Peptides & Research Chemicals

BPC-157, TB-500, Melanotan and the 'research use only' pipeline. Peptides are sold online as 'research chemicals — not for human use', which means zero quality control, no dosing safety data, and no recourse when a vial is contaminated or mislabeled. Most have never passed a human safety trial.
