Buying peptides online: start with the basics

Buying peptides online for research is simple once you know what to look at. This guide covers what a good listing tells you, how to compare sizes, how peptides should arrive and how to store them, using the 102 peptides in the Raw Amino store as the example.

1. Read the product page, not just the name

A useful listing tells you the exact amount in the vial, the form (freeze-dried powder), what the compound is and what the published research says. Every Raw Amino product page also has a specification list, a mixing chart and links to PubMed.

2. Compare price per milligram

Vial prices only make sense per milligram. BPC-157 at Raw Amino is $54 for 5mg (about $10.80 per mg) or $92 for 10mg (about $9.20 per mg). NAD+ drops from $0.57 per mg in the 100mg vial to about $0.37 per mg in the 750mg vial.

3. Decide between single peptides and blends

A blend puts two or three peptides in one vial at a fixed ratio. That saves a mixing step if your protocol already pairs them, like the CJC-1295 Ipamorelin Blend or the BPC-157 TB-500 Blend. If you need to change the ratio, buy the singles.

4. Check shipping and discounts

Shipping costs can change the real price a lot. Raw Amino ships every order free, worldwide, gives 10% off a first order with firstrawamino$$, and takes 15% off crypto payments.

5. Know how peptides should arrive

Research peptides should arrive freeze-dried in sealed, labelled vials. Dry powder is stable at room temperature for several days, so no ice is needed. Check the seals and labels when the parcel comes.

6. Store them properly

Concentration is the amount in the vial divided by the water you add. Use sterile bacteriostatic water, let it run slowly down the inside of the glass and swirl until the powder is gone; don’t shake it. Keep sealed vials frozen at -20°C, and once mixed, keep the vial in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and use it within about four weeks.

7. Check the rules where you live

Research peptides are sold for laboratory use only, and import rules vary by country. Our guides for the US, Europe, Canada and Australia cover the basics.
