Overview
Integrative Peptides focuses on peptide supplements (oral/capsule forms) rather than injectable research peptides. This positions them as wellness/supplement company vs. research chemical supplier—different market, different legal status, different efficacy profile.
Key Distinction: Supplement-grade oral peptides, not injectable therapeutic peptides. Lower potency, different applications, less legal ambiguity.
Product Focus
Peptide Supplements (Oral/Capsule):
- Collagen peptides for skin/joints
- Bioactive peptide complexes
- Wellness formulations
- Integrative health blends
Pricing: $35-120 per product
Not Offered: Injectable BPC-157, TB-500, CJC/Ipamorelin (the therapeutic peptides most users seek)
Oral vs. Injectable Peptides
Bioavailability Problem
Injectable peptides: Near 100% bioavailability Oral peptides: 5-20% bioavailability (most degraded by digestive enzymes)
Therapeutic peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, CJC/Ipamorelin): Designed for injection. Oral forms have questionable efficacy.
Collagen peptides: Oral bioavailability is reasonable (different peptide structure).
Who This Works For
- Users wanting collagen supplementation (skin, joints)
- Those avoiding injections entirely
- Wellness-focused (not therapeutic peptide users)
- People uncomfortable with research chemical legal status
Who This Doesn’t Work For
- Users seeking BPC-157 for injury healing (need injectable)
- CJC/Ipamorelin for GH optimization (must be injected)
- Therapeutic peptide applications (oral forms ineffective)
Legal Status
Less Legal Ambiguity: Sold as dietary supplements, not “research chemicals.” More legitimate regulatory status than injectable research peptides.
Trade-off: Lower therapeutic potency due to oral delivery limitations.
Integrative Peptides vs. Injectable Research Suppliers
| Factor | Integrative Peptides | Ascension Peptides |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Oral supplements | Injectable research |
| Bioavailability | 5-20% | ~100% |
| Legal Status | Supplements | Research (grey area) |
| Applications | Wellness, collagen | Therapeutic healing |
| Price | $35-120 | $30-150 |
| Ease of Use | Easy (oral) | Requires injection |
Who Should Choose Integrative Peptides
Good for:
- Collagen peptide supplementation (skin, hair, joints)
- Users avoiding all injections
- Wellness/preventive approach (not therapeutic)
- Those wanting clearest legal status
Not suitable for:
- Injury healing (BPC-157 injectable needed)
- GH optimization (CJC/Ipamorelin must be injected)
- Therapeutic peptide applications
- Users wanting maximum efficacy
Bottom Line
Integrative Peptides serves the peptide supplement market (oral collagen, wellness blends), not the therapeutic peptide market (injectable BPC-157, CJC/Ipamorelin).
Different product category entirely. If you want collagen supplements, this works. If you want BPC-157 for tendon healing or CJC/Ipamorelin for GH, you need injectable forms from research suppliers or medical clinics.
Choose Integrative Peptides if: You want oral collagen/peptide supplements for wellness. Avoid injections entirely.
Choose research suppliers if: You need therapeutic injectable peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, CJC/Ipamorelin).
Choose medical clinic if: You want therapeutic peptides with medical supervision and maximum safety.
