Key takeaways

  • A first-order peptide bundle should include supplies beyond the peptides — bacteriostatic water, syringes, alcohol pads.
  • Under $500 CAD covers a reasonable starter selection depending on which compounds you choose.
  • This is a purchasing framework, not a protocol recommendation.

New Canadian buyers often ask what a “starter bundle” looks like for research peptides at Prescott Bio. This guide walks through how to think about a first-order under a $500 CAD budget, including what supplies to include beyond the peptide vials themselves.

What should be in a first-order bundle?

Beyond the peptide itself, a functional first-order needs supplies to actually work with the material. Missing any of these means the vials sit in the fridge unused until you make another trip somewhere.

Bacteriostatic water. This is sterile water with a benzyl alcohol preservative, used for reconstituting lyophilized peptide powder. Available in 10ml or 30ml vials from Canadian medical supply vendors.

Insulin syringes. Standard U100 insulin syringes are what most researchers use for measuring reconstituted peptide draw volumes. 100-count boxes are the most common purchase unit.

Alcohol prep pads. For sterile technique at reconstitution and draw time. 100-count boxes are readily available.

A basic labelling method. Some people use a permanent marker; others use small adhesive labels. The point is to write concentration and reconstitution date on each vial so you don’t lose track.

What compounds fit under $500 CAD at Prescott Bio?

The specific answer depends on current pricing, which changes over time. Check the current catalogue at /peptides-canada for up-to-date prices. General shape:

Single-compound starter orders are usually well under $500 CAD for a single vial plus supplies. A 5mg or 10mg vial of most common peptides sits somewhere in the low-to-mid CAD hundreds, and supplies (bacteriostatic water, syringes, alcohol pads) add maybe $30-50 CAD.

Multi-compound orders push toward the $500 mark depending on what you pick. Two 10mg vials of common peptides plus supplies fits comfortably. Three vials might or might not depending on the specific compounds.

Larger vial sizes (30mg or 60mg vials of some compounds) push prices up individually but give better per-mg cost. If your use case supports a larger vial, it’s often better value even if the sticker price is higher.

How should you decide what to order?

Start with what you’re actually going to use. Ordering compounds you’re curious about but don’t have a defined research context for tends to result in vials sitting in the freezer until they expire.

Pick vial sizes that match consumption. A 1000mg NAD+ vial expires reconstituted within a couple of weeks — if you’ll only use a fraction of that, a 500mg vial makes more sense despite higher per-mg cost.

Consider adding one “utility” compound like BPC-157 that has broad research applicability alongside more specific compounds. But only if it’s actually useful for your work — no point ordering something you won’t touch.

What supplies should you order alongside?

Bacteriostatic water is the number one alongside-purchase. Without it you can’t reconstitute the vials. Order at least one 30ml vial or two 10ml vials for a typical first-order.

Insulin syringes — a box of 100 U100 insulin syringes lasts a long time and is inexpensive. Buy one box even if you only need a few for the first vial.

Alcohol prep pads — a box of 100 is a few dollars. Similar longevity to the syringes.

Optional: a small refrigerator container to organize peptide vials separately from food if you’re using a household fridge. Not required, but some buyers find it useful for organization and to keep vials from getting bumped around.

How does Prescott Bio’s shipping affect the bundle math?

Prescott Bio ships domestically within Canada from Richmond BC. Shipping is a flat CAD rate — check current shipping costs at checkout. There’s no international shipping fee, no customs risk, no brokerage.

That means your $500 CAD budget doesn’t get eaten by shipping in the way US-to-Canada orders often do. Total landed cost is close to the sticker price plus a small shipping charge.

Some vendors offer free shipping above a threshold. If Prescott Bio is running that promotion at the time of your order, that might affect whether you push slightly over $500 to hit free shipping or stay under with a small shipping charge.

What about buying supplies separately vs from Prescott Bio?

Prescott Bio’s primary catalogue is peptides. Supplies like bacteriostatic water, syringes, and alcohol pads may or may not be available depending on the current product mix. Check the catalogue for what’s currently offered.

If you need to source supplies separately, Canadian medical supply vendors carry bacteriostatic water, insulin syringes, and alcohol pads. Common sources include general medical supply websites and some pharmacies.

Ordering everything from one vendor is more convenient but sometimes not possible if the vendor doesn’t carry supplies. Ordering separately is fine but adds shipping charges from a second vendor.

What CoA questions should you ask before ordering?

For every peptide in the order, ask for the batch-specific CoA. Not a generic example CoA — the specific document for the specific batch that will ship to you.

Check that the CoA shows both HPLC purity and mass spec identity confirmation. Purity should be 98%+ for reputable material. Mass spec observed mass should match theoretical mass within a small tolerance.

Verify the CoA lists a named third-party analytical lab with contact information. Search the lab name to confirm it exists.

If the vendor can’t produce batch-matched CoAs, walk away — regardless of price or promotional claims.

What happens after you place the order?

Prescott Bio processes orders and ships from Richmond BC. Delivery timeline depends on your province — 1-2 business days for BC metro, 4-6 business days for Ontario and Quebec, 5-7 business days for Atlantic Canada.

When the package arrives, get the vials into freezer storage (for long-term) or refrigerator storage (for near-term use). The lyophilized material can handle brief room-temperature exposure during transit but shouldn’t sit on the counter for days after arrival.

Wait until you have supplies (bacteriostatic water, syringes, alcohol pads) before reconstituting. There’s no rush — lyophilized vials are stable for months to years in proper storage.

Questions Canadian buyers ask about this

Does Prescott Bio offer bundle discounts?

Check the current catalogue for any active bundle promotions. Bundle pricing when available typically offers a small discount for buying multiple compounds together.

What if my order arrives without supplies?

If Prescott Bio doesn’t carry the supplies you need at the time of your order, order them from a Canadian medical supply vendor. Bacteriostatic water, insulin syringes, and alcohol pads are widely available.

Can I return unopened peptide vials?

Return policies vary. Check Prescott Bio’s return policy for specifics. Some peptide vendors don’t accept returns of any kind due to the nature of the material; others accept returns of unopened vials within a certain window.

What if I go over $500?

The $500 is a framing budget, not a rule. If a larger vial size or additional compound makes sense for your use, the extra cost is often justified by per-mg savings or completeness of the order.

Should I order one big order or multiple small ones?

For first orders, smaller is easier — less to keep track of, less inventory to manage, less risk if you decide the vendor or compounds aren’t what you expected. Once established, larger orders save on shipping and often qualify for bundle discounts if available.
