15. October 25, 2026Raised from5.56→to5.67(+0.11)

    Re-audited on 25 October 2026 after the vendor reported three site changes. The site now shows a Sheridan, Wyoming registered-agent address, which scores 1 of 2 for address (rule C3); no legal entity is named. The 99.5% purity badge is gone from the product pages, so that certificate-contradiction adjustment no longer applies. The returns policy, terms and product pages now give the same 7-day reporting window, but the free-shipping threshold still differs between pages, so one contradiction deduction stays. Lab 5.1 to 5.2, transparency 2.0 to 3.0, shipping unchanged at 6.5.

16. October 23, 2026Lowered from5.58→to5.56(-0.02)

    Pricing recomputed on 23 October 2026 under the revised rule E1 (standing offers), which prices a size at the lowest total a buyer can pay without a code under standing prices, so a standing offer that includes a second vial at no extra cost now counts at all the milligrams received, in the vendor's own price and in the market medians for the same products: pricing 8.6 to 8.5.

17. October 23, 2026First publishedat5.58

    lab 5.1 / shipping 6.5 / pricing 8.6 / tenure 1.6 / transparency 2.0. First audit after the vendor's submission. Ten of the fourteen certificates are partner-facility reports issued to another business, which count under the supplier adjustment; eleven of the 24 peptide products we list had no certificate.
