Frequently Asked Questions
Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same building blocks that make up proteins. Research peptides are synthetically produced compounds studied in laboratory settings to understand their interactions with biological pathways, including cellular signalling, receptor binding, and metabolic processes.
All products sold by Helix Peptides are supplied strictly as research materials for laboratory use only. They are not intended for human consumption.
This is a legal and compliance designation meaning our products are intended exclusively for controlled scientific study. They are not medicines, supplements, or treatments, and have not been approved by any regulatory authority for human administration.
Purchasing from Helix Peptides confirms that you are a qualified researcher and all compounds will be used appropriately within a research context.
In research settings, impurities can introduce variables that compromise the accuracy and reproducibility of results. All Helix Peptides products meet a minimum purity threshold of 99%+, independently verified by third-party testing. Our COAs detail the analytical methods — typically HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity confirmation.
A Certificate of Analysis is a batch-specific document issued by an independent laboratory confirming a compound’s identity and purity. It records the testing methodology, results, and date of analysis.
Each product page includes a link to the current COA for that batch. The COA references the batch or lot number, which corresponds to the labelling on your product. Contact support@helixpeptides.com with your order number and batch details for any queries.
Our products are available to individuals aged 18 and over purchasing for legitimate research purposes. By completing a purchase you confirm that you understand the nature of the compounds and will use them in accordance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.
We accept major credit and debit cards processed securely through Authorize.net. All transactions are SSL-encrypted and PCI-DSS compliant.
Yes. We do not store card details on our servers. All payment data is handled directly by Authorize.net, which operates to PCI-DSS Level 1 standards — the highest level of payment security certification available.
Orders are typically dispatched within 1–2 business days of payment confirmation. You will receive a dispatch confirmation email with tracking details once your order has shipped.
Please refer to our Shipping Policy for current delivery destinations. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that importing research peptides is lawful in their destination country before ordering.
Yes. All orders are dispatched in plain, unmarked outer packaging with no branding or product descriptions visible on the exterior.
Lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light. For long-term storage, keep them at -20°C. Once reconstituted, peptide solutions should be refrigerated and used promptly.
Bacteriostatic water (sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is commonly used as it inhibits microbial growth and extends the usable life of the solution. The appropriate volume depends on the specific peptide and concentration required for your research protocol.
Research Use Only. All products sold by Helix Peptides are intended strictly for laboratory and research purposes. Not for human consumption. You must be 18 or older to purchase. Nothing on this page constitutes medical advice.
