercise mimetic). Full analysis on our Fat Loss Research page.
What is a GLP-1 receptor agonist?
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is an incretin hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to food intake. GLP-1 receptor agonists mimic this hormone to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppress glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and act on hypothalamic appetite centres. See individual research articles for mechanism detail.
What does HPLC analysis tell us about purity?
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the gold-standard analytical method for verifying peptide purity. It separates the compound of interest from impurities and degradation products. Our ≥98% purity rating means that ≥98% of detectable material in the vial is the claimed peptide compound. All COAs include HPLC chromatogram data. View details on our COA & Lab Testing page.
What quality assurance processes does PepDaddy use?
Our quality pipeline includes: HPLC purity analysis (≥98% verified per batch); Mass spectrometry (MS) for molecular identity confirmation; Endotoxin screening (LAL assay); Sterility testing (USP compliant); Batch COA issued and available upon request. Full details on our Quality Assurance page.

What is the difference between BPC-157 and TB-500?
Both are recovery and healing peptides, but they work differently:
  • BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound) is derived from gastric juice. Research suggests it promotes tendon, ligament, and gut tissue repair primarily via upregulation of growth factor receptors and angiogenesis at the injury site.
  • TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) promotes systemic actin regulation, cell migration, and vascular remodelling. It has broader systemic distribution compared to BPC-157.
Our Wolverine BPC+TB 20mg blend combines both for synergistic research applications. See the Wolverine research article for full details.
What makes Retatrutide different from Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a mono-agonist (GLP-1 receptor only), widely studied for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Retatrutide is a triple agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously.

Which peptides have the strongest fat loss research basis?
Research-supported compounds for adipose reduction and metabolic improvements include:
  • Retatrutide — triple GLP-1/GIP/glucagon agonist, strongest preclinical fat loss signal
  • Semaglutide / Tirzepatide — established GLP-1 (and GIP dual) data from phase 3 trials
  • AOD-9604 — selective lipolytic HGH fragment without systemic GH effects
  • HGH Fragment 176-191 — isolated fat-burning domain of growth hormone
  • MOTS-c — AMPK pathway activation, glucose metabolism, exercise mimetic
Full analysis on our Fat Loss Research page.
What is a GLP-1 receptor agonist?
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) is an incretin hormone secreted by intestinal L-cells in response to food intake. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) mimic this hormone and:
  • Stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion
  • Suppress glucagon secretion (reducing hepatic glucose output)
  • Slow gastric emptying (increasing satiety)
  • Act on hypothalamic appetite centres to reduce caloric intake
Examples in our catalogue: Retatrutide, GLOW, KLOW, Semaglutide analogue blends. See individual research articles for mechanism detail.
What does HPLC analysis tell us about purity?
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the gold-standard analytical method for verifying peptide purity. It separates the compound of interest from impurities, degradation products, and contaminants.
