Important: Free empty 10 ml vial included (HGH-Frag is gel-prone)
Every HGH-Frag order includes a free empty 10 ml vial. HGH-Frag can be gel-prone at higher concentrations. For best laboratory handling, we recommend preparing a minimum total volume of 5 ml after reconstitution to reduce the chance of gelling.
- Step 1: Reconstitute HGH-Frag in the original peptide vial with 2 ml of diluent.
- Step 2: Transfer the solution to the included empty 10 ml vial.
- Step 3: Add additional diluent to reach a minimum total volume of 5 ml.
Note: If HGH-Frag is reconstituted into too small a volume, it may gel, particularly with high-purity material.

About HGH-Frag in research
Researchers use HGH-Frag (176–191) to examine peptide fragment behaviour in cell systems, profile downstream second-messenger responses, and compare structure–activity relationships alongside other GH-axis reagents. These investigations occur exclusively in controlled, non-clinical in-vitro environments.
Synthesis & quality
Manufactured via controlled, validated peptide-synthesis processes to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity, purity, and appearance checks before release.
