Is tirzepatide available in Canada? What is sold here
Research-grade tirzepatide is sold in Canada for lab use. How it differs from Mounjaro, how it keeps at room temperature, and how to pick a source.
Published September 24, 2026
Yes. Tirzepatide is available in Canada as a research chemical for laboratory use, and that is the only form pepuro sells it in. It ships within Canada as a freeze-dried powder, with a lab report for every batch. A research vial is not Mounjaro and is not a medicine.
| Peptide | Vial sizes | From |
|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide | 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, 60mg | $42.99 CAD |
| Semaglutide | 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 30mg | $42.99 CAD |
| Retatrutide | 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 30mg, 40mg, 50mg, 60mg | $53.99 CAD |

What tirzepatide is, and how it relates to Mounjaro
Tirzepatide is a synthetic 39-amino-acid peptide that activates two receptors, GIP and GLP-1. Eli Lilly developed it. Mounjaro is Lilly's brand name for its licensed medicine containing tirzepatide.
What differs is the product. A research vial and a branded medicine can share a sequence and still be entirely different things in law and in manufacture. Mounjaro is a finished, regulated pharmaceutical. A research vial is lyophilized peptide sold for in-vitro lab work, with no drug approval behind it.
| Receptors | GIP and GLP-1 |
| Developer | Eli Lilly |
| Formula | C225H348N48O68 |
| Molecular weight | 4813.45 g/mol |
| CAS | 2023788-19-2 |
| Vial sizes we sell | 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mg |

Is research-grade tirzepatide legal to buy in Canada?
Research peptides, tirzepatide included, are bought and sold in Canada as research chemicals for laboratory use. Marketing, selling or using them as drugs for human consumption is not permitted. The line is intended use, not the molecule. Are research peptides legal in Canada? covers that distinction in full.
In practice this means a compliant supplier describes the molecule and proves what is in the vial, and nothing more. Any seller offering human-use guidance for tirzepatide is marketing it as a drug. This page is general information, not legal advice.
How long tirzepatide keeps at room temperature
The answer depends on whether the vial is still dry.
| State | Room temperature | Fridge (2 to 8°C) | Freezer (about -20°C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized, sealed | Fine in transit and briefly on the bench | A few weeks | Months to a year or more |
| Reconstituted | Keep it off the counter | Weeks, not months | Only as single-use aliquots |
Freeze-drying removes the water, so the powder has very little to react with. That is why a tirzepatide vial ships without a cold pack and why a parcel that arrives warm is normal. Once water goes in, the solution is far less stable and the clock starts. The tirzepatide handling guide has the concentration table, and how to store research peptides explains the freezer and fridge rules.
Which tirzepatide source to trust
Every tirzepatide seller says their product is pure. The report is what separates them. Check these before ordering:
- A report for your batch. A PDF on a product page only shows that some batch was tested once, so the QR code on your vial should open the report for its own batch.
- A named, independent lab, because an unnamed lab might be the seller.
- An observed mass near 4813.45 g/mol. Retatrutide is 4731.32 and semaglutide is 4113.58, so the mass-spec line tells the three apart.
- HPLC purity at 99% or higher.
- Domestic shipping, which keeps the parcel clear of customs holds and import fees.
- Research-use terms stated plainly, with no human-use claims anywhere on the site.
How to choose a peptide supplier in Canada turns this into a 30-second vetting routine, and how to read a peptide lab report explains each line of the certificate. For shipping and customs, see buying research peptides in Canada.
Every tirzepatide vial from pepuro ships free, from our Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver distribution centers, the same business day your e-Transfer clears, with a QR code on the vial that opens its independent, third-party lab report.
For research use only. Not for human or animal consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Is tirzepatide available in Canada?
+
Research-grade tirzepatide is available in Canada from research chemical suppliers, sold for laboratory use only. It ships domestically as a lyophilized powder. A research vial is not a medicine and is not sold as one.
Is tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro?
+
Tirzepatide is the molecule. Mounjaro is Eli Lilly's brand-name medicine that contains it. A research vial holds the same peptide sequence, but it is a research chemical with no drug approval, sold for laboratory use only.
How long is tirzepatide good at room temperature?
+
As a sealed, lyophilized powder it is stable at room temperature for shipping and short stretches on the bench. For weeks, keep it in a fridge, and for months, a freezer at about -20°C. Once reconstituted it belongs in the fridge at 2 to 8°C, not on the counter.
Which tirzepatide source is best?
+
The one that can prove what is in your vial. Look for a report tied to your vial's batch, a named independent lab, an observed mass near 4813.45 g/mol, HPLC purity at 99% or higher, and domestic shipping.
Is research-grade tirzepatide approved by Health Canada?
+
No. A research vial carries no drug approval of any kind. For the status of any medicine in Canada, Health Canada's Drug Product Database is the authority, not a supplier's website.
