Frequently Asked Questions

Every order ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) from an ISO 17025 accredited third-party laboratory. All compounds are lyophilised (freeze-dried) for maximum stability. Packaging includes cold-chain materials to maintain compound integrity during transit.

Vertex Labs compounds are supplied exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research purposes. They are not for human consumption and have not been evaluated or approved by the TGA or any equivalent regulatory authority. By purchasing, you confirm use is strictly for legitimate scientific research.

All compounds are tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-UV) by an independent ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. Results are documented in a batch-specific COA. We maintain a minimum purity threshold of 98% — most batches exceed 99%. If a batch fails, it is destroyed and replaced.

Yes. Our full COA library is publicly accessible via the COA link in the navigation. You can review third-party purity data for every available compound before placing an order. No account required.

All orders are dispatched via express post with cold-chain packaging. Delivery is typically 1–3 business days within Australia. A tracking number is provided upon dispatch. Orders placed before 12pm AEST on business days are generally shipped same day.

Currently we ship within Australia only. International shipping is not available at this time. If you are based outside Australia, please contact us and we will advise if and when international dispatch becomes available.

Lyophilised compounds should be stored at −20°C when unopened. Once reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water, store at 4°C and use within the timeframe noted in your product documentation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Keep away from direct light and heat.

Yes. Bulk and repeat orders are welcome. Please reach out via the contact page to discuss volume pricing, lead times, and batch allocation for larger research requirements.

We accept all major credit and debit cards processed securely through Shopify Payments. All transactions are encrypted. No payment details are stored on our servers.

Due to the nature of research compounds, we are unable to accept returns of opened product. If your order arrives damaged or there is an error with your shipment, please contact us within 48 hours of receipt and we will arrange a replacement or refund at our discretion.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide derived from a protein found in gastric juice. It has been studied extensively in preclinical models for its role in tissue repair, angiogenesis, and gastrointestinal protection. Research has explored its interactions with growth hormone receptors and nitric oxide pathways. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

TB-500 is a synthetic analogue of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring peptide present in virtually all human and animal cells. Research interest centres on its role in actin regulation, cell migration, and tissue regeneration. Preclinical studies have examined its application in wound healing, cardiac repair, and musculoskeletal recovery models. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring tripeptide-copper complex found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It has been studied for its involvement in wound healing, collagen synthesis, antioxidant activity, and gene regulation. Research suggests it may influence over 4,000 genes involved in tissue remodelling and anti-inflammatory processes. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 50mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

Retatrutide is a triple agonist peptide targeting the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. It has attracted significant research attention for its potential role in metabolic regulation, energy homeostasis, and adipose tissue reduction. Preclinical and early clinical data suggest it may produce more pronounced metabolic effects than dual-agonist compounds. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

CJC-1295 (No DAC) is a synthetic analogue of Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH). Unlike the DAC version, the No DAC variant has a shorter half-life, producing a pulsatile release pattern that more closely mimics natural GH secretion rhythms. It is commonly used in research examining GH axis modulation and is often studied alongside GHRP-class compounds. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

Ipamorelin is a selective growth hormone secretagogue and ghrelin receptor agonist. It stimulates GH release with high selectivity — research shows minimal effect on cortisol, prolactin, or ACTH compared to earlier GHRP compounds. This selectivity profile makes it a popular choice in studies focused on isolated GH axis activation. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

GHRP-2 (Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide-2) is a synthetic hexapeptide that acts as a potent ghrelin receptor agonist, stimulating growth hormone release from the pituitary. It is one of the most studied peptides in the GHRP class, with research examining its effects on GH pulsatility, appetite regulation, and IGF-1 expression. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

Semax is a heptapeptide analogue of ACTH(4-7) developed in Russia, where it has been used in clinical research settings for decades. Preclinical studies have focused on its nootropic properties, BDNF upregulation, neuroprotection, and cognitive performance in stress and ischaemia models. It has been examined for its influence on dopaminergic and serotonergic systems. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 10mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

Glow is Vertex Labs' proprietary peptide blend formulated for skin and connective tissue research applications. The compound combines GHK-Cu with additional peptides studied for their role in collagen synthesis, extracellular matrix repair, and oxidative stress reduction. Supplied as a lyophilised powder, 30mg per vial, ≥99% purity.

Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth and allows for multi-dose use of a single vial. It is the standard reconstitution solution for lyophilised research peptides. All Vertex Labs compounds are supplied in lyophilised form and require reconstitution before use in research applications. Supplied in 30ml vials, laboratory grade.
