Documentation & Quality Assurance

Each lot is sourced through our verified global supply chain with emphasis on traceability and quality control. We work diligently to obtain and maintain third-party analytical reports (HPLC/LC-MS) and Certificates of Analysis for each batch, as part of our ongoing quality process. These documents are reviewed internally and displayed as they become available. Independent third-party testing is also performed on select lots to confirm identity, purity, and alignment with our internal specifications.


Important Notice

This product is intended for laboratory research use only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, and must not be used for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical purposes.
This material is not a drug, medical device, or dietary supplement, and has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.


Quality & Manufacturing

All materials are sourced from carefully vetted domestic and international manufacturing partners who follow quality systems consistent with ISO and cGMP principles. Each supplier is reviewed for reliability, documentation integrity, and transparency in testing.

We require a verified purity of 99% or higher and perform independent third-party spot testing to confirm that select lots meet our internal standards for identity, purity, and composition. Where available, endotoxin testing results are included on Certificates of Analysis to verify laboratory purity; their inclusion is for research quality assessment only and does not imply suitability for human or veterinary use.

All research materials are sealed for integrity and packaged for stability during storage and transport from manufacturing through final delivery.

Storage Instructions

All our research peptides are manufactured using a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process. This method is designed to maintain product integrity and allows vials to remain stable during shipping for approximately 3–4 months.

Once a vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, it should be stored in the refrigerator to help maintain stability. Under these conditions, reconstituted material is generally considered stable for up to 30 days.

Lyophilization is a dehydration technique in which compounds are frozen and then exposed to low pressure. This causes the water in the vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure. This powder can be kept at room temperature until reconstitution.

Upon receipt, products should be stored away from heat and light. For short-term use, refrigeration at approximately 4°C (39°F) is suitable. For long-term storage (several months to years), vials may be placed in a freezer at approximately -80°C (-112°F). Freezing is the preferred method for preserving product stability over extended periods.

Ghrelin as a Biomarker of "Immunometabolic Depression" and Its Connection with Dysbiosis.

Nutrients 2023

Ghrelin, a gastrointestinal peptide, is an endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), which is mainly produced by X/A-like cells in the intestinal mucosa. Beyond its initial description as a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue stimulator of appetite, ghrelin has been revealed to have a wide range of physiological effects, for example, the modulation of inflammation; the improvement of cardiac performance; the modulation of stress, anxiety, taste sensation, and reward-seeking behavior; and the regulation of glucose metabolism and thermogenesis.

Binding Domain Characterization of Growth Hormone Secretagogue Receptor.

Journal of translational internal medicine 2022

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Activation of ghrelin receptor growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) by endogenous or synthetic ligands amplifies pulsatile release of growth hormone (GH) and enhances food intake, very relevant to development and growth. GHS-R is a G-protein coupled receptor that has great druggable potential.

Ghrelin and LEAP-2: Rivals in Energy Metabolism.

Trends in pharmacological sciences 2018

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP-2), the endogenous noncompetitive allosteric antagonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a (GHSR1a), was recently identified as a key endocrine factor regulating systemic energy metabolism. This antagonist impairs the ability of ghrelin to activate GHSR1a and diminishes ghrelin-induced Ca release in vitro.

Ghrelin function in insulin release and glucose metabolism.

Endocrine development 2013

Circulating ghrelin is produced predominantly in the stomach, and its receptor GH secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) is expressed in a variety of central and peripheral tissues. The signal transduction mechanisms of ghrelin receptor in islet β-cells are very unique, being distinct from those utilized for GH release.

Ghrelin in the regulation of body weight and metabolism.

Frontiers in neuroendocrinology 2010

Ghrelin, a peptide hormone predominantly produced by the stomach, was isolated as the endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Therapeutic intervention with ghrelin in catabolic situations may induce a combination of enhanced food intake, increased gastric emptying and nutrient storage, coupled with an increase in GH thereby linking nutrient partitioning with growth and repair processes.

Permeability of the peptidic GH secretagogues hexarelin and EP 51389, across rat jejunum.

Peptides 2001

These results suggest that: 1) the intestinal permeability of hexarelin and EP 51389 is poor; 2) the passage of hexarelin is mainly via a transcellular passive pathway since the contribution of paracellular permeability to the overall permeability is rather low; 3) P-gp may act as a potential barrier for the intestinal absorption of EP 51389.
