GLP1S - semaglutide
Every price, divided down to the milligram.
Vendors sell this compound in different vial sizes at different prices, which makes sticker prices useless for comparison. So we divide every listing by its stated peptide content and rank what comes out.
Vendors pay us a commission when you buy through our links. It never changes the order — rows are sorted by measured price per mg, and every flag is computed from the data shown. Read the full disclosure
Ranked by $ per mg
Sprays listed after the vials, unrankedHow this page is funded: vendors listed here pay us a commission when you buy through our links. Commissions never change the ranking — rows are ordered by measured price per mg, and flags are computed from the data on this page. Sponsored placements, if any, are always labeled.

How to read these rows
Verify the COA
A certificate of analysis should come from an independent lab, reference the exact batch number on the label, and be recent. Vendor-issued documents without a named third-party lab carry less weight — the COA row links to what each vendor publishes.
Match the format
Lyophilized vials and sprays are different products with different concentrations. That is why sprays sit outside the $/mg ranking — compare vials to vials, sprays to sprays.
Count the total cost
Shipping fees, free-shipping thresholds and active discount codes can flip which vendor is actually cheapest for your order size. The $/mg figure is the baseline; the shipping and code details finish the math.
How we rank
Rows are ordered by price per mg: listed price divided by stated peptide content, excluding shipping and codes, so every vial competes on the same axis. Each row carries its own $/mg figure, so the size of the gap between vendors is visible, not just the order. Sprays follow the vials, unranked.
The best-documented testing flag goes to the vendor publishing batch-level, third-party certificates. The shipping flag goes to the fastest published delivery from a domestic warehouse. Data is re-checked on a schedule and each row carries its verification date.
Long-acting GLP-1 receptor investigational analog
Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist — the most-studied peptide for weight loss and metabolic health.
A 31-residue GLP-1 receptor agonist described in the peer-reviewed literature. Modified fatty-acid side chain confers extended half-life via albumin binding. For laboratory characterisation only.
GLP1-S — clinical & mechanistic profile
GLP1-S (Semaglutide) is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% homology to human GLP-1. A 2026 meta-analysis confirms 17.1% mean weight loss at 12 months, with tirzepatide showing superior results (-22.1%). Cardiovascular outcomes trials demonstrate significant reduction in MACE events. Ongoing research explores oral formulations and combination therapies.
Studied applications
- GLP-1 receptor agonism
- the primary mechanism triggering insulin secretion and metabolic effects
- Weight management
- extensive clinical trial data showing significant weight reduction
- Glycemic control
- proven efficacy in type 2 diabetes for HbA1c reduction
- Cardiovascular protection
- demonstrated reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events
- Long-acting design
- once-weekly injectable formulation due to DPP-4 resistance and albumin binding
Research constraints & safety notes
- FDA-APPROVED DRUG
- Prescription pharmaceutical products (GLP1-S, GLP1-S, GLP1-S) require medical supervision
- Research use is separate from clinical use—research compounds are not for human consumption
- Gastrointestinal side effects are common (nausea, vomiting, especially during dose escalation)
- Contraindications include personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2
- Not for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis
Full agonist (in vitro)
In-vitro cAMP assays report full agonism at the human GLP-1 receptor. The C18 fatty-acid modification is described in the literature as the structural driver of albumin-mediated extended half-life.

GLP1-S is a GLP-1 receptor agonist peptide analog (94% homology to human GLP-1). GLP1-S (Semaglutide) is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist with 94% homology to human GLP-1. A 2026 meta-analysis confirms 17.1% mean weight loss at 12 months, with tirzepatide showing superior results (-22.1%). Cardiovascular outcomes trials demonstrate significant reduction in MACE events. Ongoing research explores oral formulations and combination therapies. It has a molecular formula C187H291N45O59, mass 4113.58 Da. Common synonyms in the literature include Semaglutide, semaglutide, and Ozempic.
What it’s studied for
Investigation of GLP1-S to date is clinical-investigational, with the majority of citations concentrated in animal models and in-vitro assays rather than randomized controlled human trials. Published work referencing GLP1-S spans SUSTAIN clinical trial program: Series of Phase 3 trials establishing glp1-s's efficacy for type 2 diabetes. SUSTAIN-6 (n=3,297) demonstrated cardiovascular safety and 26% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. HbA1c reductions of 1.5-1.8% were consistently observed, STEP clinical trial program: Phase 3 trials for chronic weight management. STEP 1 (n=1,961) showed 14.9% mean weight loss vs 2.4% placebo over 68 weeks in adults with obesity. STEP 2-4 confirmed efficacy across different populations and treatment contexts, and SELECT cardiovascular outcomes trial: Large outcomes trial (n=17,604) in patients with established cardiovascular disease and overweight/obesity without diabetes. Demonstrated 20% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events, leading to expanded indications. Proposed mechanisms in the literature include GLP-1 receptor binding: selectively activates GLP-1R, a G protein-coupled receptor on pancreatic beta cells and cAMP/PKA pathway: triggers adenylate cyclase activation, increasing cyclic AMP and protein kinase A activity. None of this material describes therapeutic outcomes in humans, and No vendor listed here provides dosing guidance for GLP1-S outside laboratory research.
