Storefronts selling research peptides say the same four things: tested, pure, trusted, fast. We open a file on each one and find out which of those words has a document behind it.
What the desk does
For each storefront we read the public pages, try to open every certificate they point to, look for the company in the fda.gov database and in whatever registry its stated address falls under, and stamp eight checks. A formula with published weights turns the record into a letter, which we press on the file as a seal. The method is written out in full and the dataset can be downloaded, so the seal can be reproduced by anyone with a spreadsheet.
Why there is no ranking
A table sorted by score tells a reader that the desk has weighed two companies against each other and prefers one. We have not done that. We have checked each one against the same list. So the registry is alphabetical, the filtered lists are alphabetical, and the side-by-side pages print two ledgers and name the checks that differ without declaring a winner.
Who sits at it
A small group with working experience inside the research-peptide supply trade. That experience is why the ledger asks the questions it does. It is also a conflict of interest, which is why the seal is pressed by formula rather than by hand and why the disclosure exists. Where a storefront in the registry is connected to the people behind this desk, its file says so.
What the desk refuses to do
- Print customer reviews, testimonials or star ratings, on the page or in the markup.
- Accept money for inclusion, position, wording or a seal.
- Say anything about using the material for anything other than laboratory research. Nothing here is medical advice.
- Delete an accurate fact against a storefront at its request. Fields change when evidence changes; see corrections.
- Expand a coded product name. We quote listings exactly as the storefront writes them.
