Frequently Asked Questions
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. In research settings, peptides are used to study biological signaling pathways, molecular interactions, and cellular mechanisms under controlled laboratory conditions.
2. What is the difference between peptides and proteins?
Peptides are smaller than proteins. Peptides typically consist of 2–50 amino acids, whereas proteins are larger, more complex chains that often have structural or enzymatic roles.
3. What types of peptides does Olympia Peptides sell?
Olympia Peptides LLC offers a wide range of research peptides categorized for laboratory research purposes, including GLP-related peptides, growth-hormone–related compounds, cognitive and neuro research peptides, immune and inflammatory compounds, skin and hair research peptides, regenerative research peptides, and related laboratory materials.
4. Are your peptides synthetic or natural?
All peptides sold by Olympia Peptides LLC are synthetically produced using advanced peptide synthesis methods to ensure batch consistency, purity, and stability.
5. Are your peptides FDA approved?
No. All products sold by Olympia Peptides LLC are for Research Use Only and have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
RESEARCH USE & LEGAL COMPLIANCE
6. What does “For Research Use Only” mean?
“For Research Use Only” means products are intended strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research by qualified professionals. They are not intended for human consumption, veterinary use, diagnosis, treatment, or medical application.
7. Can your peptides be used for human or animal use?
No. Any human, veterinary, diagnostic, or therapeutic use is strictly prohibited.

QUALITY, TESTING & COAs
11. What purity level are your peptides?
Peptides are typically verified at ≥99% purity, confirmed through analytical testing methods such as HPLC and Mass Spectrometry.
12. Are your peptides third-party tested?
Yes. Each batch undergoes independent third-party analytical testing.
13. Do you provide Certificates of Analysis (CoAs)?
Yes. Every product includes a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis documenting molecular identity and purity.
14. Where can I find CoAs?
Certificates of Analysis are available through the Olympia Peptides COA Library or upon request.
15. Are your peptides sterile?
Peptides are produced under controlled laboratory conditions but are not sterile-packaged for clinical or medical use.
STORAGE & HANDLING
16. How should lyophilized peptides be stored?
Lyophilized peptides should be stored at -20°C (-4°F) or lower, protected from light and moisture.
17. How should reconstituted peptides be stored?
Once reconstituted, peptides should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within an appropriate research timeframe.
18. What solvents are used for reconstitution?
Common research solvents include bacteriostatic water, dilute acetic acid, or DMSO, depending on peptide properties. Researchers are responsible for determining appropriate solvents.
19. How long do reconstituted peptides last?
Stability varies by peptide, but many reconstituted peptides are typically stable for up to 28 days when properly stored.
