Research peptides supplied strictly for laboratory and scientific research purposes occupy a different regulatory category than pharmaceutical drugs approved for human use. Peptides sold as research compounds — not as drugs, natural health products, or products intended for human use — are not the same as approved pharmaceutical products under the Food and Drugs Act. TrueCan Peptides supplies research compounds for laboratory use only, and all products are clearly positioned as research compounds, not human-use products. Researchers with specific legal or compliance questions for their institution should consult appropriate legal counsel.

Health Canada regulates substances intended for human use, including prescription drugs, natural health products, and food products. Research compounds intended for laboratory use and not for human administration or consumption are a distinct category. TrueCan Peptides does not sell products for human use, and all products are supplied for laboratory and research purposes only. For specific regulatory interpretation, consult Health Canada’s official guidance or a qualified regulatory professional.

Research-grade peptide compounds for laboratory use can be sourced through suppliers like TrueCan Peptides. Our products are available for purchase by qualified researchers and laboratory professionals across Canada. All purchases are subject to our terms of service, which confirm that products are for research and laboratory use only. We do not sell to individuals for personal use or human administration.

Pharmaceutical peptides are approved drug products that have undergone rigorous clinical trials and received regulatory authorization for specific medical applications. They are dispensed through regulated pharmacy channels with a prescription. Research peptides are laboratory compounds supplied for scientific investigation — they have not gone through the pharmaceutical approval process and are not approved for medical or therapeutic use. TrueCan Peptides supplies research peptides only, not pharmaceutical products.

No. TrueCan Peptides does not sell Health Canada-approved pharmaceutical products. Our products are research compounds for laboratory use only. They are not drugs, they have not been evaluated by Health Canada for therapeutic use, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document from an independent, third-party analytical laboratory confirming the identity and purity of a specific compound batch. A COA for a research peptide typically includes HPLC purity results, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, batch number, testing date, and physical appearance. COAs matter because they provide verifiable evidence that the compound is what it claims to be and that it meets purity standards — essential information for valid research. All TrueCan Peptides products are backed by third-party COA documentation. Learn more on our Peptide Purity and Testing page.

TrueCan Peptides ships research compounds domestically within Canada. Products are shipped as research compounds with appropriate labelling. Lyophilized peptides are packaged to minimize temperature and moisture exposure during transit. We do not ship outside of Canada at this time.

We currently accept Interac e-Transfer (EMT) as our primary payment method. Additional payment options may be available — see the checkout page for current accepted payment methods. All transactions are subject to our terms of service.

No. TrueCan Peptides ships within Canada only. We do not process international orders at this time.

You must be 19 years of age or older to purchase from TrueCan Peptides. By completing a purchase, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement and that you are acquiring research compounds for laboratory or research use only.

No. All products sold by TrueCan Peptides are for research and laboratory use only. They are not intended for human consumption, self-administration, or any therapeutic or clinical application. We do not provide dosing instructions, cycling protocols, or guidance related to human use. If you are seeking a pharmaceutical product for medical purposes, consult a licensed healthcare professional and use a licensed pharmacy.

Lyophilized research peptides should generally be stored at -20°C or colder in a sealed container protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted for laboratory use, working solutions should be stored at 4°C or lower and used within an appropriate timeframe per laboratory protocols. Aliquoting reconstituted stocks is a standard practice to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. For detailed guidance, see our Peptide Storage and Handling page.
