Buying Guide

What questions should you ask before buying peptides?

A few pointed questions will tell you almost everything about a research peptide supplier. Here is the short checklist to run before you order.

5 min read Reviewed for accuracy Research Use Only
The short answer

Before buying, ask five things: Is there a batch-specific COA? Is testing third-party? What is the purity? Is it labeled research use only? How should it be stored? Clear, confident answers are the sign of a trustworthy supplier.

The five questions

  1. Is there a batch-specific certificate of analysis? This is non-negotiable.
  2. Is the testing third-party? Independent results carry more weight.
  3. What is the purity? Look for a documented figure, commonly 99%+.
  4. Is it labeled research use only? Honest labeling matters.
  5. How should it be stored? A good supplier gives clear guidance.

The answers that should worry you

Vague replies, no available COA, health or dosing claims, or reluctance to confirm research-use-only labeling are all red flags. A supplier that answers these questions plainly is the one worth buying from.

Key takeaways

  • Ask for a batch-specific certificate of analysis first.
  • Confirm testing is third-party, not just in-house.
  • Ask the documented purity and whether it is labeled research use only.
  • Ask about storage; vague answers or health claims are red flags.
