Research guide

Peptides Canada

A plain-English guide to research peptides in Canada: what they are, how vials are reconstituted, and what the mg and mcg units mean.

3 min read Updated September 21, 2026

What is a peptide?

A peptide is a very small protein. It is a short chain of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of every protein.

The human body makes peptides of its own. The ones we sell are built in a lab. They come as a dry white powder inside a vial. A vial is a small glass bottle with a rubber top.

The dry powder is not ready to use. A lab has to reconstitute it first. To reconstitute means to mix a dry powder with liquid. Most labs use bacteriostatic water for this. That is sterile water that stops bacteria growing in it.

How researchers use peptides

  • Tissue models. Labs study BPC-157 and TB-500 in cell and tissue models.
  • Receptor binding. A receptor is a docking spot on a cell. Studies measure which peptides bind where.
  • Metabolic research. GLP-1 compounds such as semaglutide are studied in this field. GLP-1 is short for glucagon-like peptide-1.
  • Copper chemistry. GHK-Cu is a peptide joined to a copper atom. Labs measure how it acts in skin cell models.
  • Dosage response. Studies compare small mg and mcg amounts. One mg is 1000 mcg.

What we stock

Our main range sits in the research peptides category. It holds BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu and more. Each one ships as a sealed vial of dry powder.

Some ranges have a page of their own. See BPC-157, semaglutide and tirzepatide.

You will want supplies as well. We sell bacteriostatic water and needles and syringes. The full store lists it all in one place.

Shipping in Canada

We ship right across Canada. Delivery takes 3 to 7 business days.

Orders go out with Canada Post or Federal Express. Tracking comes with every order. Orders over $399 CAD ship free.

Every box is plain and unmarked. The label does not say what is inside. You can pay by Interac e-Transfer at checkout.

Common questions

Do peptides need to be kept cold?

Yes, once they are mixed with liquid. Keep the mixed vial in a fridge.

Which peptides are the most popular?

BPC-157, TB-500 and the GLP-1 compounds are our top sellers.

Do you test what you sell?

Yes. Every product is quality tested for purity. COAs are on hand if you ask. A COA is a lab report on what a batch holds.

What else do I need to mix a vial?

You need bacteriostatic water and a syringe. We sell both.

What does mg mean on the label?

Mg is short for milligram. It tells you how much dry powder the vial holds.

Words you might not know

  • Peptide — a very small protein, made of amino acids joined in a chain.
  • Vial — a small glass bottle with a rubber top.
  • Reconstitute — to mix a dry powder with liquid so it can be used.
  • Bacteriostatic water — sterile water that stops bacteria growing in it.
  • Receptor — a docking spot on a cell that a molecule binds to.
  • COA — a certificate of analysis, which is the lab report on a batch.
  • Mg and mcg — the two units used to measure a dose. One mg is 1000 mcg.
