What the grade is
- A grade shows how well a seller documents its testing.
- It is not a test of what is inside every vial.
- We use only lab reports the seller has published. We do not buy or test products ourselves.
- Every seller is graded by the same rules on this page. No seller can pay for a grade.
- Grades update monthly. Each seller page shows the date we last checked it.
The score in one line
Seller score = average report score − 5 for every product sold without a lab report
Every report must first pass the checks below. Then it earns up to 100 points: safety tests 60%, purity 40%.
Checks that decide a pass or a fail
- Confirmed on the lab’s own website. We open the lab’s portal, QR code or key ourselves (for example Janoshik, ILS, Vanguard). A “verify” link that only goes to the seller’s site does not count. If the lab has no way to check reports online, we mark it “Cannot be verified” and do not count it.
- A photo of the tested vial. The COA must include a photo of the vial that was tested. A seller label is not required. We note what the photo shows (for example the cap colour) so you can compare it with your vial. A report with no photo does not count.
- No forgery. Forgery means the lab’s website has no record of the report, the lab shows different results, the same lot or report appears at two sellers, or a report was edited or reused. One forged report means the seller fails: grade F.
- No failed test on a batch that is on sale. If a seller sells a batch whose report shows a failed test, including purity under 98% or net content more than 10% off, the seller fails: grade F.
Part 1: Safety tests (60%)
For vials there are seven tests, worth equal points.
| Test | Earns its points when |
|---|---|
| Identity | Confirmed, by any method (for example HPLC against a reference, or mass spec) |
| Endotoxin | Passes the lab’s limit |
| Sterility | No growth. Any method counts as one test. |
| Heavy metals | Within the lab’s limits |
| Fentanyl screen | Not detected |
| Multi-vial check | More vials, more points: 1 vial earns a third, 2 vials two thirds, 3 or more full points. “Multiple” with no number counts as 2. |
| Net content | The measured mg is within 10% of the label |
- Identity gate: no identity test and no purity number means the other safety tests earn half.
- Capsules, sprays and other forms use identity, heavy metals, fentanyl, the multi-vial check and net content.
- Every test has to pass. A failed test earns no points and is shown on the seller page.
- We use the lab’s own verdict and limits, as printed on the report.
Part 2: Purity (40%)
98% is the minimum.
| HPLC purity | Points |
|---|---|
| 98% or higher | 100 |
| Under 98% | 0 |
- A result like “>99.80%” is counted as 99.80%.
- No purity number: the report is scored on safety tests alone.
Products sold without a lab report
- We list the peptide products a seller has on sale on the day we check.
- A product counts as covered when a published report matches its current batch.
- The batch on the report must match the batch on the vial or product page.
- A report is valid until the expiry on the report or label. If none is shown, it is valid for 2 years from the test date.
- Every product on sale with no confirmed report for its batch costs 5 points. We publish the number on the seller’s row and page, and list each product.
- If the page does not show which batch is on sale, we cannot match it. That counts as no report.
- A report that cannot be verified with the lab, or has no photo of the tested vial, also counts as no report.
- Supplies such as bacteriostatic water and syringes are not counted.
- We do not take points off for report age in any other way.
Which reports count
- Every published report that passes the checks above counts in the report average.
- Reports for lots the seller rejected are shown but not scored. Catching a bad lot is what testing is for.
- A lot counts as rejected only if the seller’s own lab results page marks it rejected or not sold, and it is not on sale.
- A report only counts if we can confirm it on the lab’s own website. This applies to every seller.
Grades
| Grade | Score |
|---|---|
| A | 90–100 |
| B | 80–89 |
| C | 70–79 |
| D | 60–69 |
| F | under 60 |
- A seller needs at least 3 confirmed reports for a grade.
- With 1 or 2 reports we show “Not enough reports yet” and still list the reports.
- With no reports we show “No reports published”.
- The report count is shown next to every grade, for example “B · 4 reports”.
- Sellers we have not finished checking are listed as “Being checked”, with no grade and no numbers.
How we write about sellers
- We state dated facts, for example: “As of Nov 2026, no published report for the batch on sale.”
- We link to the lab’s own report. Each seller may also get one link to its own lab results page. We never link to shops, products or social pages.
- We show no prices, discount codes or affiliate links.
- Private sellers are listed only if they ask, by public shop name or handle. Never by personal name or number.
The verified badge
- Sellers with grade A or B and no product sold without a lab report get a free badge: “Lab reports verified by Peptide Protocols PH”.
- It is automatic. There is no application and no fee. Nobody can buy it.
- It means the published reports are real and match the batches on sale. It does not mean every vial was tested.
- We host the badge image and recheck every month. If a seller stops meeting the rules, the image changes to “Badge not active” on its own.
- A forged report or a failed test on a batch on sale removes the badge at once.
Corrections
Anyone can send a correction with a link to the lab’s own report. We check it with the lab. If we got something wrong, we fix the page and note it in the changelog below.

Changelog (rules v1)
- v1 · 6 Nov 2026: first version. Supplies are not counted in the batch check. Purity minimum 98%. Net content within 10% of the label. Identity and sterility count by any method. A product code on the report instead of the peptide name is not a forgery sign. Every report must be confirmed on the lab’s own website to count. A report the lab has no record of is fake. Any forged report fails the seller. A COA must include a photo of the vial tested (a seller label is not required). We show a saved copy of every COA. Reports for lots the seller rejected and did not sell are shown but not scored. Fentanyl screen and multi-vial check added as safety tests. Every test has to pass; a batch on sale with a failed test fails the seller. Each product sold without a lab report costs 5 points, and the number is published. Free verified badge added for A or B sellers with no product sold without a lab report.
