The 2026 Peptide Vendor Scorecard

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.

Independent test record (not in the score): No independent test result held. Finnrick has no vendor page for it (checked 2 Nov 2026). How the score works

Scored October 2026. Ascension sat on this page as Under Evaluation from July. This score is built from what can be verified online and as a visitor to the store on 6 October 2026: the certificate library, the live cart, the published policies and the public record. It does not yet include a blind sample or a reader order; the entry moves when either lands.

Ascension Peptides is a Colorado vendor (domain registered September 2023, selling since 2024) with 41 listings in 3 mL vials: the recovery pair, GHK-Cu in 100 mg vials, the secretagogues, a run of 10 mg cognitive and longevity peptides, HCG, NAD+ in a 1,000 mg vial, and the GLP compounds under coded names (S-5 is semaglutide 5 mg, T-10 and T-30 tirzepatide, R-10 and R-30 retatrutide, C-10 cagrilintide). It does not sell bacteriostatic water or supplies. The documentation is the strong point: a public, searchable library of 85 batch certificates, each with lot number, purity and test date, and the certificate itself is a Kovera Labs report with RP-HPLC purity, LC-MS identity, measured net content against the label, endotoxin, sterility and heavy metals, plus a report number and access code that can be checked on the lab's own verification page. The batch we opened (melanotan-1, lot 22-05260628, certified 10 June 2026) read 99.75% purity and 11.23 mg in a 10 mg vial. Across the library the published purities sit between 99.2% and 99.7%. Product pages link to the library rather than to their own batch, the newest record is from July, and nobody independent has retested a vial yet.

Price is where Ascension now stands out. At list-sale prices BPC-157 10 mg is $49.00, the lowest per milligram in our cost index, and GHK-Cu 100 mg is $59.00; TB-500 is dear at $54.00 for 5 mg, and the GLP vials are priced above Amino Club before any discount. Through the Bureau's link the cart applies a 50% coupon on its own, every order, no code to type: we watched the same $49.00 vial fall to $24.50, and the vendor confirmed in writing that the coupon does not expire. Shipping is a flat $15 by UPS on every order, dispatched within 24 hours; the site quotes 2 to 5 business days on one page and 5 to 7 on another. Payment is card, Apple or Google Pay, or ACH debit, behind an account login.

The weak points are policy and track record. All sales are final, with a 24-hour window to report a damaged or wrong item and no refunds otherwise; loss in transit is the buyer's problem unless Route protection is added at checkout. Two navigation links (FAQ, About) return errors. And the Trustpilot profile this entry pointed to in July is gone: Trustpilot now shows "this profile has been removed" because the business "goes against our guidelines", which removes the only public review signal the vendor had, whatever the cause. There is a phone line with posted weekday hours, which few vendors in this set offer.

Independent test record (not in the score): No independent test result held; none found when we looked (Oct and Nov 2026). How the score works

Reviewed October 2026, from public evidence. This entry is built from public COAs, third-party results, prices and buyer reports read on 18 October 2026 (the last checks ran past midnight, on 19 October). It does not yet include an independent lab result or a reader order; the entry moves when either lands.

Luvaminos is the trading name of Luvaminos LLC, a New Mexico company that ships from Miami (domain registered June 2026, RDAP, read 18 October 2026). It lists 19 peptides plus a 10 mL water: the recovery set (BPC-157, a BPC/TB blend, KLOW, GHK-Cu, KPV), CJC/ipamorelin, tesamorelin, MOTS-c, NAD+, nootropics, and two GLP compounds under codes (Luv RT and Luv TRZ; the lab certificates on those pages read retatrutide and tirzepatide). The documentation is the strong point: every product page shows the certificate for the lot on sale (read 18 October 2026), 20 in all, each a Freedom Diagnostics report with HPLC purity, LC-MS identity, measured net content and a search code, and the lab hosts its own copy of every one; all 20 we pulled from the lab's server match. Purity on paper runs from 99.18% to 99.96%. Only one of the 20 (Luv RT, lot RT-10-003) adds endotoxin, sterility and heavy metals, and the oldest is from July 2026.

