FAQ

Research peptides are short chains of amino acids synthesised for use in scientific and laboratory research. They are used by researchers to study biological mechanisms, signal pathways, and potential therapeutic applications. All peptides we supply are produced to high purity standards and are intended strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research purposes only.

"For Research Use Only" (RUO) means these compounds are manufactured and sold exclusively for use in controlled laboratory and scientific research settings. They have not been approved by any regulatory authority for human consumption, medical treatment, or veterinary use. By purchasing, customers confirm they are qualified research professionals using the products in compliance with applicable laws.

All compounds are tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to verify purity and identity. We target ≥99% purity across our range. Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documents are available upon request for any batch.

Both products contain the same high-purity BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) peptide with identical amino acid sequence and purity certification. The only difference is the quantity — 5mg is suited for shorter research protocols or smaller-scale studies, while 10mg is a high-volume format ideal for extended or larger studies. The 10mg vial offers better value per milligram.

Our BPC-157 + TB-500 blend combines Body Protection Compound-157 with Thymosin Beta-4 Fragment (TB-500) in a research-optimised ratio. These two peptides have well-documented complementary mechanisms in preclinical tissue healing research, making the combination a popular choice for researchers studying regenerative biology, angiogenesis, and musculoskeletal repair.

Our products are sold exclusively to qualified research professionals, scientists, and laboratory operators who are 18 years of age or older. By completing a purchase, you confirm that you meet these requirements and that the products will be used for lawful research purposes only.

No. There is no minimum order quantity. You can purchase as little as a single vial. Volume discounts may be available for bulk research orders — contact us directly for pricing on larger quantities.

We accept major credit and debit cards, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency. All transactions are processed securely with full encryption. Payment options are displayed at checkout.

Orders can be cancelled or modified within 2 hours of placement, provided they have not yet been dispatched. Contact our support team immediately with your order reference number. Once an order has been dispatched, it cannot be cancelled.

Standard shipping is a flat $9.99. Orders of $150 or more ship free — the discount is applied automatically at checkout.

All orders are shipped in discreet, plain packaging with no external branding that identifies the contents. Temperature-sensitive compounds are packed with appropriate cold-chain materials (ice packs, insulated liners) to maintain integrity during transit.

Orders placed before 12pm on business days are typically dispatched the same day. Standard delivery within the United States typically takes 2–5 business days. We currently ship within the United States only and do not offer international shipping.

No. We currently ship within the United States only and do not offer international shipping at this time. Orders with a shipping address outside the United States cannot be fulfilled.

If your order arrives damaged or does not arrive within the expected timeframe, contact our support team with your order number and photos (for damaged items). We will investigate and arrange a replacement or refund on a case-by-case basis.

Bonsai Collective is our monthly group-buy program. Each month we feature one compound at pre-production pricing. Researchers commit to the purchase up front, and once the cohort reaches its minimum order quantity (MOQ), the group order is confirmed and manufactured as a single production run. Visit the Collective page to see the current and upcoming cohorts.

Because it is a pre-production purchase, not a stocked product. By pooling an entire cohort's order into one manufacturing run, we cut per-unit production and handling costs significantly and pass that on. The trade-off is time: production begins only after the cohort closes, so delivery takes 8–12 weeks from payment rather than our usual fast dispatch.

Allow 8–12 weeks from payment to delivery. Collective orders enter production after the monthly cohort closes, are manufactured as one batch, quality-tested, and then shipped to all cohort members together. If you need a compound quickly, order it from the regular catalog instead — Collective is designed for researchers planning ahead.

Every commitment pays the cohort's base (MOQ) price at checkout. If the cohort grows past additional tier thresholds before it closes, the per-vial price drops for everyone — the difference between what you paid and the final unlocked price is returned to you as store credit.

If the minimum order quantity isn't reached by the closing date, the cohort doesn't proceed and every commitment is refunded in full. You risk time, not money.

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored at -20°C in a sealed container away from light and moisture. When stored correctly, most peptides have a shelf life of 24 months or more in lyophilized form. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, peptides should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within 1–2 weeks. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Most peptides reconstitute well in bacteriostatic water or sterile water for injection. Some hydrophobic peptides may require a small amount of acetic acid (0.1–1%) or DMSO to fully dissolve before diluting to the desired research concentration. Always consult the relevant literature for your specific compound.

In lyophilized form, most peptides can tolerate short periods at room temperature without significant degradation (e.g., during shipping). However, for long-term storage, -20°C is always recommended. GHK-Cu is an exception and can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Always refer to the individual product storage guidelines.

The legal status of research compounds varies by country and jurisdiction. It is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify that importing and possessing these compounds is lawful in their location and that their intended use complies with all applicable regulations. We do not provide legal advice and cannot be held liable for any regulatory breach by the purchaser.

No. All products supplied by Bonsai Compounds are sold strictly as research reagents for qualified laboratory use. They have not been evaluated or approved by any regulatory authority for clinical or therapeutic applications. They are to be handled exclusively within laboratory environments by appropriately qualified personnel in accordance with applicable legislation.

Our products are sold exclusively to individuals who represent themselves as qualified research professionals and agree to our research-use-only terms. By completing a purchase, you legally confirm this status. We reserve the right to refuse any order that we believe may not be for legitimate research purposes.
