American Peptides

Listings clearly state products are for laboratory research use only.

No therapeutic, dosing, or human-use claims anywhere in the listing.

Batch-tied COAs (HPLC purity + mass-spec identity) exist and are accessible.

Vial sizes and prices are listed clearly and consistently, no bait pricing.

A stated shipping, tracking, and reship/refund policy is published.

No unresolved counterfeit, non-delivery, or COA-forgery reports on file. 2026-08-26: coa_documentation PASS->PENDING ON A CONCRETE, CITABLE GAP: THE PRODUCT PAGE PROMISES A COA THAT DOES NOT EXIST. /pages/coa asserts '52 products - every lot third-party tested', yet Melts(TM) Brain-Fuel and Melts(TM) NAD+ have NO COA ENTRY AT ALL, and MELANOTAN-2 and DIHEXA list an SDS only - while the Brain-Fuel product page itself states that 'a lot-matched Certificate of Analysis' is 'available to download on this page' and NO SUCH LINK IS PRESENT. That is a promise on the page contradicted by the page. Where COAs do exist they remain properly lot-tied and downloadable ('Certificate of Analysis - 10 mg (Lot SEL10-0803)' -> /docs/COA7627.pdf) alongside a GHS 16-section SDS and a 'Verify Your COA' tool - the infrastructure is good, the coverage is not. SECOND NEW ITEM, and it is why no_health_claims moves to PENDING rather than staying pass: the Melts Brain-Fuel strip is a CONSUMER NOOTROPIC FORMULA SOLD UNDER RUO FRAMING - 'Paraxanthine... L-Theanine... Alpha-GPC... Huperzine A... Vinpocetine... Vitamins B3, B9 & B12', 30 strips in a tin, $40.00. Vitamins in an edible format is supplement territory, not research-chemical territory. Its spec block is also boilerplate-wrong for the format in a way that gives the game away: 'Physical Form: Lyophilized powder', 'Store lyophilized at -20C', and 'Certificate of Analysis on every vial' - for a film strip. PENDING not FAIL because no explicit human-outcome or dosing sentence was found on the live pages. A PRIOR ADVERSE ITEM CLEARS, IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR: the search-snippet copy 'no pills, no water, no wait... melts on the tongue in seconds' is NOT on the live Brain-Fuel page, which instead closes 'For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.' Treat that snippet as remediated or never-live and do not cite it again. DOSAGE-FORM ISSUE UNCHANGED on both counts: product still titled 'SELANK LIQUID SPRAY' at slug /products/selank-nasal-spray with body copy specifying 'a mist applicator for research reconstitution and dispensing studies'; the Dissolving Strips collection meta still reads 'Melts(TM) fast-dissolving research strips' and holds 3 SKUs including Melts Pro(TM) Selank + Semax at $174.00. Renaming without changing format remains the pattern. No adverse third-party reports found. || PRIOR: 2026-08-25: THE HUMAN-DOSAGE-FORM ISSUE PERSISTS ON BOTH COUNTS, AND THE RENAMING MAKES IT SHARPER RATHER THAN BETTER. Read /products/selank-nasal-spray and /collections/melts first-hand. (1) The Selank product is now titled 'SELANK LIQUID SPRAY' but THE URL SLUG REMAINS selank-nasal-spray AND THE BODY TEXT STILL SPECIFIES A MIST APPLICATOR, verbatim: 'A research kit pairing a 10 mg vial of Selank, a tuftsin-derived heptapeptide, with a mist applicator.' (2) The Melts line is intact - the collection was renamed 'Dissolving Strips' but the meta description still reads 'Melts(TM) fast-dissolving research strips - precise, solvent-free format', with 3 SKUs including 'Melts(TM) Brain-Fuel Dissolving Strips' ($40) and 'Melts Pro(TM) Selank + Semax' ($174). A sitewide banner concedes 'some of our product names may have recently changed'. RENAMING WITHOUT CHANGING THE FORMAT IS THE POINT: under 21 CFR 801.4 intended use is inferred from the article's objective characteristics, and an intranasal mist applicator and a dissolvable oral strip ARE human dosage forms whatever the label says. no_health_claims HOLDS AT PENDING - deliberately not fail, because this feeds the unwritten dosage-form prong that is STILL AWAITING FRANK'S RULE, and it would be wrong to fail a vendor on a criterion the published six-check list does not contain. This vendor is the cleanest test case for that rule and should be adjudicated alongside