The same certificates show where the risk sits: fill. Net content runs from 87% to 143% of the label: BPC-157 read 8.78 mg in a 10 mg vial, IGF-1 LR3 1.43 mg in 1 mg and melanotan II 13.92 mg in 10 mg. Three lots bottled as 10 mg, KPV, Selank and tesamorelin, came back at about 5 mg (lab copies read 18 October 2026) and were then sold as 5 mg, with "Submitted as 10mg" printed next to the result. On 3 November 2026 all three were back on sale as 10 mg vials with new lots: tesamorelin at 11.09 mg (TES-10-003), KPV at 10.61 mg (KPV-10-002) and Selank at 12.02 mg (SELANK-10-002). That disclosure is to the vendor's credit, but from outside we cannot tell which label the shipped vials carry, and nobody independent has retested a vial: Finnrick lists 0 tests and we found no Janoshik result (both read 19 October 2026).

Price is the other strength. On the store's current 20% sale (read 3 November 2026), Luv RT is $32 for 10 mg and $72 for 30 mg, $2.40 per mg and the lowest on our price tracker; NAD+ is $48 for 1,000 mg, also the lowest; Luv TRZ at $48 for 30 mg is the lowest per mg we track while the sale runs. Without the sale each is a quarter higher. Buy 3 get 2 free takes 40% off any product with no code. Orders before 6 PM ET on weekdays ship the same day by UPS, Ground is $10 or free from $150, and a 30-day guarantee covers loss, damage, wrong items and purity below the lot's certificate, with nothing to send back. The weak points are age and record: about four months of trading, no Reddit reports either way, the only reviews are posts the vendor selects from its own Discord, and the Trustpilot profile has been removed as against Trustpilot's guidelines (read 19 October 2026). We found no FDA warning letter naming the company.

Independent test record (not in the score): No independent test result held: Finnrick lists 0 tests; no public Janoshik result (19 Oct 2026). Net content in its own certificates runs 87% to 143% of label. How the score works

Code PEPTIDEBUREAU takes 10% off, on top of Luvaminos' sale and multi-vial prices, and our link applies it in the cart (checked 26 October 2026). We earn a commission on orders through our link; it has no bearing on the score.

Re-scored 1 November 2026, from 4.4 to 3.9 on the old method; 4.0 on the method of 3 November 2026. PSPeptides was added on 8 September 2026 on the strength of a batch certificate on every product page. On 1 November the Bureau downloaded and read all 194 certificates on its certifications page and checked the lab behind them. Every one is headed North American Diagnostics. That lab's website was registered on 1 June 2026, yet 18 of the certificates carry a May 2026 order date, and 59 of them (June and July 2026) use PSPeptides' own "PSP-" prefix as the lab test ID, where the other 135 use the lab's "NAD-" prefix. The lab's site names no owner, no accreditation and no address, the certificates print an Austin, Texas street address beside a New Jersey phone number, and the Bureau found the lab's name only on PSPeptides certificates. That does not prove the tests are not independent. It means they cannot be shown to be, so COA transparency drops from 22 to 14 of 25. Longevity drops from 4 to 2 of 5: the pspeptides.com domain was registered on 10 November 2025, and the "5+ years in business" on its About page is the vendor's own claim, with nothing public linking an older business to it. No Bureau reader has ordered there yet, so the service mark stays provisional. The tests are the vendor's own to prove: if the lab shows an owner, an address or an accreditation, the COA mark moves back up. A Finnrick test of a PSPeptides vial would appear in its test line beside the score and would not move it.

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. Those certificates report purity, identity and net content, but all come from the one lab described above. 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 better value on some compounds: on 8 September, retatrutide 30mg at $144.99 worked out at $4.83 per mg against $6.67 at Amino Club, and GHK-Cu 100mg at $39.99 was $0.40 per mg against $0.58. Prices have moved since: on 1 November Luvaminos listed retatrutide and tirzepatide for less per mg, and Amino Club listed tirzepatide 60mg at $1.83 per mg against $2.75 for PSPeptides' 120mg vial. Reader code PEPTIDEBUREAU takes 10% off any order (tested in a live cart on 30 October 2026) and still counts it for the Bureau, which is not true of the rotating sitewide sale codes the site pushes. The September prices are list prices read from the store on 8 September 2026.

