Criterion-by-criterion evidence
Every score below is a recorded, dated observation. Where we could not verify a claim, the criterion is marked Unverified and excluded from the score (but it still counts against coverage).
| Criterion | Wt | Finding | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Publishes CoAsThe vendor publishes at least one certificate of analysis (CoA) on its own website. | 3 | ✘ No | The page claims per-batch CoAs "on every product page" but the sampled product renders NONE; the us.com domain emails CoAs on request only. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| Batch-level CoAsCoAs are tied to a specific batch/lot number, not a single generic certificate per product. | 3 | ? Unverified | Not verified — no evidence on record. |
| Third-party lab namedThe name of the laboratory that ran the analysis appears on the CoA. | 2 | ? Unverified | Not verified — no evidence on record. |
| Independent / accredited labThe lab is independent of the vendor and/or accredited (ISO 17025), or is a recognised independent peptide lab (e.g. Janoshik, MZ Biolabs). | 2 | ? Unverified | Not verified — no evidence on record. |
| CoA verifiable at sourceThe CoA can be authenticated on the laboratory's own website (e.g. a verification code) — actually tested, not just claimed. | 2 | ✘ No | No live CoA with a verification code; past Janoshik certs are reported without client details or codes. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| Identity + purity methodsWhich analytical methods are identifiable on the published CoAs. | 2 | ? Unverified | Not verified — no evidence on record. |
| Freshness of the latest CoADate of the most recent CoA visible on the site. | 2 | ? Unverified No dated CoA | No dated CoA found live on the verified pages. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| CoAs accessible before purchase, no accountCoAs can be viewed without a customer account or a prior purchase. | 2 | ✘ No | No CoA accessible logged out; us.com requires emailing product+lot to receive one. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| Sterility / endotoxin data publishedSterility or endotoxin (LAL) results are published in addition to purity. | 1 | ✘ No | No sterility/endotoxin results on the verified pages. Source · 2026-07-09 |
| Public complaints / recall handlingA public recall/complaint policy, or documented handling of a disputed batch. | 1 | ◐ Partial | A "Pending Order Resolution Center" (FDA-frozen orders) plus "How to Spot Fake Amino Asylum Sites"; public FDA raid; no formal recall/QC policy. Source · 2026-07-09 |
