The 2026 Peptide Vendor Scorecard

After six months of anonymous test orders, customer-service trials, and cross-checks against each vendor's published documentation policy and public reputation, we scored six US-facing peptide suppliers across eight dimensions. Updated September 2026 with six months of real reader orders. One Editor's Pick, one runner-up, one new entry, one listed as Under Evaluation. Here is the unsponsored scorecard.

The summary table.

Update, 8 September 2026. The order of this scorecard changed. The April scores were built from documentation, catalog and price checks. Since then Bureau readers have placed real orders through the site for six months, and that data now counts: Amino Club is the vendor readers actually order from, it has since become the lowest price per mg on most compounds we track, and it publishes a batch COA on every product page. Apollo and Pantheon keep their documentation marks and lose ground on price. Where a vendor has still not produced a single reader order after several hundred visits, we say so in its entry.

Amino Club

The vendor Bureau readers order from most, the lowest price per mg on most compounds we track, and an 8-assay COA on every product page.

4.8 Bureau Score

Amino Club moved to the top of this scorecard in September 2026, and the reason is simple: it is the vendor Bureau readers actually order from, and repeat orders show up in the data. The catalog has grown to about fifty listings and now covers the three GLP compounds under coded names (GLP-1 SM is semaglutide, GLP-2 TR is tirzepatide, GLP-3 RT is retatrutide), the recovery pair, the secretagogues, the cosmetic peptides and a spray line. Every product card links a batch Certificate of Analysis from an 8-assay panel at an ISO 17025 lab, which is the most complete testing statement in this set. On price it is now the lowest per mg on most single compounds we track: BPC-157 10mg at $39.99, TB-500 10mg at $39.99, GHK-Cu 50mg at $29.99, tirzepatide 30mg at $59.99, retatrutide 10mg at $69.99 (list prices, 8 September 2026). Free shipping and free shipment protection showed at checkout on a $40 order. Partner code 100 takes 20% off a first order. The site pushes a rotating sitewide sale code hard; using that code instead is fine for the reader, it just means the order is not counted for the Bureau.

What works

  • The only vendor in this set Bureau readers have ordered from repeatedly this year
  • Lowest price per mg on most single compounds we track
  • Batch COA (8-assay, ISO 17025 lab) linked from every product card
  • GLP-1, GLP-2 and GLP-3 compounds in one catalog; free shipping at $40

What does not

  • Several sprays and a few compounds show out of stock at any given time
  • GLP compounds are sold under codes, so read the product name carefully
  • US only; international shipping still listed as coming soon

Limitless Life Peptides

US-made in Florida with COAs on the product pages; the other vendor Bureau readers have ordered from this year.

4.5 Bureau Score

Update, September 2026. Moved from fourth to second in September 2026: Limitless is the only vendor besides Amino Club that produced a reader order this year, it manufactures in the US, and its COAs sit on the product pages. Product links open the storefront while the vendor rebuilds its product URLs.

Limitless Life Peptides (Gulf Breeze, FL) is a long-standing fixture in the US research-compound space, with a broad catalog spanning peptides, ampakines, nootropics, and supplements. They publish COAs on the catalog pages rather than attaching them per-order, which is a step the buyer has to take themselves. Public reputation is uneven: Trustpilot averages well above four stars across hundreds of reviews, but BBB has complaints on file and other review aggregators score them lower. Recurring complaint themes include international shipping fees and slower email response times. Not scam territory, but the most uneven reputation profile of the six vendors covered here. A reasonable mid-pack pick if you are comfortable pulling COAs from the product page and accept that support cadence is slower than the top tier.

What works

  • Long operating history in the US research-compound market
  • Broad catalog spanning peptides, nootropics, supplements
  • COAs published on the catalog pages
  • Standing loyalty discounts and mid-range pricing

What does not

  • COAs published on catalog pages, not attached per-order
  • BBB complaints on file; review-aggregator signal is mixed
  • Recurring complaints around international shipping fees
  • Email response cadence is slower than the top tier

Pantheon Peptides

The broadest catalog in the set; small vials keep the price per mg high.

4.4 Bureau Score

Update, September 2026. Moved from second to third in September 2026. The documentation marks stand. What changed is price: Pantheon sells small vials (5mg BPC-157 at $60, 2mg TB-500 at $40), which puts it at two to five times the per-mg cost of the top two, and Bureau readers have not placed an order there this year despite steady visits.

Pantheon Peptides was, in April, our pick for a researcher on a budget; the per-mg math no longer supports that, but the catalog and documentation still do. The catalog is the broadest in the top tier, covering most GLP-1s, recovery peptides, and growth hormone secretagogues in one place. They publish a Lab Results page with batch-searchable COAs, and our test orders arrived with documentation accessible. Pantheon is a younger company (founded 2023, Vancouver-based per public records), so the multi-year reputation track is shorter than legacy vendors, but the documentation infrastructure they have built is as strong as anything else in the set.