Independent test record (not in the score): No independent test result held; none found when we looked (Oct and Nov 2026). How the score works

Update, 3 November 2026. Held at 3.9 by the cap: Finnrick has tested Limitless 23 times and 7 passed (see the test line below). Without the cap its points would give 4.6. 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.

Independent test record (not in the score): Finnrick: 7 of 23 independent tests passed. Vendor rating 54%, 468th of 489. Read 2 Nov 2026. How the score works Capped from 4.6: four or more independent tests, fewer than half passed.

Update, 3 November 2026. Held at 3.9 by the cap: Finnrick has tested Apollo 4 times and none passed (see the test line below). Without the cap its points would give 4.4. 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.

Independent test record (not in the score): Finnrick: 0 of 4 independent tests passed. Vendor rating 55%, 457th of 489. Read 2 Nov 2026. How the score works Capped from 4.4: four or more independent tests, fewer than half passed.

Aurelia Research is run by ARP Innovations Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales on 25 July 2026 (checked 18 October 2026), with separate UK and US stores priced in pounds and dollars. The catalog is short: 16 listings in 19 strengths, covering tirzepatide and retatrutide (sold as AR-TRZ and AR-RTA), cagrilintide, the recovery pair and the GLOW and KLOW blends, GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu, tesamorelin, CJC-1295 with ipamorelin, MOTS-c, SS-31, NAD+ and melanotan II. The documentation is the strong point. The COA library (read 18 October 2026) has a certificate for every one of the 19 strengths on sale, each linked from its product page, and every certificate is an ILS Laboratories report that we confirmed batch by batch on the lab's own verification portal. All were tested between 1 and 7 October 2026. Purity reads 99.2% to 99.9% on 18 of 19 batches; tirzepatide 30 mg read 96.27%. Every vial measured 102% to 107% of its label.

The limits are in the panel and the record. The certificates are HPLC only: identity by retention time against a reference standard, which the vendor's own release standard says is not conclusive, with no mass spectrometry, endotoxin, sterility or heavy metals. All 19 batches came from a single lab submission on 29 September, so there is no batch history yet. We found no independent test result, no Reddit mention and only four Trustpilot reviews (TrustScore 4.0 on 29 October 2026, none on 18 October), too few to count for much, and the domain is less than three months old.

US prices sit near the middle of our cost index: BPC-157 10 mg is $49.99, retatrutide 10 mg $79.99 and tirzepatide 10 mg $69.99, all below the median we track, while tirzepatide 30 mg at $149.99 is above it (US store, 18 October 2026). The FAQ says each market ships from its own stock the same day for orders before noon, tracked, with free delivery from $149 or £60; below that, 2-day US shipping is $20 and Royal Mail Tracked 24 is £5 (rechecked 29 October 2026). The US store takes card and crypto. Vials ship without cold packs, and there is no EU shipping. The returns policy covers damaged, missing and wrong items and sets out a batch recall process. US orders get no change-of-mind returns. Support is by email and WhatsApp, with a stated reply within one working day. No regulator or court action naming the company turned up in the FDA warning letter database or GOV.UK on 18 October 2026.

Reserve Research is a US store, shipping within the US only, with 12 compounds in 14 strengths in stock: the GLP-1 trio of semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide plus cagrilintide, BPC-157 and TB-500, a CJC-1295 (no DAC) and ipamorelin blend, GHK-Cu, KPV, 5-Amino-1MQ, Selank and Semax. The documentation is the strong point. The verify page lists the batch now shipping for every product, each product page shows the same batch number, and we confirmed all 15 current certificates on the labs' own records (29 October 2026). Six are Kovera Labs reports from May with LC-MS identity and endotoxin; nine are KMD Analytical reports from August, HPLC only, whose PDFs match the files on KMD's register exactly. Purity reads 97.79% to 99.98%. The store also publishes four batches that failed testing and were never sold, two of which held no peptide at all.

The limits are the second lab, the dose and the record. KMD Analytical's domain dates from June 2026 and we found no independent mention of it. Three May batches are heavily overfilled: retatrutide, semaglutide and TB-500 10 mg measured 12.25 to 13.12 mg per vial, so doses drawn on a 10 mg assumption run 22% to 31% strong. The domain was registered in April 2026, the site names no company, and we found no Trustpilot profile, no Reddit mention and no independent test result.

