I have worked in the research peptide space since 2015. I came to it through an interest in health, performance and longevity research, and I stayed because the field kept getting harder to navigate.
I kept watching researchers look for reputable suppliers and walk away discouraged. False claims, outright scams and bad information were everywhere. RUO Codes exists to give them one place where the vendors have been checked and the codes work.
Every code on this site is tested every day, directly on the vendor's checkout page. If a code fails, that vendor comes off the site until it is fixed. That usually takes 24 hours or less.
At minimum, a vendor must show current, independent certificates of analysis from a reputable third-party lab. Those records must stay current, maintained and accurate. Every vendor goes through a COA audit, and the size of that audit depends on how many compounds the vendor carries. I have reviewed more than 100 vendors. I have rejected or removed vendors for inaccurate COAs, testing that fell short, a poor reputation with customers, a poor customer experience and overstated claims.
I do not accept paid placements. I do not list vendors without third-party testing. No vendor can pay to be listed.
RUO Codes earns a commission when you use code CHAD at a listed vendor. That is the only way a vendor relationship pays this site.
I am not a physician, pharmacist or scientist. I check the scientific claims in these articles against published studies and link the sources so you can read them yourself. Everything listed here is for laboratory research use only.
