A buyer’s guide to research peptide vendors

Compare peptide vendors before you order.

What each vendor charges per milligram, how fast it ships, and whether its vials passed an independent lab. One score, every input shown.

How the score is built

Four questions, in the order a buyer asks them.

  1. 01 / Delivery

    When does it arrive?

    20% of the score

    1 day

    fastest estimate on the board; the median vendor takes 3

    Business days from order to doorstep for a US address, estimated from each vendor’s published cutoff and carrier. One day scores 100 and each extra day costs nine points. Same-day cutoffs, carriers, and free-shipping thresholds are listed on every vendor page.

  2. 02 / Price

    What does it cost?

    15% of the score

    0.10x to 4.00x

    the market median price per milligram, across every listing we track

    Every listing is converted to dollars per milligram and set against the median for that compound across the board, so a 5 mg vial and a 10 mg vial compare fairly. At the median a vendor scores 70; 30% under scores 100. A cheap vial that fails is not a bargain, which is why price carries the smallest weight.

  3. 03 / Purity

    Is what is in the vial what the label says?

    40% of the score

    73%

    of 626 independent samples on the board met the standard

    The share of a vendor’s recent independent samples that passed, with newer results counting for more and thin histories pulled toward the board average. This is the only pillar measured in a lab, so it carries the most weight. Vendor certificates are linked for reference and never scored.

  4. 04 / Trust

    Can I check it myself?

    25% of the score

    15 of 24

    vendors publish certificates that re-check on the lab’s own site

    Seven things you can verify before paying: certificates readable before checkout, a lot number that matches the vial, a named lab, a report that re-checks at that lab, mass spec identity, years of trading, and no public enforcement actions. Each is worth a fixed number of points, and each is shown on the vendor page.

The board

Top ten, with the shopping facts first.

Delivery and price are what you feel first; purity and trust are what you find out later. The overall score weighs all four. The full list, compound views, and filters are on the rankings page.

Snapshot Oct 28, 2026

See all 24 vendors

Overall = 40% purity + 25% trust + 20% delivery + 15% price. Why those weights

Three lenses

Sorted the way people actually shop.

Each list is one column of the board sorted on its own. None of them is a recommendation; the overall score is what weighs them together.

By compound

Pick the compound first.

The vendor that leads one compound can trail on another, and the median price per milligram varies by a factor of 77 across the twelve. Each compound has its own board, with pass counts and prices for that compound alone.

All twelve compounds

The standard

What has to be true for a vial to pass.

All of it, or the sample fails. There is no partial credit and no blended score for a single vial; a vendor’s purity score is just how often its recent samples pass. Where Finnrick publishes only the outcome, we use the outcome it published and say so on the row.

  1. 01

    MS

    The right molecule

    Mass spectrometry has to find the compound named on the label. A pure vial of the wrong peptide is a fail.

  2. 02

    99.5%

    At least this pure

    Main-peak area by HPLC. A 99.0% vial reads as clean in most contexts. Here it fails, because the vendors at the top clear 99.5% routinely.

  3. 03

    ±25%

    The amount on the label

    Measured quantity against the label claim. A 10 mg vial holding 7 mg is a short fill, however clean the powder.

  4. 04

    Lot

    Paper that matches the glass

    The lot on the certificate has to be the lot on the vial. This one is scored under trust, but a vial with no lot cannot be matched to anything.

Vendor certificates are linked on every page and never scored.

Before you order

Questions buyers ask first.

Which vendor is cheapest?

It depends on the compound and the vial size, which is why every listing here is converted to dollars per milligram and compared with the median for that compound. The rankings page sorts any compound by price, and the vendor pages show each listing against the median. Price is only 15% of the overall score because a cheap vial that fails the standard is money gone, not money saved.

How fast will an order arrive?

Each vendor page lists the dispatch cutoff, the carriers, and our estimate of business days from order to doorstep for a US address. The estimates come from the vendor’s published terms, not from measured parcels, and the fastest on the board is 1 day against a median of 3. A vendor that ships from China is listed with the two to three week wait that implies.

Where do the test results come from?

Most rows are outcomes published by Finnrick, the independent testing database, which buys samples, sends them to partner labs, and publishes pass or fail against its own standard. Those rows are linked to their source and say so. The two vendors at the top of the board are currently scored on sample rows that stand in for our own testing round; the methodology page says exactly which is which. Vendor certificates are linked for reference and never count toward the score.

Why does a 99.2% vial count as a fail?

Because the bar is 99.5%. The vendors at the top clear it routinely, and the gap between 99.2% and 99.6% is usually synthesis or cleanup quality rather than measurement noise. A sample also has to have its identity confirmed and hold within 25% of the labelled quantity. All three, or it fails.

Can a vendor pay to move up the board?

No. Every score is computed from the inputs printed on the vendor page with the formula on the methodology page, and you can recompute any of them by hand. Buy links carry no affiliate codes.

Why are some well-known vendors missing?

A vendor is listed only when its prices can be read without placing an order, because this guide compares prices. Stores that quote only by chat or email, stores whose catalog could not be read at all, raw-material suppliers, and sellers that trade only through Telegram or Discord are left off on purpose.

Is any of this medical advice?

No. Every compound here is sold for laboratory research to buyers aged 21 and over. The site compares vendors on price, delivery, independent test results, and what they let you verify. Nothing here tells anyone to buy, possess, or use a substance.
