How much do research peptides cost? A 2026 price guide

What research peptides cost in 2026: per-vial and per-milligram ranges across vendors, what drives the price, and the current Aegis Bio catalog prices.

A single 10 mg research peptide vial generally sells for somewhere between $25 and $89 in 2026, and a 10-vial kit for between roughly $90 and $750 depending on the compound and the supplier. At Aegis Bio a Retatrutide 10 mg single vial is $33 and the 10 mg kit is $165. The spread is wide because vial price is a poor comparison: cost per milligram of peptide is the figure that compares cleanly.

Key facts

What drives the price of a research peptide?

Five things, in roughly descending order of how much they move the number.

Cost per milligram is the only clean comparison

Two listings for the same sequence at different strengths cannot be compared on sticker price at all. Divide the price by the total milligrams in the listing and the ordering frequently reverses. Then adjust for peptide content: a vial at 90 percent content delivers more peptide than one at 76 percent for the same label mass, and the sticker comparison points the wrong way. The arithmetic is worked through in single vials versus packs.

Prices are in USD and include the vial. Standard shipping is $25 for every shipment, with estimated delivery in 5–7 business days. Expedited shipping is $50, with estimated delivery in 2–3 days. These rates apply to all destinations, single vials, and any quantity of kits. Live reductions are listed on the sale page.

What changed in the catalog in September 2026 — a single vial for every compound and adjusted kit prices — is set out in the catalog update.

Ipamorelin and CJC-1295

These two are priced against each other more often than anything else in the catalog, so the arithmetic is worth writing out. Ipamorelin 5 mg × 10 vials is $147.40, which is $14.74 a vial and $2.95 a milligram. CJC-1295 no DAC at the same strength is $184.80 ($18.48 a vial, $3.70 a milligram), and CJC-1295 with DAC is the dearer of the two forms at $279.40.

The co-lyophilised blend — CJC-1295 no DAC 5 mg with Ipamorelin 5 mg, 10 vials — is $211.20, against $184.80 plus $147.40 for the same material bought as two listings. The trade is that a blend is one cake in one vial, so the two components cannot be used at independent ratios.

For comparison, single 5 mg Ipamorelin vials are commonly listed at $30 to $60 by research vendors, and considerably higher through clinic channels. Specifications are on the Ipamorelin, CJC-1295 no DAC, CJC-1295 with DAC and blend pages.

Is a cheaper vendor actually cheaper?

Sometimes, and the way to find out has three steps. Convert both listings to cost per milligram. Adjust each by the stated peptide content, or treat a missing content figure as an unknown error of 10 to 25 percent. Then add shipping to both. A listing that survives all three is genuinely cheaper; most of the gap between the bottom and the middle of this market does not.

The cost that never appears on either listing is material you cannot use. A lot that arrives without documentation, or that behaves inconsistently between vials, costs a repeated experiment, which is almost always more than the saving that bought it.

Buying one vial first

A single vial answers the documentation question, the packaging question and the communication question for a fraction of a kit price. The cost-per-milligram premium on a single vial is the price of finding that out cheaply, and it is usually worth paying once. Every compound in this catalog is sold as a single vial as well as in kits, including Retatrutide, Tirzepatide, BPC-157, GHK-Cu and MOTS-c.

Frequently asked

How much do peptides cost?

In 2026 a single 10 mg research peptide vial generally sells for between about $25 and $89, and a 10-vial kit for between roughly $90 and $750. At Aegis Bio a Retatrutide 10 mg single vial is $33 and the 10 mg kit is $165.

Why do peptide prices vary so much between vendors?

Purity specification, whether a batch-specific certificate is produced per lot, whether stock is held domestically, and how many milligrams the listing actually contains. Vial price compares poorly; cost per milligram compares cleanly.

What is a fair price per milligram for a research peptide?

It depends on the sequence and the strength, which is why the catalog publishes a cost per milligram on every compound page. Compare that figure rather than the vial price, then adjust for the peptide content stated on the certificate.

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping is $25 for every shipment, with estimated delivery in 5–7 business days. Expedited shipping is $50, with estimated delivery in 2–3 days. These rates apply to all destinations, single vials, and any quantity of kits.

Is there a discount on a first order?

Yes. WELCOME10 takes 10% off the items subtotal of a first order at checkout. It does not apply to items already on sale: a reduced item is charged at its sale price and the code comes off the regular-priced items in the same cart.
