Sexual Health Research Catalog

Melanocortin receptor peptides and related research compounds, including PT-141, MT-2 and tadalafil.

Compounds here are grouped by the receptor systems their published research addresses, not by any effect. Tablet and lyophilized formats appear side by side; a tablet format does not establish suitability for consumption. Request documentation for the specific batch before laboratory use.

The two peptides and the small molecule in this group act at different levels of the same broad research area, which is the main thing to establish before ordering. PT-141 and MT-2 are melanocortin receptor agonists studied for central nervous system signaling; MT-2 binds across MC1R through MC5R while PT-141, its metabolite, shifts toward MC3R and MC4R, so the pair is often run together to isolate a receptor. Tadalafil is not a peptide at all — it is a PDE5 inhibitor acting on vascular smooth muscle through cyclic GMP, which makes it the peripheral-mechanism comparator against the central ones. Tablet packaging does not establish suitability for consumption.

Two handling regimes sit side by side here. PT-141 and MT-2 are lyophilized peptides refrigerated at 2-8°C and protected from light; tadalafil is a small molecule supplied as tablets and held at room temperature in a sealed container. That is not a packaging preference — a synthetic peptide and a small-molecule tablet degrade by different routes and on different timescales, which is why one requires cold chain and the other does not. The peptides need a diluent and the tablets do not; bacteriostatic water is stocked under Accessories. Tablet packaging establishes nothing about suitability for consumption. Request the batch documentation for the specific material and read reported purity alongside identity and content.

Sexual Health Research Catalog questions

What is listed under Sexual Health?

Three listings: MT-2, PT-141 and Tadalafil-20mg. Each is grouped here by the research area its published literature addresses, not by any effect. Open a listing to read its description, the sizes offered and the specifications recorded for it.

How are the listings under Sexual Health stored?

This category spans two storage requirements, so they are not interchangeable on handling: MT-2 and PT-141 — refrigerate at 2-8°C, protect from light; Tadalafil-20mg — room temperature, sealed container. Each product page carries its own storage line, and that is the one that governs. How stable is a lyophilised peptide in storage? covers what temperature and residual moisture do to dried material.

Which listings under Sexual Health need reconstitution?

MT-2 and PT-141 are supplied as lyophilized powder and require a diluent; Tadalafil-20mg is a solid oral format and needs no reconstitution. Bacteriostatic water is stocked separately in 3mL and 10mL vials. Savage Labs does not specify a reconstitution volume, a working concentration, or a basis for calculating either — those are determined by the protocol the material is used in, not by this catalog.

Why does Sexual Health list more than one preparation?

Because the preparation is part of what is being compared. This category carries lyophilized powder: MT-2 and PT-141; oral tablets: Tadalafil-20mg. A mass in a vial and a strength per unit with a count are not comparable by weight, so the two are read differently: one states how much material is present, the other how much is present per unit and how many units there are. Packaging format describes the container and establishes nothing about a route of administration.

What purity is reported across Sexual Health?

Every listing in this category with a purity figure records 99%, as reported for the batch. A purity figure is a chromatographic measurement and does not on its own establish identity or how much peptide a vial holds — purity, identity and content are three separate measurements. Ask for the batch documentation covering the material you intend to order.
