Do you require account registration to order? +

No account is required. You can checkout as a guest. However, you will need to provide a valid email address to receive order confirmation and tracking information.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing? +

Products
Are your products intended for human use? +

No. All products sold by Vital Chems are strictly for laboratory research purposes only. They are not intended for human or animal consumption.

What form do your peptides come in? +

Most peptides are supplied as lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in sealed, sterile glass vials. Some products are available as pre-dissolved liquids.

What is the purity of your products? +

All Vital Chems products are ≥99% purity, verified by HPLC analysis. COAs from independent third-party labs are available for every product.

How should I store my peptides? +

Lyophilized peptides should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light. For long-term storage, refrigerate at 2–8°C. Once reconstituted, peptides should be refrigerated and used within 30 days.

What is the shelf life of your products? +

Lyophilized peptides stored properly have a shelf life of 12–24 months from the manufacture date. Reconstituted peptides should be used within 30 days when refrigerated.

Shipping
How fast do you ship? +

Orders are processed and shipped within 48 hours on business days (Monday–Friday). You will receive a tracking number via email once your order ships.

Do you offer free shipping? +

Yes. Free shipping is available on all US orders over $90 and all international orders over $250.

Which countries do you ship to? +

We ship to the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and select other countries.

How long does shipping take? +

US orders typically arrive in 3–5 business days. International orders typically take 7–14 business days depending on destination and customs processing.

Is my order packaged discreetly? +

Yes. All orders are shipped in plain, unmarked packaging with no product information on the outside. The return address is listed as Vital Chems.

Quality & Testing
Are your products third-party tested? +

Yes. Every product in our catalog is independently tested by a certified third-party laboratory for identity, purity, and concentration before it is offered for sale.

Where can I view the Certificates of Analysis (COAs)? +

COAs are available in our Lab Results library, accessible from the navigation menu. Each COA includes the batch number, HPLC purity data, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and the testing lab's details.

How do I verify my product matches the COA? +

Each vial is labeled with a batch number that corresponds to a specific COA in our library.

What testing methods do you use? +

We use HPLC for purity analysis and Mass Spectrometry for molecular identity confirmation. These are the gold standard methods for peptide quality verification.

Reconstitution
What solution should I use to reconstitute peptides? +

Most peptides are reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water). Some peptides such as IGF-1 LR3 require 0.6% Acetic Acid solution.

How do I reconstitute a lyophilized peptide? +

Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject the reconstitution solvent down the side of the vial — do not inject directly onto the powder. Gently swirl until fully dissolved.

How much BAC water do I add to reconstitute? +

This depends on the peptide and your intended concentration. A common method is to add 1–2mL of BAC water per vial.

How should I store reconstituted peptides? +

Store reconstituted peptides in the refrigerator at 2–8°C. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides as this can degrade them. Use within 30 days of reconstitution for best results.

Returns & Refunds
What is your return policy? +

Due to the nature of research chemicals, we cannot accept returns on opened products. Unopened products may be returned within 14 days of receipt in their original, sealed condition.

What if I receive a damaged or incorrect product? +

If you receive a damaged vial, wrong product, or there is an issue with your order, contact us at support@vitalpeptides.bio within 7 days of receipt with photos of the issue.

How long do refunds take to process? +

Once a return is approved and received, refunds are processed within 3–5 business days back to the original payment method.

My order never arrived — what do I do? +