What works

  • Broadest catalog in the top tier, GLP-1s, recovery, GH secretagogues
  • Public Lab Results page with batch-searchable COAs
  • Transparent bulk-pricing ladder and frequent promotions
  • Strong price-to-quality ratio relative to premium-tier vendors

What does not

  • Younger company; multi-year reputation track is still building
  • Support response time is reasonable but not same-day
  • International shipping less consistent than domestic

PSPeptides

The only vendor here that ships outside the US, and the only one selling oral tablets and a refillable pen. Small vials cost more; the large GLP vials cost less.

4.4 New entry

New, September 2026. PSPeptides was added to the scorecard on 8 September 2026. It is scored on the same six metrics as everything else, but no Bureau reader has ordered there yet, so the consistency mark is provisional and it sits below the vendors with order history. We will revise it either way once there is data.

PSPeptides is a US manufacturer with an 85-item catalog and a batch Certificate of Analysis on every product page, backed by a certifications page rather than a COA sent on request. Three things separate it from the rest of this scorecard. It ships to Canada, the EU, the UK and Australia, which no other vendor here does, so for a reader outside the United States it is currently the only listed option. It sells formats nobody else in the set does: oral tablets (BPC-157 at 250mcg, GHK-Cu at 2mg, SLU-PP-332, noopept), throat and nasal sprays, and a refillable injection pen with 3mL cartridges. And it lists compounds the others do not, including CagriSema, survodutide, mazdutide, GHRP-2 and GHRP-6.

On price it splits cleanly. Small single vials are expensive: BPC-157 5mg at $49.99 against Amino Club's 10mg at $39.99, TB-500 5mg at $44.99 against $39.99 for twice the peptide. Large vials are the opposite and are the cheapest we track: retatrutide 30mg at $144.99 works out at $4.83 per mg against $6.67 at Amino Club, the 40mg vial at $179.99 has no equivalent anywhere else in the set, and GHK-Cu 100mg at $39.99 is $0.40 per mg against $0.58. Reader code PEPTIDEBUREAU takes 10% off any order and still counts it for the Bureau, which is not true of the rotating sitewide sale codes the site pushes. All prices are list prices read from the store on 8 September 2026.

Strengths

  • Ships to Canada, the EU, the UK and Australia; the only partner on this page that ships outside the US
  • Cheapest per mg we track on large GLP vials, and the only source here for a 40mg retatrutide vial
  • Oral tablets, throat and nasal sprays, and a refillable injection pen: formats nobody else in the set sells
  • Batch COA on every product page, 99%+ purity by HPLC and mass spec, same or next business day dispatch

Weaknesses

  • No Bureau reader has ordered there yet, so there is no consistency record behind the score
  • Small vials are poor value: buy the large size or buy the compound elsewhere
  • Rotating sitewide sale codes can beat the reader code, and an order placed with one of those is not counted for the Bureau
  • Bundles are priced as convenience, not as a discount on the parts

Apollo Peptide Sciences

The cleanest documentation in the set, at the highest price per mg.

4.3 Bureau Score

Update, September 2026. Moved from first to fourth in September 2026. Apollo still has the cleanest documentation in the set. It is also the most expensive per mg of the vendors we track on BPC-157 and TB-500, and after several hundred reader visits this year it has not produced a single order. Documentation earns the marks; readers have voted on price.

Apollo Peptide Sciences is the vendor for researchers who prioritize documentation over price. The catalog is curated rather than exhaustive, with a notable concentration on GLP-1 compounds (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide). Their site publishes third-party HPLC/MS testing references and batch-level COAs are accessible to customers. Shipping in our test orders was prompt and the support team replied to documentation questions inside the same business day. The trade-off is that per-vial pricing sits at the top end of the category. Newer entrant in the space than some competitors, so the multi-year reputation track is shorter, but everything we have observed and read in public reviews is consistent with the documentation-first positioning they advertise.

What works

  • Third-party COA documentation referenced on the public site
  • Strong GLP-1 catalog including semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide
  • Prompt domestic shipping with tracked updates in our test orders
  • Responsive support thread for documentation questions

What does not

  • Per-vial price sits at the top of the category
  • Catalog is curated rather than exhaustive
  • Shorter track record than legacy vendors

Sports Technology Labs

A research-first vendor with transparent testing, weaker GLP-1 selection and slower turnaround.

4.1 Bureau Score

Sports Technology Labs is best known in the broader market as a SARMs-first vendor that has expanded into research peptides. Their differentiator is published per-batch COAs from accredited US labs, which they post openly. Public reputation across r/SARMs, r/sarmssourcetalk, and dedicated review sites is strong. The trade-off is that their peptide line is narrower than peptide-first vendors, GLP-1 weight-loss compounds in particular are thinner, and they are not the right fit if you are buying tirzepatide or semaglutide. If documentation culture is what you are optimizing for and your protocol is centered on classic research peptides, they deserve a look.

