Quick answer: among vendors with at least six exact, in-stock matches across the eight-item basket, Volta Peptides recorded the lowest overall price index. Its basket index was 29.3% below the cross-vendor median, earning the benchmark’s top price score of 100. Eppix Labs followed at 95.0. The result is price-only; it is not a quality, safety, or reliability ranking.
A practical Canadian benchmark built from exact, single-vial storefront prices—not teaser prices or coupon-only offers.

This guide compares public prices for common research compounds sold to Canadian laboratories. It answers a narrower and more useful question than “who has the cheapest vial?”: who is consistently inexpensive after product identity, labelled quantity, pack size, currency, stock status and discount conditions are aligned?
Research-use context: This is market-pricing analysis, not medical advice, legal advice or a recommendation to purchase or use any compound.
Key takeaways
- Volta leads the comparable basket. Its index of 70.7 means its matched prices averaged about 29.3% below the product medians; it posted the lowest live price on four of eight benchmarks.
- Lowest on one product does not mean lowest overall. Eppix led on tirzepatide and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin; Kits led on GHK-Cu. Consistency across the basket put Volta first overall.
- Comparability changes the result. A 55 mg vial was not compared with a 50 mg vial, multipacks were excluded, and “from” prices without a visible variant mapping were not scored.
- The displayed price is not always the landed cost. Shipping, tax, foreign exchange and any import-related charges can change the final total.
- Price is only one procurement dimension. A useful COA should connect the tested sample to the vial through a batch identifier and report methods, dates and results—not merely a headline purity percentage.
What this benchmark measures
Prices and stock status were refreshed from official public storefront pages and structured product data on September 12, 2026. [1] The comparison uses eight commonly listed formats:
- BPC-157 10 mg
- Retatrutide 20 mg
- Tirzepatide 10 mg
- GHK-Cu 50 mg
- KPV 10 mg
- KLOW 80 mg
- CJC/IPA 5+5 mg
- Tesamorelin 10 mg
The matching rules
- Same compound and labelled quantity. Blends had to match total quantity and composition; CJC/IPA means CJC-1295 without DAC 5 mg plus Ipamorelin 5 mg.
- One vial, one-time purchase. Multipacks, subscriptions, wholesale tiers and automatic quantity discounts were excluded.
- Public price before a coupon code. A visible sale available to any visitor could be used; email codes and checkout-only coupons were not.
- Live, in-stock listings for the score. Out-of-stock prices are shown where useful but excluded from medians and scoring.
- CAD normalization. USD listings were converted at C$ 1.3866 per US$1, the Bank of Canada daily rate for September 11, 2026. [2]
Fair comparisons control for vial size, pack count, discount conditions, currency and stock before prices enter the score.
Full price benchmark
How to read the tables: all normalized figures are Canadian dollars. “—” means no exact matched format found; OOS means excluded for stock; N/V means the site could not be verified; “from” means the page did not expose an exact variant-to-price mapping. † Currency not disclosed by the storefront, so the displayed amount is not treated as CAD.

The overall price score
A vendor must have at least six live exact matches to receive a score. For every matched product, its price is divided by that product’s market median. The geometric mean of those ratios is the vendor’s price index. The lowest qualifying index is normalized to a score of 100; other scores are relative to that leader.
Why a geometric mean? It gives proportional price differences comparable weight and prevents one unusually expensive or inexpensive item from dominating the basket.
Price index 100 = the cross-vendor median. Lower is cheaper. This score evaluates public price consistency only—not analytical quality, delivery, service, legitimacy or fitness for any purpose.
| Rank | Vendor | Matches | Price index | Vs median | Price score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Volta Peptides | 8/8 | 70.7 | -29.3% | 100.0 |
| 2 | Eppix Labs | 8/8 | 74.4 | -25.6% | 95.0 |
| 3 | Great Northern Peptides | 6/8 | 81.7 | -18.3% | 86.6 |
| 4 | VPeptide | 7/8 | 84.0 | -16.0% | 84.1 |

| 9 | Luxara Labs | 8/8 | 119.6 | +19.6% | 59.1 |
| 10 | Premier Peptides | 6/8 | 119.9 | +19.9% | 58.9 |
| 11 | Polar Peptides | 7/8 | 129.7 | +29.7% | 54.5 |

