FAQ
Asked Questions
1. What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. They serve as biological messengers that regulate various physiological functions such as metabolism, immune response, and cellular repair. Peptides are widely researched in fields like regenerative medicine, anti-aging, and metabolic studies.
2. How do peptides differ from proteins?
Peptides are shorter in length than proteins, typically consisting of 2-50 amino acids, while proteins are composed of longer chains, often exceeding 50 amino acids. Peptides usually act as signaling molecules, whereas proteins have structural or enzymatic roles in the body.
3. What types of peptides do you offer?
Bilt Peptides offers a wide range of research peptides, categorized into areas such as:
GLP-1 (e.g., GLP-1 (S), GLP-2 (T), GLP-3 (R)
Anti-Aging (e.g., Epithalon, GHK-cu, NAD+)
Growth Hormone (e.g., CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Tesamorlin)
Cognitive & Neuro (e.g., Selank, DSIP)
Skin & Hair (e.g., GHK-Cu, BPC-157/TB-500 blends)
Immune & Inflammatory (e.g., Thymosin Alpha-1, TB-500, LL-37)
Libido & Reproduction (e.g., Kisspeptin-10, Oxytocin)
4. Are your peptides synthetic or naturally derived?
All peptides offered by Bilt Peptides are synthetically produced using state-of-the-art peptide synthesis technology. This ensures high purity, batch consistency, and stability for research applications.
5. What is the purity level of your peptides?
Our peptides have a purity level of ≥99%, verified through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis.
6. How do you verify the quality and purity of your peptides?
Every batch is tested for purity, molecular integrity, and contaminants, with results documented in a Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
7. Do you provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for your peptides?
Yes, each batch of peptides comes with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) that verifies its purity, molecular composition, and batch-specific testing results. These CoA’s are available in our COA Library on the website.
8. How should I store lyophilized peptides?
Before reconstitution: Store lyophilized peptides at -20°C (-4°F) for long-term stability.
After reconstitution: Keep at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use promptly to maintain integrity.
After reconstitution: Keep at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and use promptly to maintain integrity.
9. What solvents should I use for peptide reconstitution?
The appropriate solvent depends on the peptide’s properties:
Bacteriostatic Water (BW): Commonly used for most peptides.
Acetic Acid (0.6% or 1%): Recommended for peptides with solubility issues.
DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide): Used for specific hydrophobic peptides.
Note: We offer bacteriostatic water in our shop for peptide reconstitution.

10. Do you offer pre-reconstituted peptides?
No, all peptides are provided in lyophilized powder form to ensure stability and a longer shelf life. Researchers are responsible for reconstitution.
11. How long do reconstituted peptides remain stable?
Stored at 2-8°C (36-46°F), most peptides remain stable for 28 days. It is recommended that they are used within this timeframe.
12. Do peptides degrade over time?
Yes, peptides naturally degrade due to moisture, heat, and light exposure. Proper storage conditions help maintain their stability and research effectiveness.
13. Are your peptides sterile?
Our peptides are produced under controlled conditions and tested to meet research-grade purity standards. However, they are strictly for research use only and not intended for human or veterinary applications.
14. Do your peptides contain additives or preservatives?
No, Bilt Peptides are free from unnecessary additives, fillers, or preservatives, ensuring high-purity compounds for research applications.
15. What is the difference between lyophilized and liquid peptides?
Lyophilized peptides (freeze-dried powder) have a longer shelf life and remain stable until reconstituted.
Liquid peptides are pre-mixed but degrade faster, making them less suitable for long-term storage.
We only offer lyophilized peptides to ensure maximum stability and shelf life.
16. Can I request a specific peptide that is not listed on your website?
Yes, we are constantly expanding our catalog. If you need a specific peptide, contact us to inquire about special orders or upcoming availability.
17. Do you offer custom peptide synthesis services?
At this time, we do not offer custom peptide synthesis, but we may consider special requests for bulk orders or research collaborations.
