Snowman research guides
Side-by-side reference pages for the vials on our shelves: what is in each blend, how related peptides differ in structure, and how they are named, from GHRH analogs to the many nicknames of Sema, Tirz and Reta. Composition, structure and naming only, with no dosing and no outcome claims. Laboratory research use only, adults 21+.

GLOW vs KLOW vs Wolverine: what's in each vial
Three blends, four peptides, one question: what is actually inside each vial? This guide lines up the BPC-157 + TB-500 combo (the pairing other shops call "Wolverine"), GLOW and KLOW, milligram by milligram. It covers composition only. It makes no claims about what any blend does, and nothing here is for human or veterinary use.

BPC-157 vs TB-500: structure, origin and naming
BPC-157 and TB-500 get mentioned in the same breath so often that they are easy to blur together. They are different molecules with different origins. This guide compares structure, origin and naming only. It makes no efficacy claims, and both are sold strictly for laboratory research.

Sermorelin vs tesamorelin vs CJC-1295 (no DAC)
Sermorelin, tesamorelin and CJC-1295 are all modeled on growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), but they are built differently and have very different regulatory histories. Ipamorelin, which shares a vial with CJC-1295 on our shelf, is not a GHRH analog at all. This guide covers structure and status only: no dosing, no outcomes.

Sema, Tirz and Reta decoded: every name, brand and nickname
Semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide travel under a small blizzard of aliases: chemical names, brand names, lab codes, receptor shorthand and forum slang. If you have ever wondered what GLP-3 is, whether tirzepatide has other names, or why one vial gets called four different things, this page lines every label up in one place. It covers naming, receptor class and regulatory status only. It makes no claims about effects, and every vial we sell is for laboratory research only.

Base vs salt peptides: acetate, TFA and sodium forms explained
Read enough peptide listings, catalogs and papers and you'll find the same molecule written several ways: semaglutide, semaglutide sodium, tirzepatide acetate, retatrutide TFA. Those extra words describe a salt form, not a different peptide chain. This guide explains what "base" and "salt" mean, why synthetic peptides so often come out of the lab as salts, what the FDA labels for the branded GLP-1 products actually list, how salt weight can show up on a label, and what a typical certificate of analysis does and doesn't tell you. It is chemistry and labeling reference only: no effect claims, no comparisons of forms, and nothing here is about how to use any product.
