Research use only

The suppliers on this site sell peptides labeled for laboratory research only. That label has real meaning, and it shapes what we will and won't publish.

What the label means

A research-use-only (RUO) product is sold for in-vitro and laboratory work. It is not an approved drug, and it is not a dietary supplement, cosmetic or food. It is not made or tested to the standards required for use in people or animals. Most research peptides sold online have not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any human use.

What this guide does

We help researchers compare suppliers on the things a lab cares about: independent testing, batch documentation, identity confirmation, handling and policies. We explain how to read certificates of analysis and lab reports.

What this guide doesn't do

We don't give dosing, injection, reconstitution-for-use, stacking or cycling information. We don't describe benefits or effects in people or animals, and we don't list suppliers that publish dosing tools, administration guides, or weight-loss and body claims. Nothing on this site is medical advice.

Age and local rules

This site is intended for adults aged 21 and over who work in research settings. Rules on buying and holding research compounds differ by country and state, and suppliers set their own conditions of sale. Check the rules that apply to you before ordering.

If you are looking for treatment

If you are interested in a peptide because of a health concern, speak to a licensed clinician. Approved peptide medicines exist for some conditions, and a clinician can tell you what is appropriate and legal for you.
