Kits vs single vials: why the price per mg differs so much

Every price on PeptidesGrid is converted to US dollars per milligram. The biggest surprise is usually the gap between a 10-vial kit and a single vial of the same peptide. In the Sep 25, 2026 data for four widely listed peptides, the median single vial cost about 5 to 8.5 times as much per mg as the median kit. Both prices are real.

Vendors sell these compounds as research chemicals, not for human use. This guide compares prices only.

What "kit" means on this site

A kit is any pack of 5 or more vials. Most are 10 vials of the same peptide at the same size, sold as one item. A single vial is a pack of 1. Packs of 2 to 4 vials are rare; they count toward a peptide's overall median but not toward the kit or single-vial medians.

Some listings don't state a vial count. When a store sells the product as a kit, or sells only 10-vial kits, the site counts it as 10 vials and marks the pack size with an asterisk.

How the per-mg number works

Each listing is reduced to one figure: the listed price divided by milligrams per vial times vials in the pack, converted to US dollars at European Central Bank rates. Two examples with round numbers:

The kit costs more at checkout but holds ten times the material, so its price per mg is far lower.

The gap in the Sep 25, 2026 data

Medians for four of the most listed peptides. The last column is the median price of the whole pack, which is what you pay upfront. Likely listing errors are left out.

PeptideKit, $/mgSingle vial, $/mgSingle vs kitMedian price, kit / single
Retatrutide$0.96$7.838.2x$235 / $160
Tirzepatide$0.56$4.758.5x$155 / $128
BPC-157$1.00$6.406.4x$84 / $50
TB-500$1.85$8.994.9x$132.50 / $65

Kits outnumber single vials for these peptides. Retatrutide had 227 kit listings and 78 single-vial listings; BPC-157 had 72 and 59. Because each peptide's overall median mixes both tiers, it can sit far from either one: BPC-157's overall median was $3.60 per mg, between its kit median of $1.00 and its single-vial median of $6.40.

Why kits cost less per mg

This market has two tiers. Factory-direct sellers mostly sell 10-vial kits. US resellers mostly sell single vials, and their price covers local stock, domestic shipping, customer service and, at some stores, their own testing. The site shows both tiers and marks a listing as a likely error only when it sits far outside both.

How to compare them on the site

  1. Open a peptide page. The first line gives the kit and single-vial medians.
  2. Use the pack filter to show "Single vials" or "Kits (5+ vials)" only.
  3. Compare the $/mg column, not the price column.
  4. Untick "Best per store" to see every size and pack a store sells. By default the table shows each store's cheapest matching listing.
  5. Tick "Finnrick-listed only" to keep stores on a domain Finnrick lists for the vendor, and "In stock only" to drop sold-out listings.

Trade-offs buyers weigh

Prices change daily; each peptide page shows the current medians, and the method page explains every step.

Figures are from the site's Sep 25, 2026 build: medians of listed prices, likely listing errors excluded. Last reviewed Sep 25, 2026.
