Quality & testing
How do you test what you sell?
Everything I sell is tested by Janoshik Analytical, an independent lab. Each report lists what the lab found in the vial — identity, purity by HPLC, and measured quantity — and carries a link to verify it on Janoshik's own site, so you don't have to take my word for it.
Can I see the report for my batch?
Yes. Message me and I'll send the report for the batch you'd receive. Newer labels also carry a lot number that matches the report.
Storage & handling
How should I store vials when they arrive?
In the fridge (2–8 °C / 36–46 °F), dry and out of the light. For anything you won't open for a few months, the freezer (−20 °C) is better. Take a cold vial out and let it reach room temperature before opening it, so condensation doesn't form inside.
What about after reconstituting?
Keep it in the fridge and don't freeze it. Mixed with bacteriostatic water it keeps for about four weeks. When mixing, run the water down the side of the vial and swirl gently — don't shake.
It sat in a warm mailbox — is it ruined?
Very unlikely. Freeze-dried peptides tolerate a few days at normal shipping temperatures; that's why I can ship them without refrigeration most of the year. Refrigerate it when you get it. If a vial looks wet, cracked, or the seal is broken, send me a photo.
Do I need anything else?
Reconstituting needs bacteriostatic water and syringes, which I don't sell. Ask and I'll point you to what I use.
Ordering & shipping
How do I order?
Add what you'd like to your cart and check out. I'll email payment instructions to the address you give me, and your order ships as soon as payment arrives. Prefer to message? WhatsApp works too. Not sure what fits? Start here.
Can you help me work out what I need?
Yes, and a lot of people start there. Message me on WhatsApp with what you're hoping for and I'll help you choose, answer questions about storage and getting set up, and check in after it arrives. It's me every time.
How fast will it arrive?
Orders confirmed by 12 pm Pacific on weekdays ship the same day by USPS Priority Mail — usually 1–3 business days. Details on the shipping page.
Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. Plain box, no product names on the outside.
What if something goes wrong?
Damaged, wrong, or lost — I replace or reship at no cost. See shipping for how.
