What Are Peptides¶

Peptides are short chains of amino acids → basically tiny proteins that act like messenger molecules in your body.

They tell your cells to heal faster, burn fat, build muscle, produce collagen, and more.

Most peptides you see online arrive as freeze-dried (lyophilized) white powder in small glass vials. This form stays stable even in hot and humid Philippine weather.

Why Are Peptides So Popular in the Philippines?¶

• Rapid weight loss (tirzepatide, retatrutide, semaglutide)
• Faster recovery from injuries or workouts (BPC-157, TB-500)
• Younger-looking skin & thicker hair (GHK-Cu, collagen peptides)
• Better sleep and energy (CJC-1295, ipamorelin)
• Stronger immune system & reduced inflammation

Why Do They Come as Powder in a Vial?¶

• Lasts 2+ years at room temperature → no problem with brownouts
• Cheap and light to ship anywhere in the country
• Easier to clear customs (labeled “research use only”)
• Won’t spoil even if courier is delayed a few days

After you mix with bacteriostatic water → keep in the fridge (good for 4–6 weeks).

Why Do Most Peptides Need to Be Injected?¶

• Many peptides are destroyed by stomach acid if you swallow them
• Tiny subcutaneous injection (into the fat) → goes straight into the blood → nearly 100 % absorption

Good news: the needle is an ultra-thin insulin syringe (30G–31G).
Most people say it hurts less than plucking eyebrows or a mosquito bite.
After the first few times you won’t even feel it.
