The scan

  1. Cure language. Words like "reverse", "heal" or "detox" attached to a molecule.
  2. No sequence or identifier. A real peptide has a name, a sequence and often a registry number.
  3. Mouse studies presented as human proof.
  4. "Research use only" mixed with dosing hints. The FDA has told sellers that such a label does not hold when their own website shows the product is meant for people.
  5. No batch-specific certificate, or one that is a generic image.
  6. Testimonials in place of data.
  7. Pressure tactics: countdown clocks, "only 3 left".
  8. No named company, address or regulatory status.

How many is too many

One flag may be sloppy marketing. Three or more suggests the seller is optimising for sales rather than accuracy.

Where to check instead

  • A national medicines regulator's database for approved products, such as Drugs@FDA in the United States.
  • Clinical trial registries for human studies.
  • A pharmacist, who can verify whether a product is licensed.

The honest default

If you cannot verify identity, purity and legality, treat the product as unknown. Unknown is not the same as safe.
