Research peptide prices, compared
In short: The same research peptide vial is routinely priced two to three times higher at one vendor than at another. In PeptideComp's 9 October 2026 snapshot, the 10 mg MOTS-c vial ran $20.34–$49.50 across 22 vendors tracked by PeptideComp. Every figure on this page carries a check date and a recovered original source.
The single most useful fact about this market: the same catalogue item, in the same size, is routinely listed at two to three times the price at one vendor versus another. Below are dated snapshots of what vendors listed in October 2026: tracked asking prices from published listings, not records of completed sales, with vendor counts where trackers publish them and the date every figure was checked.

| BPC-157 (market context) | 10 mg vial | median ~$59 PeptideComp, 9 Oct 2026 |
Median verified (PeptideComp, 9 Oct 2026). |
| GHK-Cu (market context) | 100 mg vial | median $54 PeptideComp, 9 Oct 2026 |

Sources: PeptideComp and PeptidePrices vendor tracking; published vendor retail and trade listings. Semax nasal ~$42 and Epithalon nasal $52 are single-vendor 15 mL bottle listings (Sculptra, checked 24 Oct 2026). Blend trade benchmarks are from the Peptides Wholesale USA trade list (checked 24 Oct 2026). This market reprices weekly; treat any figure without a check date — here or anywhere — as stale.
Why the spread exists
- Testing costs money. Vendors who run batch-specific third-party HPLC and mass-spectrometry testing carry costs that no-testing vendors don't. Some of a higher price is real; none of it is verifiable without a published COA.
- Warehousing and handling differ. US-stocked product with cold-chain handling costs more than drop-shipped imports — a difference that grew after October 2026 customs changes for FDA-regulated mail.
- Immature markets misprice. MOTS-c's $20.34–$49.50 range across 22 vendors is not a quality gradient; it is a young market that has not settled. Newer compounds carry the widest spreads and the most room for error.
- Blends hide their math. A $150 blend vial can be cheaper or dearer than its components bought separately — the table above lets you check, which is the point of publishing it.
