Unless otherwise proven, you should not order from these popular peptide sites.
I have had 0 luck getting HPLC or Mass-Spec (or any lab analysis) from any of the major peptide/research liquid suppliers.
I called and emailed the following sources and have determined they are likely fake:
-BlueSky
-RUI
-Geo
-Extreme
-USA Peptides
-Maxim
The only real source I know of is EnchancedChemicals, but they no longer sell to the public.
Not only do these companies have ***t customer service that take FOREVER to answer emails -- if they even answer emails (which is sketchy and suspicious in and of itself) -- but they will often not provide you any information that would show their products are legitimate OR pure.
In the time I sent Extremepeptides 2 customer service emails, they responded to none of them, but managed to process my order without any issue lol.
RUI pretended not to know what I meant by lab analysis of their products and the person on the phone directed me to the EMAIL ADDRESS ON THEIR WEBSITE lol.
One has to wonder - since we already know what's in the product, what exactly are they hiding?
Some super secret solvent? Something toxic? The most simple explanation is that there is 0 active ingredient in their products and so they don't want to share any lab analysis because it will show these products are likely just water+ethanol or corn starch+ethanol.
I speculate that this shadiness is commonplace in online pharmacies, but also mainstream supplement suppliers. Another popular supplement company (not a peptide company) called BulkSupplements that I reached out to regarding their fish oil said this about their fish oils: "we do not test this product."
If someone orders from these peptide sites and experiences an effect, it's almost certainly placebo.
Vote with your wallet.
The supplement industry is rife with scammers and snake oil salesmen.
If you are gonna supplement, make sure it's high-quality and pure.

Mind you, PV and TBARs are industry gold standards for oil oxidation and very common tests. If a company can't be bothered to test their product, why the **** would you want to order from them?Me: Comment: I had a question about the fish oil product: https://www.bulksupplements.com/fish-oil-softgel-1000mg-3895.html
Can you provide PV (Peroxide Values) or Anisidine (p-AnV) or TBARS/TOTOX test of the fish oil?
BulkSupplements: Response:
Hello,
I do apologize but we are unable to provide these for you since these are not tested for in this item.
