Metabolic Research Catalog

Metabolic research compounds including GLP-1, GLP-2 and GLP-3 receptor agonists and mitochondrial-derived peptides, supplied for in vitro study.

This group covers incretin receptor agonists and other compounds studied in metabolic signaling models. Several are offered at more than one vial size — compare the size and the listed specification together, since price per vial is not price per milligram. Nothing in this category is supplied for weight management in people or animals.

The incretin agonists in this group form a deliberate escalation. One listing is a single GLP-1 receptor agonist, one is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist, and one adds glucagon receptor agonism to that pair. Comparing them is the usual reason to order more than one. MOTS-c belongs to the same category but not to that series at all — it is a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied through AMPK activation, and it functions in a study design as a mechanistic contrast rather than as another agonist. The triple agonist is stocked at 10mg, 20mg and 30mg with identical material in each; compare those on price per milligram, not per vial.

Storage divides this category along the same line its pharmacology does. The five incretin listings are refrigerated at 2-8°C, with the semaglutide entry additionally recording protection from light; MOTS-c is the exception at -20°C with an explicit avoid-freeze-thaw instruction, which means it is aliquoted differently rather than simply stored colder. All six are supplied lyophilized, so none arrives at a concentration — that is set downstream by whoever reconstitutes it, and bacteriostatic water is stocked under Accessories. Because three of the six listings are the same material at different vial sizes, the batch documentation is the thing to compare rather than the listing, and a purity figure should be read alongside identity and content.

All compounds are strictly for research purposes only. Not for human consumption.

Metabolic Research Catalog questions

What is listed under Metabolic?

Six listings: GLP-1 Sema, GLP-2 Triz, GLP-3 Reta (10mg), GLP-3 Reta (20mg), GLP-3 Reta (30mg) and MOTS-c. 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 Metabolic stored?

This category spans three storage requirements, so they are not interchangeable on handling: GLP-1 Sema — refrigerate at 2-8°C, protect from light; GLP-2 Triz, GLP-3 Reta (10mg), GLP-3 Reta (20mg) and GLP-3 Reta (30mg) — refrigerate at 2-8°C; MOTS-c — store at -20°C, avoid freeze-thaw. 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 Metabolic need reconstitution?

GLP-1 Sema, GLP-2 Triz, GLP-3 Reta (10mg), GLP-3 Reta (20mg), GLP-3 Reta (30mg) and MOTS-c are supplied as lyophilized powder and require a diluent. 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.

Where a compound under Metabolic is listed at more than one size, how do the options compare?

GLP-3 Reta (10mg), GLP-3 Reta (20mg) and GLP-3 Reta (30mg) are the same material at three listed sizes. The specification recorded for each is the specification for that batch, so compare them on price per unit of material rather than price per vial — a larger vial is not a proportionally larger price, and the size options shown on each product page, together with the vial labelling in its images, are the reference for what a vial contains.

What purity is reported across Metabolic?

Reported purity differs by listing: 99.8% for GLP-1 Sema; 99% for GLP-2 Triz, GLP-3 Reta (10mg) and MOTS-c; 99%+ for GLP-3 Reta (20mg); 99.84% for GLP-3 Reta (30mg). Each figure is what was reported for that 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.
