Site claims '99% Purity Guaranteed' via HPLC and MS testing but names no laboratory and publishes no COA page; some listings cite batch assay figures (e.g. 'Selank 10mg (Current batch tested at 12mg)') without documents. BPC-157 5mg listed at $40 and 10mg at $55; crypto payments (BTC, ETH, DOGE, BCH, XRP, SOL, USDT) get 15% off, card checkout reported by reviewers. Finnrick's report found no public operating company behind the brand, a login-gated storefront, affiliate links, and address/policy overlaps with Solution Peptides and Warrior Peptides; no FDA warning letter to Atomik Labz was found (an unrelated Dec 2025 letter went to 'Atomix LLC'). Trustpilot shows 2.7/5 from 34 reviews with repeated reports of account termination after quality complaints.",

Homepage featured items named GLP-1, GLP-2 and GLP-3 with no expansion, while the three catalog pages did not list them. Testing is described as an in-house analytical lab (HPLC + mass spec) with '99.9% Purity USA TESTED'; the about page claims only partnerships with WHO/GMP and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturers, not certification of the company. BPC-157 is sold only as 10mg ($68.99) or in a 5mg/5mg TB-500 blend ($84.99), so no 5mg single-vial price exists. Payment page says the company is registered in Panama and ships US-only; Trustpilot profile shows a Tunisia location with a single 1-star review.
