Fat Loss & Metabolism
Peptides and compounds around fat loss and metabolism form one of the most studied research areas. This category brings together Retatrutide, AOD-9604, MOTS-C and 5-Amino-1MQ among others — lab-verified at ≥99% purity and for research purposes only.
What falls under metabolism research?
Retatrutide is a triple-receptor agonist studied in clinical research on body composition. MOTS-C is a mitochondrially derived peptide investigated around metabolism, and AOD-9604 is a fragment studied on lipolysis. SLU-PP-332 and 5-Amino-1MQ are small molecules in view in metabolic research.
Quality and documentation
All compounds are externally tested per batch (Janoshik, HPLC + MS) at ≥99% purity. See the certificates page or request a specific COA via the lot number.
FAQ
Is Retatrutide the same as Tirzepatide?
No. Both are studied in metabolic research, but Retatrutide acts on three receptors and Tirzepatide on two. See our blog for a research-level comparison. Both products are for research only.
How are these products supplied?
As lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder per vial, shipped discreetly and quickly within the EU. Reconstitution is done with bacteriostatic water from our lab accessories.
