How do you compare UK research peptide prices like for like?
To compare research peptide prices fairly, match the exact compound and the labelled mg per vial. Count only listings that are in stock and include VAT, then add postage for the order size you actually place. Price per mg is useful across vial sizes, but only once compound and purity specification match.
What counts as the same product?
- Same compound: CJC-1295 with DAC and without DAC are different molecules (3647 vs 3368 g/mol); Melanotan I and II are different peptides.
- Same labelled mass: a 5 mg vial is not comparable to a 10 mg vial on total price.
- Same form: a named blend is not comparable to a single compound.
- In stock: pre-order and out-of-stock prices are not offers.
How do VAT and postage change the comparison?
UK consumer prices are usually shown including VAT. HMRC's general VAT guide sets out how VAT applies to supplies. A price shown 'ex VAT' must be grossed up before comparing.
Postage is per order, not per vial, so its effect is largest on small orders. At Sable, delivery is free over £50; below that it is £5.90 to mainland UK and £9.50 to the Highlands and islands.
What does a worked comparison look like?
Ipamorelin shows why per-mg matters: at Sable the 10 mg vial (£8.94) cost less than the 5 mg vial (£14.97) on that date.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare peptide prices fairly?
Match compound and mg exactly, use in-stock VAT-inclusive prices, then add postage for your real basket.
Is price per mg always the best measure?
It is best across sizes of the same compound. Across different compounds it means little.
What is the cheapest research peptide supplier in the UK?
At the 16 October 2026 daily check, Sable was the lowest UK listing at every compound and size it lists that was matched at another UK seller.