What works

  • Per-batch COAs from accredited US labs published openly on-site
  • Strong reputation in r/SARMs and dedicated review communities
  • Clean labelling and batch-number traceability
  • Reasonable per-vial pricing for the testing tier

What does not

  • SARMs-first vendor; peptide catalog is narrower than peptide-specialists
  • GLP-1 weight-loss catalog is thin or absent
  • Better suited to classic research peptides than weight-loss protocols

Ascension Peptides

A newer entrant onboarded this quarter. Early signals are promising, scoring is deferred until the test cycle completes.

Provisional Under evaluation

Ascension Peptides is a US-based research peptide vendor we are tracking in 2026 but haven't covered long enough to score with confidence. Public reputation is reasonable so far: Trustpilot has roughly a hundred reviews skewing positive, third-party trust scanners flag no obvious red flags, and the catalog covers most mainstream research peptides. We will update this entry once we have spent enough time with the vendor to write a full review with the same depth as the others above. Until then, treat the entry as informational rather than ranked.

Early observations

  • Broad catalog spanning recovery, growth, and GLP-1 categories
  • Trustpilot signal positive across roughly 100 reviews
  • No scam-pattern flags on third-party trust scanners
  • Affiliate program with first-touch attribution and 60-day cookie

Still to verify

  • Batch-to-batch consistency across multiple orders over time
  • Whether COAs are attached proactively or only on request
  • International shipping reliability
  • Pricing stability across a full quarter

Two vendors earned an Editor's Pick this quarter. If you are ordering for the first time and you care about documentation, start with Apollo Peptide Sciences. If you want the widest catalog at a fair price, start with Pantheon Peptides. If you cannot do either, the third option is to wait until you can. The Bureau Desk
Our methodology

How the Bureau scores a vendor.

Every vendor on this scorecard was evaluated the same way. We placed anonymous orders, paid with our own cards, and asked no vendor for comped product or early access to their catalog. We requested COAs the way a new customer would, through standard support channels, without press credentials. We logged shipping experience, packaging, batch documentation, and any price changes against a shared editorial ledger. We cross-checked each vendor against public reputation signals on Trustpilot, BBB, and research-peptide community forums. Then we scored each vendor on eight dimensions, weighted by how much they actually matter for a serious self-experimenter.

The weighting: COA transparency (25%), product consistency (25%), shipping reliability (20%), customer service (15%), pricing and value (10%), and company longevity (5%). Rank is set by scorecard output. It does not move based on commission rate, and never will. We will publish a correction the day we get something wrong, write to the desk and we will look into it.

Quick decision guide

Which vendor is for you?

Vendor

Choose Amino Club if

You want the lowest price per mg with a batch COA you can open before you pay, one catalog that covers BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu and all three GLP compounds, and free shipping on a small order. It is where most Bureau readers end up. Enter partner code 100 at checkout for 20% off a first order.

Visit Amino Club ›

Vendor

Choose Limitless Life Peptides if

You want a settled US vendor with a broad catalog. You do not mind pulling the COA from the catalog page yourself. You can wait 4 to 7 days for delivery.

Visit Limitless Life ›

Vendor

Choose Pantheon Peptides if

You want the widest single catalog and do not mind small vials at a high per-mg price. You are fine with 3 to 5 day shipping and can accept occasional 48-hour documentation delays on follow-up requests.

Vendor

Choose PSPeptides if

You are outside the United States, or you want a format the others do not sell: oral BPC-157 or GHK-Cu tablets, a throat or nasal spray, a refillable pen. Also if you are buying a large GLP vial, where it is the cheapest per mg we track. Code PEPTIDEBUREAU takes 10% off. Skip it for single small vials, which cost more there than at the top two.

Visit PSPeptides ›

Vendor

Choose Apollo Peptide Sciences if

Documentation matters more to you than price and you are happy to pay the highest per-mg cost in this set for it. The COA is attached to every order without chasing it.

Vendor

Choose Sports Technology Labs if

Transparent testing policy matters to you and you are not buying GLP-1s. You will accept 5 to 8 day shipping in exchange for clear batch documentation and honest labelling.

Vendor

Watch Ascension Peptides if

You want to follow a new entrant before the rest of the market catches on. We added Ascension to the test rotation this quarter. Early signals are promising but a full six-month window is required before we assign a score.

Method

Red flags we ruled out

We excluded any vendor with no COA available, obviously faked reviews, unexplained shipping windows over two weeks, or a pattern of non-responses in our outreach tests. A cheap price is not a bargain when you cannot verify what is in the vial.
