Peptide half-life and why it matters in research

A short explainer on peptide half-life and how modifications like DAC change it.

What half-life means

Half-life describes how long a peptide persists before half of it has cleared in a given model. It is a key variable in research design.

Why modifications change it

Structural modifications change stability. For example, the DAC modification on some GHRH analogues extends persistence, which is why CJC-1295 without DAC behaves differently from the DAC version.

Research context

Half-life is studied in laboratory and in-vitro models only.

Frequently asked questions

Are StarTide peptides for human use?

No. All products are supplied strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research use only.

How fast is delivery in Australia?

Tracked express post, 1–3 business days to most Australian addresses; same-day dispatch before 3pm AEST.
