Alluvi Peptides is committed to supplying compounds that meet the rigorous standards expected by research professionals. Our products are sourced from manufacturers who employ analytical testing methods including HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and mass spectrometry to verify compound identity and purity levels.
We prioritise transparency in our supply chain. If you require batch-specific certificates of analysis or purity documentation for your research records, please contact our team directly prior to or at the time of ordering.
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that has attracted significant attention in metabolic science. Unlike single-pathway agents, tirzepatide's dual-receptor interaction profile allows researchers to study incretin signalling at both the GIP and GLP-1 receptor simultaneously.
It is widely studied in the context of glucose homeostasis, metabolic regulation, adipose tissue signalling, and appetite hormone pathways. Clinical research has demonstrated substantial metabolic effects, making it one of the most actively investigated peptide compounds in 2025–2026.
All Tirzepatide supplied by Alluvi Peptides is provided for in-vitro and laboratory research purposes only.
Retatrutide is a triple receptor agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously — distinguishing it from tirzepatide's dual-action profile. This tri-receptor interaction makes it one of the more complex metabolic compounds currently under investigation.
Researchers studying multi-pathway metabolic signalling, energy expenditure mechanisms, and hormonal crosstalk in adipose and hepatic tissue have particular interest in Retatrutide's unique pharmacological profile. It represents an important tool for understanding how simultaneous receptor activation influences metabolic outcomes at a molecular level.
BPC-157 (Body Protective Compound-157) is a synthetic pentadecapeptide studied extensively in the context of tissue signalling, gastrointestinal biology, and cellular repair mechanisms. TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) is a naturally occurring peptide investigated for its role in cell migration, angiogenesis, and tissue remodelling pathways.
When combined in research, this blend allows laboratories to study the potential synergistic or additive interactions between these two peptides' distinct biological signalling mechanisms. Research applications include regenerative biology, wound healing models, inflammatory signalling, and connective tissue studies.

Shipping & Delivery
5 questionsAlluvi Peptides ships to research destinations across the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, Canada, and Australia, along with many additional territories.
Shipping availability and conditions may vary by country depending on local import regulations applicable to research compounds. If you are unsure whether we ship to your location, please contact us before placing an order.
All orders are dispatched in discreet, secure packaging with no external branding that identifies the contents or the nature of the products. Packaging is designed to maintain peptide stability during transit, including appropriate thermal protection where required.
We understand that research confidentiality is important to our customers. Our shipping and packaging practices are designed with this in mind at every stage.
Estimated delivery timeframes depend on destination and the shipping tier selected at checkout:
United Kingdom: 1–3 business days
European Union: 3–7 business days
United States / Canada: 5–10 business days
Australia & Rest of World: 7–14 business days
These are estimates only. Delays may occasionally occur due to customs processing or carrier conditions. A tracking reference is provided with all dispatched orders.
While seizures are uncommon, customs interception can occur depending on the destination country and current import regulations. In the event your order is seized, please contact us promptly with your tracking information and any documentation received from the customs authority.
We will assess the situation on a case-by-case basis and work to find the most appropriate resolution. Customers are responsible for understanding the import regulations applicable in their jurisdiction prior to ordering. We strongly encourage you to verify local rules before placing an order for international shipment.
First, check your tracking number (included in your dispatch confirmation email) for the latest carrier update. Many delays resolve within 24–48 hours of the estimated delivery date, particularly for international shipments still clearing customs.
If your tracking shows no movement for more than 5 business days beyond the estimated delivery date, please contact our support team with your order number and tracking reference. We will investigate and provide a resolution as quickly as possible.
Storage & Handling
4 questionsLyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light. For optimal long-term stability:
Short-term (up to 4 weeks): Refrigerator at 2–8°C
Long-term: Freezer at −20°C or below
Once reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 28 days
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as this can degrade peptide structure. Always use clean laboratory equipment when handling compounds.
The appropriate reconstitution solvent depends on the specific compound. Common choices in laboratory settings include bacteriostatic water (BW), sterile water for injection, or dilute acetic acid solutions for hydrophobic peptides.
Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol) is preferred when the reconstituted solution will be stored for an extended period, as it inhibits microbial growth. Always follow the reconstitution guidance specific to each compound and adhere to your institution's laboratory protocols.
Lyophilised peptides are generally stable at room temperature for short transit periods — typically several days to a few weeks — without significant degradation, provided they have not been reconstituted and are kept away from heat and direct light.
This is why discreet, temperature-appropriate packaging is used for all our shipments. Upon receipt, place the compound in appropriate refrigerated storage immediately. If you have concerns about compound integrity upon arrival, contact our team before proceeding with your research.
When stored correctly in lyophilised form at −20°C, most peptide research compounds maintain their integrity for 24–36 months from the manufacture date. Each product is supplied with a batch date and, where applicable, an expiry reference.
Once reconstituted, compounds should be used within 28 days when refrigerated at 2–8°C. Stability can vary between peptide classes — consult available scientific literature for compound-specific guidance relevant to your research protocols.
