Metabolic research peptides
Metabolic research is one of the most active areas of peptide science. This collection covers incretin- and amylin-class receptor agonists alongside other compounds used in cellular metabolism research. Retatrutide is an investigational single-chain peptide characterised as an agonist at the GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors; cagrilintide is a long-acting lipidated amylin analogue studied at amylin and calcitonin receptors.
AOD-9604 is a synthetic analogue of the 177–191 fragment of human growth hormone used in adipocyte assays, MOTS-c is a sixteen-residue peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA, and 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NAD+, the cofactor at the centre of cellular redox chemistry, is listed here too.

Questions
More on ordering and shipping and batch reports.
Are retatrutide and cagrilintide approved drugs?
No. Both are investigational substances and are not approved drugs. ASTEL Labs supplies them only as research materials for in-vitro laboratory use.
Can these compounds be used in people?
No. Every product is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research. None is a drug, food, supplement or cosmetic, none is for use in people or animals, and we do not answer questions about amounts, preparation or administration.
Where are the certificates of analysis?
Each vial carries a lot number. Certificates of analysis are published on the batch-report page under that lot number as the testing laboratory issues them. Where a lot has no published report yet, the product page says so rather than showing placeholder results.
