How we check vendors

Four checks, the same for every vendor

No invented scores: every fact links to its source. Full method

  1. Step 1

    Read the vendor's own pages

    Product, shipping, refund and contact pages, each saved with a link and the date we checked it.

  2. Step 2

    Check the lab reports

    Is there a certificate of analysis for each lot, which lab ran it, and can it be looked up on the lab's own site?

  3. Step 3

    Add customer ratings

    Trustpilot rating and review count, with the date. No made-up star ratings.

  4. Step 4

    Score everyone the same way

    Seven published criteria and weights for every vendor, our partner included, with weak spots shown.

How we compare research peptide companies

Every company is scored on the same seven criteria. The weights reflect what matters most when you cannot test the material yourself: proof of identity and purity carries a quarter of the score.

  • Independent testing (25%): A certificate of analysis (COA) for each lot, from a named third-party lab such as Janoshik, Finnrick or Freedom Diagnostics, with the lot number and test date.
  • Price per mg (20%): Listed price per milligram across five commonly stocked research compounds, compared at the same vial size where possible.
  • US shipping and speed (15%): Ships from inside the United States, states a processing time, and offers tracked shipping with a clear free-shipping threshold.
  • Transparency (15%): One consistent business address and legal entity, a working contact channel, and published terms, shipping and refund policies.
  • Refund and reship policy (10%): A written policy for damaged, lost or incorrect orders, including reships, with clear time limits.
  • Catalogue and stock (10%): Range of research compounds and blends offered, and whether listed products are actually in stock.
  • Customer reviews (5%): Rating and number of reviews on independent platforms such as Trustpilot, read together with community discussion.

Facts come from each company's own product, policy and lab-testing pages and from independent review platforms. Each one is stored with its source and the date we checked it. Read the full methodology.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a research peptide company trustworthy?

The strongest signal is a certificate of analysis (COA) for each lot from a named third-party lab, with the lot number and test date. After that, look for one consistent business address, written shipping and refund policies, and a contact channel that answers.

How do you rank the companies?

Every company is scored 0-10 on seven criteria: independent testing (25%), price per mg (20%), US shipping (15%), transparency (15%), refund and reship policy (10%), catalogue and stock (10%) and customer reviews (5%). The weighted total gives a score out of 100.
