Premium Peptides

Lyophilized peptides are freeze dried powder in sealed vials which are the gold standard format for research grade peptide compounds. The freeze drying process removes moisture completely, which is the primary driver of peptide degradation. The result is a stable, long shelf life product that maintains compound integrity from production through shipping and storage, right up until the point of reconstitution. For serious peptide protocols where purity and dose accuracy matter, vials are the benchmark format.

True North Performance’s Premium Peptides catalogue covers the full range: recovery compounds, growth hormone secretagogues, nootropics, and weight management peptides, all sourced from verified manufacturers and independently tested before listing.

Recovery Peptides | BPC-157 & TB-500

BPC-157 and TB-500 are the two most researched and widely used recovery peptides available, and the ones with the strongest real world track record in the performance community.

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound 157) is a 15-amino acid peptide with extensively documented effects on tissue repair, specifically tendons, ligaments, muscle tears, joint inflammation, and gut barrier damage. BPC-157 has been researched across all of these with consistent results. It can be administered subcutaneously near an injury site for localized effects or systemically for broader anti inflammatory action. For most musculoskeletal injury protocols, injectable BPC-157 in lyophilized vial format is the most effective option available.

TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) works systemically as its primary mechanisms involve promoting actin polymerization for cell motility, stimulating angiogenesis, and upregulating proteins involved in tissue regeneration across the whole body. Where BPC-157 is precise and localized, TB-500 is broad and systemic. The two complement each other directly, which is why the BPC-157 and TB-500 stack is the most popular recovery protocol in this category; localized repair and systemic regeneration running simultaneously.

Growth Hormone Peptides | CJC-1295 & Ipamorelin

CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin are the most widely used growth hormone secretagogue combination. Compounds that stimulate your pituitary gland to produce and release more of your own growth hormone rather than introducing exogenous HGH directly.

CJC-1295 is a GHRH analogue that extends the half-life of growth hormone releasing hormone, producing sustained elevation in GH pulse amplitude. Ipamorelin is a selective GHRP that stimulates GH release with minimal effect on cortisol or prolactin which is cleaner than older GHRPs like GHRP-2 or GHRP-6 that produced more systemic side effects. Together they produce synergistic GH elevation that significantly outperforms either compound alone. The lyophilized vial format gives you full control over reconstitution concentration and dose, which matters for dialing in a GH protocol precisely.

Nootropic Peptides | Selank & Semax

Selank and Semax are two of the most researched cognitive and neurological peptides available. Both were developed in Russia and have been studied extensively for their effects on the central nervous system.

Selank is a synthetic analogue of the human immunoglobulin G tuftsin fragment with strong anxiolytic and nootropic activity. It reduces anxiety and stress response without sedation, without dependence, and without the cognitive blunting that makes traditional anxiolytics counterproductive for most users. Secondary benefits include improved memory consolidation and learning capacity.

Semax is a synthetic ACTH analogue that increases BDNF expression, the primary growth factor for neurons producing improvements in focus, information processing speed, memory formation, and cognitive resilience. It also has neuroprotective effects that make it popular for recovery from neurological stress and cognitive fatigue.

Both are available in lyophilized vial format for protocols requiring precise concentration control, and in nasal spray format for needle free administration. Intranasal delivery is the most researched route for both compounds if you’re running a daily nootropic protocol and prefer to avoid injections, our nasal spray versions of Selank and Semax are in the Nasal Sprays category.

Weight Management Peptides | Semaglutide & Tirzepatide

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are GLP-1 receptor agonists, the most clinically validated weight loss compounds currently available in any format. Semaglutide is the active compound in Ozempic and Wegovy, working by regulating appetite signaling and slowing gastric emptying for sustained reductions in caloric intake. Tirzepatide adds dual GIP receptor agonism for compounded appetite suppression and improved metabolic efficiency, it is the next generation of GLP-1 therapy in terms of outcomes.

In lyophilized vial format, both require reconstitution before use and allow for precise dose escalation, the standard protocol for GLP-1 peptides involves starting low and increasing gradually, which the vial format handles well for users who want granular control over their escalation schedule.

Reconstitution & Storage

Lyophilized peptides require reconstitution with bacteriostatic water before use. Bacteriostatic water is available in our Supplies & Accessories category. The general process: draw the required volume of bacteriostatic water into a syringe, inject slowly down the side of the vial not directly onto the powder and swirl gently until fully dissolved. Do not shake. Once reconstituted, store refrigerated and use within 30 days. Unreconstituted lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature away from light and heat, though refrigeration extends shelf life further.