What the numbers actually say
- Volta: lowest overall index. Four live format wins—BPC-157 10 mg, retatrutide 20 mg, KPV 10 mg and KLOW 80 mg—and no benchmark item above the market median.
- Eppix: closest basket competitor. It led on tirzepatide 10 mg and CJC/IPA 5+5 mg and ranked second overall.
- Kits and GetMyPepti: selective low points. Kits had the lowest GHK-Cu 50 mg price; GetMyPepti was also slightly below Volta on that one format, but neither beat Volta across the full qualifying basket.
- Great Northern and VPeptide: strong partial baskets. Both ranked below the median across their matched products, though each lacked at least one exact format.
- Coverage matters. PeptiLab and Emerald had five exact matches and were therefore reported but not ranked; other vendors had still fewer, unclear currency, inaccessible pages or ambiguous variant mapping.
A vial price is not the same as value
For a first pass, divide price by the labelled milligrams. That makes different vial sizes easier to compare:
label-price per mg = vial price ÷ labelled mg
For repeated comparisons, the free Peptide Cost Per Milligram Calculator can normalize vial prices and quantities side by side. The calculation is useful regardless of vendor; the source price and date should still be recorded.
But labelled milligrams are still a claim. If a batch report provides measured net peptide content, a second calculation can estimate the cost per measured milligram. Purity percentage alone does not supply that number; the report also needs a quantitative content or mass result tied to the batch.
measured-content price per mg = vial price ÷ measured net peptide content
A useful price-per-measured-milligram calculation requires quantitative content data linked to the exact batch—not a purity percentage alone.
| Volta example | Vial price | Labelled amount | Label-price / mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPC-157 | $49.00 | 10 mg | $4.90 |
| Retatrutide | $110.00 | 20 mg | $5.50 |
| GHK-Cu | $35.00 | 50 mg | $0.70 |
| KLOW | $95.00 | 80 mg | $1.19 |
| KPV | $42.00 | 10 mg | $4.20 |
From sticker price to landed cost
For a Canadian order, the final comparison can be written as:
landed cost = item price + shipping + tax + FX spread + applicable import or brokerage charges
- Domestic does not always mean free shipping. A low vial price can lose its advantage on a small order if the shipping threshold is high.
- Foreign exchange is more than the benchmark rate. Card networks and payment providers can add a spread or separate fee.
- Cross-border eligibility is substance- and context-dependent. Health Canada and CBSA guidance should be checked for the specific material and intended research use; this article does not classify any product. [3], [4]
- A coupon should be treated as conditional. If it requires signup, subscription, quantity or a private code, compare both the conditional and unconditional totals.
COA and documentation checklist
A price benchmark should not be turned into a quality ranking without examining underlying evidence. Before treating a COA as meaningful, check for:
- Batch traceability. The report identifier or batch number should match the product or vial being evaluated.
- Laboratory identity. Look for the testing laboratory, report date and a way to verify the report independently.
- Method and result. “99%+” is not enough by itself. The report should state the method and provide the relevant output or result.
- Identity versus purity versus content. These are different questions. A clean chromatogram does not automatically establish the amount in a vial.
- Recency and lot coverage. A current product page paired with an old, unrelated or generic certificate is weak evidence.
- Scope of testing. Microbial, endotoxin, residual-solvent and sterility testing are separate from peptide identity or chromatographic purity; do not assume one test covers another.
A 60-second comparison routine
-
Match the exact format. Compound, salt or modification, blend composition, labelled quantity and vial count all need to align.
-
Capture the unconditional price. Record regular or public sale price, currency, date and stock status.
-
Calculate label-price per mg. Use it to compare different vial sizes, but keep blends separate unless compositions match.
-
Estimate landed cost. Add shipping, tax and realistic FX/payment costs.
-
Open the actual batch documentation. Check identity, dates, methods and quantitative content before interpreting price as value.
Frequently asked questions
Why are some cells blank or marked N/V?
A blank dash means no exact matched product was found. N/V means the storefront could not be verified during the collection window. Neither is treated as an infinite price or used against the vendor.
Why exclude multipacks and subscription prices?
They mix price with commitment. A single-vial, one-time benchmark is easier to reproduce and better reflects the entry price available to any visitor.
Which vendor was most competitive overall in this benchmark?
Volta Peptides had the lowest qualifying price index: 70.7 across eight exact matches, or 29.3% below the product medians. It therefore received the top relative price score of 100. Eppix Labs ranked second at 95.0.
Does a low price score prove product quality?
No. The score is deliberately price-only. Quality assessment requires batch-level analytical evidence, documentation review and, when warranted, independent testing.
Methodology, limitations and disclosure
- Collection window. September 12, 2026; Bank of Canada FX observation dated September 11, 2026.
- Universe. The vendor list supplied for this article plus Toronto Peptides, PeptidePro Canada and ReVICO Labs retained from the earlier benchmark. Duplicate Neurolabs entries were counted once.
- Observed—not endorsed. Inclusion means only that a public listing was found or access was attempted. It is not an approval, safety finding or legal classification.
- Structured-data caveat. Store APIs and JSON-LD can lag a visual storefront. Ambiguous ranges were flagged rather than reverse-engineered.
- Score threshold. At least six exact, live matches. This reduces the chance that a vendor with only one unusually cheap item wins the overall basket.
- Commercial disclosure. Volta Peptides sells research peptides and benefits from a favourable comparison. To constrain that conflict, the benchmark publishes its basket, inclusion rules, dated sources, missing-data treatment and complete qualifying ranking. The price result should be independently refreshed before publication.
