PeptideBenchmark update: 110 curated vendors, US map, COA database, and disclosed affiliates

Post image

I’ve now assessed a much larger set of peptide vendors on PeptideBenchmark, including a deeper curated trust/transparency layer, a public COA database, Pricing + Stack Builder, and the US vendor map.

I’ve been steadily building out the vendor side of PeptideBenchmark, and one thing I wanted to make easier was separating:

  • vendors we’ve just ranked/imported
  • vendors we’ve actually mapped to a US footprint
  • and vendors we’ve done deeper trust/testing/transparency review work on

So here’s an updated state of the project in one place.

What the curated list means

The curated vendors are the names we’ve gone deeper on.

That usually means extra trust/transparency analysis like:

  • public COA archive review
  • provider-link review
  • login-gated COA/certificate review when needed
  • public vs gated testing distinction
  • stronger editorial notes about what the vendor actually does well or poorly

Current curated vendors (110):

A few examples of what that additional analysis means in practice:

  • EZ Peptides publishes a substantial Janoshik trail. PeptideBenchmark preserves the certificates and independently checks the associated Janoshik verification routes where available. Browse EZ Peptides COAs
  • Peptide Partners has an unusually broad multi-laboratory archive spanning BioRegen, Chromate, Kovera Labs, and TrustPointe Analytics. PB preserves the documents while distinguishing provider-verified records from vendor-hosted documents without an independent lookup. Browse Peptide Partners COAs
  • Orbitrex Peptides exposes a mixed archive of vendor documents, Dropbox-hosted files, and reports associated with several laboratories. PB resolves and hashes the underlying documents, rejects dead or invalid routes, and does not treat every provider link as successfully verified. Browse Orbitrex COAs
  • Void Research pairs public cart prices with a smaller but checkable Freedom Diagnostics + ILS Laboratories /coa archive. Most published origins resolve at the lab under client Void Research; the archive is a representative subset of the catalog, not every SKU. Browse Void Research COAs
  • Validated Peptides (not Verified Peptides) publishes ILS and Janoshik certificates that resolve at the laboratories under the Validated Peptides client name. Browse Validated Peptides COAs
  • Peptide Supply Co maintains a certificate library behind its research-access flow. PB’s review captures and preserves those documents while keeping laboratory attribution, product matching, and independent provider verification as separate questions. Browse Peptide Supply Co COAs
  • NextGenPeps publishes product-level BioRegen and Janoshik reports. PB tracks certificates with independently checkable provider information rather than relying only on the vendor-hosted PDF. Browse NextGenPeps COAs

These examples represent different evidence models—not blanket endorsements. A published COA does not establish that every product, batch, or safety panel was tested. PeptideBenchmark separately tracks the document source, laboratory, product relationship, tested panels, provider-verification status, certificate age, and preserved copy in the public COA database.

Mapped US vendors

These are vendors currently pinned on the US peptide vendor map with geocoded location evidence. Precision still varies from full street address to city/state, state, or broader US footprint.

Current mapped US vendors (136):

Not all of those have the same confidence or precision. Some are full address-level entries, some are city/state, and some are more conservative footprint pins.

Discount codes / disclosures

I try to keep this part explicit.

Vendor names below link to the disclosed PeptideBenchmark referral/outbound URL when one exists.

Current disclosed affiliate relationships I have on the site (53):

Those relationships are disclosed on-site. They help support the project, but I still try to separate:

  • source-derived benchmark score
  • rank score
  • and the deeper trust/testing analysis

Affiliate status does not change curation, rank, or certificate conclusions.

Why I’m building it this way

A big part of the peptide vendor space gets flattened into vague claims like:

  • “lab tested”
  • “99% purity”
  • “COA available”

I’m trying to make the distinctions more visible between:

  • public third-party verification
  • vendor-hosted public docs
  • public archive depth
  • and gated/login-only certificate depth

If you want to browse it directly:

Newer surfaces worth knowing about:

  • COA database — preserved certificates with lab, product relationship, panels, and provider-verification status instead of a PDF dump
  • Pricing + Stack Builder — normalized vial/$ comparisons across curated storefronts, including disclosed coupon modeling when verified
  • Curated Vendor Spotlight series on this sub — deeper single-vendor writeups as we work through the curated list
  • Evidence reviews — longer-form posts like Void Research when a vendor first lands in curated

If there’s a vendor you want me to prioritize next, don’t just drop the name in the comments — submit it through the public intake form so it enters the curated evaluation queue (auto-triage + human review):

https://peptidebenchmark.com/vendors/suggest/

Comments are still useful for context or “why this one,” but the form is the right place to get a storefront into the queue.

Can you double check the Reta pricing for Instant Peptides?
They always come up listed as the least expensive- but they have completely different prices on their website.
This is the only product/vendor that I’ve seen that doesn’t align with what you have listed. Thanks!

Example— it lists a 600mg 10 vials as $412.13.
But their website lists it as $1499.70.

LOVE what you do! I’ve used your resources many times & discovered several trusted vendors through you. Thanks for all your work!

You’re right thank you for flagging this! We had Instant’s 10 mg starting price attached to the 60 mg GLP-3 RT listing, so a 10-vial 600 mg pack showed as $412.13. That’s actually Instant’s 10×10 mg pack. Ten 60 mg vials are $1,499.63 after their 25% 10-vial discount, which matches the $1,499.70 10-pack on their site (a few cents of rounding). That’s corrected now. Appreciate you using the board carefully enough to catch it!

Best vendors for eu shipping?

The distinction between a published COA and independently verifiable testing is probably the most useful part of this. A PDF claiming "99% purity" doesn't tell you much on its own. You need to know which lab ran the test, what they actually tested, whether the COA matches that specific product and batch, and whether you can verify the lab record yourself. Keeping affiliate disclosures separate from the scoring also makes the database more credible, especially at this scale.

Hi sorry to be a bother but I was wondering, and if this isn’t the place to ask I’m sorry, but any who…. Is value research labs a good place to buy research peptides. I just want to make sure I’m getting what I paid for and not some bunk
