Umbrella Labs blog: research guides

What the Umbrella Labs blog covers

We write about the four areas researchers ask us about most. The research peptides guide is the place to start if you’re new to peptides. It sorts our most requested peptides into metabolic, repair, growth hormone and longevity research, and explains the difference between vials, blends, sprays and capsules.

BPC-157 has its own guide because it comes in more formats than anything else we sell. The SARMs guide covers the selective androgen receptor modulators and the related compounds stocked with them, like MK-677 and cardarine. The nootropics guide sorts more than 250 products into groups you can actually browse: racetams, peptide nootropics, wakefulness compounds, choline sources and newer research compounds.

How we write the research guides

Each guide sticks to what’s been published. When most of the evidence for a compound comes from animal studies, we say so. When a compound has never been tested in people, we say that too. We link to PubMed where it helps, so you can read the original papers yourself.

We don’t give dosing advice. Everything Umbrella Labs sells is for laboratory research use only, and the guides are written for researchers planning studies.
