GLP-1 & Weight Management Peptides

GLP-1 and weight management peptides are currently the most searched research compounds in metabolic science. The group includes incretin analogues, which imitate gut hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP, and compounds that act on energy metabolism through other pathways. This category contains both types as lyophilised powder for laboratory research.

GLP-1 and metabolic peptides in this category

• GLP-2T: a dual incretin research peptide, available in 10 to 40 mg vials. COA on file.
• GLP-3RT: a triple agonist research peptide for the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors, available in 10 to 40 mg vials. Our most documented product with 13 batches on file.
• 5-Amino-1MQ 50 mg: a small molecule NNMT inhibitor, studied in fat cell metabolism. It is not a peptide, but it is used in the same research field.
• MOTS-c 20 mg: a mitochondria-derived peptide, studied for its role in glucose metabolism and exercise physiology.

How to choose between GLP-1 analogues and other metabolic compounds

If your work concerns incretin receptors, GLP-2T (two receptors) and GLP-3RT (three receptors) are the relevant compounds. The vial sizes from 10 to 40 mg let you scale the amount to your study design. If you study fat cell metabolism at the enzyme level, 5-Amino-1MQ targets the enzyme NNMT. MOTS-c belongs to the group of mitochondrial peptides and is relevant for research on energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Quality and documentation of our GLP-1 peptides

GLP-2T and GLP-3RT are supplied with a certificate of analysis from independent testing. Each batch is documented, so you can trace the purity of the vial you receive. All compounds are shipped as lyophilised powder in sealed vials and dissolved before use with bacteriostatic water. The concentration calculation for different vial sizes is explained in our guide on how to reconstitute peptides.

Research status of GLP-1 and weight management peptides

Several GLP-1 based medicines are approved for medical use. The research compounds in this category are not approved medicines and are not identical to any pharmaceutical product. They are sold for laboratory research use only and are not intended for human or veterinary use.