Prices sit below the median of our price tracker on most lines: BPC-157 10 mg is $50, semaglutide 10 mg $50, TB-500 10 mg $65 and GHK-Cu 100 mg $55, while tirzepatide 30 mg at $130 is above it (29 October 2026). The shipping policy sets 2-day UPS or FedEx for $10, free from $100, in plain packaging, with a replacement if a parcel is lost. The returns policy makes all sales final but replaces damaged or wrong orders and promises a replacement or refund if an accredited lab reads more than 2 points below the certificate. Support is by phone, email and form, with a stated one-business-day reply.

Sports Technology Labs is a SARMs-first store in Shelton, Connecticut, registered in 2019, with a short list of research peptides in mostly 5 mg vials. It publishes a public certificates page for 32 products. The eight certificates the Bureau opened are all purity-only reports from one named lab: they show no amount per vial and no sterility or endotoxin result. Finnrick lists the vendor but has tested none of its vials, and every peptide we could compare is priced above the tracker median per mg. At least two look-alike stores use its name. Rescored 27 October 2026 from public evidence; our earlier scorecard listed 4.1. Read the full review.

Peptide Pro is the store of Biotech Nutra Inc., Franklin, Tennessee, at peptidepro.io (domain registered September 2024). Its shop, prices and certificate library sit behind a researcher log-in. The library is large: 76 entries with about 120 reports from Freedom Diagnostics, Bioviridian and Horizon Analytical. All 32 Freedom reports and 53 of 54 Bioviridian reports we checked are on the lab's own server with the same numbers (read 26 October 2026); the 12 Horizon reports could not be checked, and none of the three labs states an accreditation.

The reports also show the risk: net content from 77% to 153% of label, and two lots that moved sharply when tested twice (MOTS-c 11.22 mg, then 7.71 mg; TB-500 11.55 mg, then 9.47 mg). Nine entries have no report, and nobody independent has retested a vial: Finnrick lists 0 tests (read 26 October 2026). The refund policy is no returns and no refunds, with even the wrong-item exception closed to sale and coupon orders. Shipping is contiguous US only, from Franklin, Tennessee by the store's account, UPS Ground after up to 2 business days. Trustpilot shows 4.7 from 314 reviews on a claimed profile. We found no FDA warning letter naming the company.

On 28 October 2026 the store sent us its lot list and report links. Of 14 reports we opened, 12 match the lab's own copy and the October batch reads 102% to 104% of label; against that, a tirzepatide-class report carries the retatrutide lot code, the two Horizon reports cannot be checked, and HCG and GHRP-6 are on sale with no report.

OMNI Peptides is a Las Vegas based research peptide vendor with a public COA library and a catalog of about thirty listings that covers the three GLP compounds under coded names (GLP-1 is semaglutide, GLP-2 is tirzepatide, GLP-3 is retatrutide), the recovery pair, KLOW, MOTS-c, NAD+, tesamorelin and the usual secretagogues, plus cagrilintide, survodutide and mazdutide, which few US vendors stock. The store advertises same-day dispatch, free shipping over $200 and a 10% sitewide code (OMNI10) on the header of every page. None of that has been tested by us yet: no blind sample, no reader order data, no price-per-mg row in the index. The entry is here so readers who already order from OMNI can find the COA panel and the link, and it moves to a scored entry when the listing process completes. The Bureau joined OMNI's affiliate program on 26 September 2026; as with every vendor, that has no bearing on the score.

NextgenPeps is a US research peptide vendor with about eighty listings: the GLP trio under coded names (GLP-1S is semaglutide, GLP-TZ is tirzepatide, GLP-RT is retatrutide), cagrilintide, survodutide and mazdutide, the recovery and secretagogue sets, a capsule line (BPC-157, BPC-157 plus TB-500, glow) and a long tail of Khavinson bioregulators that few US vendors carry. COAs sit in a public library linked from the main navigation; the three we were sent for BPC-157, the BPC-157 and TB-500 blend and tirzepatide are third-party reports with batch numbers. The vendor says it ships inside the US in one to five days and opened a Canadian warehouse in 2026 (nextgenpeps.ca, same catalog). Reader code PEPTIDEBUREAU takes 10% off and keeps the order counted for the Bureau. Nothing here has been tested by us yet: no blind sample, no reader order data, no price-per-mg row in the index.
