How to check the quality of peptides
25 Oct 2017
The quality of peptides is, perhaps, the most important indicator determining the compliance of these preparations with their intended use. To each product issued by the manufacturer of pharmacological products, three basic requirements are set: safety, efficiency and a set of properties that determine the degree of its suitability. Unfortunately, for today the market of sports pharmaceuticals is literally flooded with counterfeit goods. Therefore, in order to be completely confident in the originality and quality of the acquired peptide, it is necessary to conduct an appropriate check.
Methods for testing the quality of peptides
The presence of protective elements on the bottles. Large producers, who are forced to take care of their reputation, independently control the quality of peptides, creating difficult to copy holographic labels or supplying each product with a verification code that can be easily verified on the manufacturer's website.
Personal feelings. It is absolutely free, and perhaps the easiest way to control quality, based on the subjective (internal) perception of a peptide by the body. True, this method has many disadvantages, since not all types of sports nutrition products are tested in this way. With its help, it is possible to determine the quality of GHRP2 and GHRP6 (they improve sleep and stimulate hunger after a short meal), melanotan-2, which causes blush and nausea after injection, Gonadorelin, which significantly enhances libido and PEG-MGF, Significantly improves mood and muscle pumping.
Analysis of the level of STH. With the help of this technique, the quality of peptides stimulating the production of growth hormone is checked. This group includes Ipamorelin, Hexarelin, Somatokrinin, etc. The blood test should be taken in the morning, on an empty stomach, no later than 40-50 minutes after the injection. The downside of this check is the inability to determine the degree of quality of the peptide.
Method of chromatography. To date, this analytical study is considered the most informative. With its help, the degree of purification of any drug is determined, regardless of its group and class. However, this is quite expensive, which not everyone can afford.
