Growth hormone research peptides

Short answer

Growth hormone research peptides are secretagogues and releasing-hormone analogues that act on the growth hormone axis. The group covers CJC-1295, ipamorelin, tesamorelin and HGH (somatropin).

What are growth hormone research peptides?

Growth hormone research peptides are secretagogues and releasing-hormone analogues that act on the growth hormone axis. The group covers CJC-1295, ipamorelin, tesamorelin and HGH (somatropin).

CJC-1295 and tesamorelin are analogues of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Ipamorelin acts at the ghrelin receptor. HGH is recombinant growth hormone itself.

Which compounds are in this group?

PRODUCTWHAT IT ISSTRENGTHSFROM
CJC-1295Synthetic GHRH(1-29) analogue carrying a drug affinity complex (maleimidopropionyl-lysine) designed to bind albumin covalently10mgA$85
HGHRecombinant form of the 191-amino-acid pituitary growth hormone (a single-chain protein hormone)15IUA$89
IpamorelinSynthetic pentapeptide growth hormone secretagogue (ghrelin receptor agonist)10mgA$68
TesamorelinSynthetic analogue of human growth hormone-releasing factor (GHRH 1-44) with an N-terminal trans-3-hexenoyl group10mgA$128

How do these compounds differ?

Three act upstream of growth hormone release; HGH is the hormone itself.

How is each batch tested?

Every batch is tested by an independent lab, [lab], before it goes on sale: purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry. The certificate is published under the batch number printed on the vial.

Search any batch number in the certificate library. The testing page explains each method and its limits.

Legal status depends on the compound. 13 of the 28 research compounds in this range are listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only), counting tesamorelin under the group entry for growth hormone-releasing hormones. 7 are also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence. The rest are not named in the Poisons Standard. Each product page states its compound's status, and Peptides Collective sells every product for laboratory research use only.

The legal guide explains each schedule, Appendix D and the WADA list.

How should they be stored?

Store sealed lyophilised vials frozen (about -20 degrees Celsius), dry and dark. Keep reconstituted solutions at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

BAC Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is the alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. Each product page names the solvent for its compound.

The storage guide and reconstitution guide cover laboratory handling.

Growth hormone questions

Is BPC 157 a growth hormone?

No. BPC-157 is a 15-amino-acid peptide described as a gastric protein fragment. Growth hormone is a 191-amino-acid protein.

Are peptides legal in Australia?

Legal status depends on the compound. 13 of the 28 research compounds in this range are listed in Schedule 4 of the Poisons Standard (prescription only), counting tesamorelin under the group entry for growth hormone-releasing hormones. 7 are also listed in Appendix D clause 5, which makes possession without authority an offence. The rest are not named in the Poisons Standard. Each product page states its compound's status, and Peptides Collective sells every product for laboratory research use only.

Will peptides fail a drug test?

Many research peptides are on the WADA 2026 Prohibited List, and sport testing looks for prohibited substances. Each product page states its compound's WADA status; Sport Integrity Australia can confirm how the list applies.

Can I buy peptides in Australia?

Peptides Collective sells research peptides online across Australia for laboratory research use only, with a published certificate for every batch and tracked dispatch from Western Australia. Legal status depends on the compound.
