Advanced Novel Form Factors
Metered intranasal delivery is the standard research route for neuropeptides and melanocortins because it exploits olfactory and trigeminal nerve transport pathways into the CNS.
Compounds deposited on the olfactory epithelium can travel along perineural and perivascular channels directly into the CNS, bypassing the blood-brain barrier that blocks most peptides administered systemically.
Nootropic peptides (Semax, Selank) and melanocortin agonists (PT-141) are the most frequently studied intranasal formats.

Need solvent? Buy bacteriostatic water (10mL / 30mL)
Intranasal delivery uses olfactory nerve transport to reach the CNS directly, which is the pathway of interest for nootropic and melanocortin research.
A lyophilized vial is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and transferred to a metered nasal pump that delivers a fixed volume per actuation.
