Research Peptide Price Index 2026
Cost per milligram, vial-size savings and bulk pricing across the Nuva research catalog.
Key findings
- Median cost: $4.00 per mg across 10 lyophilized single-compound peptides (range $0.08–$7.00).
- Bigger vials save more: the largest BPC-157 vial costs 50% less per mg than the smallest.
- Bulk tiers: ordering 20+ units cuts the median to $3.00 per mg.
- Catalog scope: 33 products and 51 variations, every batch third-party tested with a COA.

Questions about this data
How much do research peptides cost per milligram?
In the Nuva catalog, lyophilized research peptides range from $0.08 to $7.00 per mg at single-unit prices, with a median of $4.00 per mg across 10 compounds.
Are larger peptide vials cheaper per mg?
Usually, yes. Across 6 compounds sold in more than one vial size, the largest vial lowers the cost per mg by up to 50% (BPC-157).
How do bulk discounts change the cost per mg?
Bulk tiers apply on top of vial pricing: 5-9 Units save 10%, 10-19 Units save 20%, 20+ Units save 25%. At the 20+ tier the median cost falls to $3.00 per mg.
How is this price index calculated?
Each lyophilized single-compound vial's list price is divided by its labeled milligram content. Blends, IU-labeled products, sprays, capsules and liquids are excluded because their content is not comparable per mg. Prices are single-unit USD list prices on the update date.
