Why a Cost Breakdown Matters for Peptide Research
Peptide research is not cheap, and the costs are not always obvious until you are mid-protocol and recalculating your budget. A single 15mg vial of Retatrutide sounds straightforward until you account for dose escalation schedules, the supporting compounds in the stack, reconstitution supplies, and the fact that a serious research protocol runs 24–48 weeks, not 4. The difference between planning and sticker shock is a clear cost breakdown before you start.
This breakdown covers Clav Tides pricing — the supplier powering the Clavicular protocol — across every dose tier, with exact per-vial, per-week, and per-month figures. We have also included what Clav Tides' pricing looks like on a per-milligram basis against the pharmaceutical alternative (compounded GLP-1s), which is the most relevant comparison for researchers who want to understand what research-grade peptides actually cost relative to the broader market.
Clavicular Stack Compounds at a Glance
Value Tier Analysis: Three Levels of the Clavicular Stack
The Clavicular protocol scales across three tiers based on Retatrutide dose. Each tier uses the same BPC-157 support compound — the difference is the intensity of the primary weight-loss and recomposition agent. Choosing a tier is a function of research goals, tolerance for GI side effects during titration, and budget. Here is how the economics work at each level.
Starter Researcher
Retatrutide 10mg + BPC-157 10mg
→ 10mg Retatrutide vial supports approximately 2–3 weeks of research at 4mg/week starting dose, or approximately 1 week at target dose (8–10mg/week).
→ BPC-157 at 250mcg/day: 10mg vial supports 40 days of research — roughly one order per 5–6 weeks.
→ Best for: researchers who want to begin with lower titration doses or are new to GLP-1 peptide protocols.
→ At 4mg/week starting dose, a single 10mg vial supports 2.5 weeks — budget roughly 2 vials per month during initial titration.
Standard Researcher
Retatrutide 15mg + BPC-157 10mg
→ 15mg Retatrutide vial supports approximately 3–4 weeks at 4mg/week starting dose, or closer to 2 weeks at an 8mg/week maintenance dose.
→ The 15mg vial is the best value-per-milligram option: $89.99 ÷ 15mg = $6.00/mg vs $69.99 ÷ 10mg = $7.00/mg for the 10mg vial — approximately 14% cheaper per mg.
→ Best for: researchers who have already completed initial titration or are prepared to do a longer titration on a single vial.
→ Monthly cost is only $20 more than Tier 1, but delivers 50% more milligrams per vial as dose scales up.
Committed Researcher
Retatrutide 30mg (2×15mg) + BPC-157 10mg
→ Two 15mg vials (30mg total) supports approximately 3–4 weeks at 8mg/week maintenance dose, or about 2.5 weeks at 12mg/week (Phase 2 peak dose).
→ Best for: researchers running extended protocols at higher dose ranges as used in the Retatrutide Phase 2 NEJM trial.
→ Ordering 2 Retatrutide vials + 1 BPC-157 vial totals $229.97 — clears the $200 free shipping threshold on a single order.
→ At 12mg/week, this tier most closely replicates the highest-efficacy dose group from the published trial data (24.2% body weight reduction at 48 weeks).

Cost Per mg: Clav Tides vs. Pharmacy Alternatives
The most meaningful cost comparison for peptide researchers is price per milligram — because that is what you are actually paying for. Vial size and headline price can be misleading. Here is how Clav Tides' per-milligram pricing compares to the main alternatives available in 2026.
Price Per mg — Retatrutide (Research Grade vs. Alternatives)
Research grade, lyophilized. Requires BAC water and reconstitution. No prescription required.
Best value per mg available on Clav Tides. Same purity standard as 10mg. Recommended for researchers planning longer protocols.
Varies widely by pharmacy and formulation. Requires physician prescription. Typically pre-mixed in multi-dose vials. GLP-1 class compounding under regulatory scrutiny in 2026.
Ozempic/Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro/Zepbound (tirzepatide). Insurance may cover; cash pay very high. Retatrutide not yet FDA-approved.
The 10mg vs 15mg Vial Decision
For researchers planning to run a full protocol (12–24 weeks), the 15mg vial at $6.00/mg represents a meaningful saving over the 10mg at $7.00/mg — that is approximately 14% cheaper per milligram, compounding across the full protocol. On a 24-week course at 8mg/week (192mg total Retatrutide), the 15mg vial saves approximately $192 vs. sourcing entirely from 10mg vials. For researchers running shorter initial protocols or starting at very low titration doses (4mg/week), the 10mg vial offers lower upfront commitment at a slightly higher per-mg cost.
Price-Per-Week Breakdown by Protocol Phase
Protocol costs are not flat — they escalate during titration as weekly doses increase. Here is what the Clavicular stack actually costs week-by-week based on the standard titration schedule used in the Retatrutide Phase 2 trial, with 15mg vials as the Retatrutide source and BPC-157 at 250mcg/day.
Weekly Cost by Titration Phase (15mg Retatrutide + BPC-157)
→ BPC-157 cost calculated as: $49.99 per 10mg vial ÷ 40 doses (250mcg/day) = $1.25/day × 7 = ~$8.75/week.
→ Retatrutide cost calculated at $6.00/mg (15mg vial rate).
→ These are estimates based on per-mg rates — actual cost depends on order frequency and whether free shipping threshold is met.
What's Included vs. Not Included
Clav Tides' peptide pricing covers the lyophilized compounds only. A complete research setup requires a few additional items that are not included in the vial price. These are one-time or infrequent costs, but they matter for your first-order budget.
Included in Clav Tides Vial Price
- ✓Lyophilized peptide compound at stated mg
- ✓>98% purity verification standard
- ✓Research-grade manufacturing
- ✓Free shipping on orders over $200
- ✓Sealed vial with consistent lyophilized format
Not Included — Budget Separately
- →Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) — ~$8–12 per 30ml vial, lasts multiple reconstitutions
- →Insulin syringes (29–31 gauge, 0.5ml or 1ml) — ~$15–25 for 100-pack
- →Alcohol prep swabs — ~$5 for 100-pack
- →Sharps container for disposal — ~$10, one-time
- →Refrigeration — reconstituted peptides require 2–8°C storage
First-Order Setup Cost Estimate
For a researcher setting up for the first time, one-time supply costs add approximately $40–60 to the initial order. After the first month, ongoing costs are limited to the peptides themselves and periodic restocking of syringes and BAC water.
Full Cost Summary by Tier
Below is the complete picture for each tier — monthly peptide cost, first-month total including setup supplies, price per week, and cost-per-milligram for Retatrutide. Use this to determine which tier fits your research budget and goals.
Monthly estimates based on one Retatrutide vial + one BPC-157 10mg vial per month. Actual consumption varies based on dose and titration schedule. BPC-157 10mg vial supports approximately 5–6 weeks at 250mcg/day, so some months may not require a new BPC-157 vial.
The Free Shipping Math
Clav Tides' free shipping threshold is $200. The Committed Tier order (2×15mg Retatrutide + 1×BPC-157 10mg = $229.97) clears this automatically. The Standard Tier ($139.98) falls just below — adding a second BPC-157 vial to the order ($49.99 extra, total $189.97) or any other small addition crosses the threshold and eliminates shipping cost, making the effective per-unit cost lower. For researchers who order regularly, structuring orders to hit $200 consistently is the most efficient approach.