PSPeptides. IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR, RECORDED WITH EQUAL WEIGHT: the COA improvement holds and is verified - lot-tied and downloadable (Lot SEL10-0803, COA7627.pdf plus selank-sds.pdf) with a working 'Verify Your COA' tool. RUO language is unusually complete (masthead, per-product disclaimer, full footer certification block). Pricing clear per-vial ($85 / 10 mg; currently 'Sold Out - 10 mg'). Shipping & Returns plus Cancellation Policy linked. AND A PRIOR ADVERSE ITEM DID NOT REPRODUCE: the unverified social-proof pattern (review counts with no linked corpus) recorded on 2026-08-08 was NOT PRESENT on either page read today. No scam reports found; the only search hit was a ScamAdviser stub for shop.americanpeptides.us with no review content - an empty automated stub, not a user report, and it moves nothing. || PRIOR: 2026-08-24: no_health_claims PENDING persists first-hand: Selank spray live — display copy renamed 'Liquid Spray' but URL slug still /products/selank-nasal-spray and it ships a mist applicator; 'Dissolving Strips' (Melts) collection persists at /collections/melts plus Semax and Selank+Semax sprays — human dosage forms unchanged; feeds the unwritten dosage-form prong. RUO disclaimers heavy and consistent ('chemical reagent for laboratory investigation'). COA position confirmed improved first-hand: lot-matched COA (Lot SEL10-0803, /docs/COA7627.pdf) + GHS SDS on product page; price shown ($85/10mg); Shipping & Returns linked. Nothing new on scam. || PRIOR: 2026-08-23: HOMEPAGE READ IN FULL. no_health_claims HOLDS AT PENDING on the same unwritten dosage-form prong: 'SELANK LIQUID SPRAY' (URL slug literally /products/selank-nasal-spray), 'Melts Brain-Fuel Dissolving Strips', plus implied-use category tags ('Sleep/Stress', 'Nootropic', 'Antioxidant'). Every listing suffixed '— Research Use Only'; banner 'Not for Human or Veterinary Use'. COA position IMPROVED in specificity: lot-tied COA PDFs plus GHS SDS per compound (e.g. /docs/COA7594.pdf, Lot RTCAG15-0803), multiple historical lots. Standing 'star graphics with no review corpus' concern remains accurate — no review presence found anywhere for this domain (collisions usapeptide.com / americanpeptidesociety.org NOT attributed). No Aug 21-23 reports. || PRIOR: 2026-08-14: NO CHECK MOVED, NO NEW PAGE FINDINGS - the 2026-08-08 first-hand read of /pages/about and /pages/coa stands in full and nothing has changed. WHAT IS NEW IS A METHOD ATTEMPT, AND IT IS WORTH RECORDING. Every coa_documentation judgement in this directory's history has rested on link presence and on-page text; NO CERTIFICATE HAS EVER BEEN OPENED. American Peptides is the best candidate for breaking that streak because its COA index publishes DIRECT, UNGATED, LOT-MATCHED .pdf files rather than the client-rendered shells that blocked Peptide Technologies. A certificate was fetched this run: COA5627.pdf, Retatrutide 10mg, Lot RETA10-0616. RESULT: the file downloaded successfully but CONTAINS NO MACHINE-READABLE TEXT - almost certainly a scanned or image-flattened PDF. WHAT THIS DOES AND DOES NOT MEAN. It is NOT ADVERSE and reflects nothing on the vendor: image-based COAs are entirely ordinary, BioLongevity's are flat .jpg files and were treated the same way on 2026-08-06. It IS a hard tooling limit, now precisely located: the blocker is not access and not the vendor, it is OCR. The certificate is public, ungated and one click away. coa_documentation HOLDS AT PASS on the same basis as before, with the same honest caveat carried from 2026-08-08 - no laboratory is named anywhere on the COA index, and the lab name, if present at all, is inside the image pixels. IMPLICATION FOR THE STANDARD: a COA whose issuing laboratory can only be read by a human eye is not machine-verifiable, and a directory that scores COA quality at scale cannot verify it at scale. Any automated COA check will need OCR or it will keep grading the LINK rather than the CERTIFICATE. This matters because the Paradigm Peptides conviction (70 months, sentenced 2026-07-30) turned on FORGED laboratory certificates - the exact failure mode link-presence checking structurally cannot catch. 8TH NAME-COLLISION HAZARD REGISTERED: american-peptides.vercel.app is a PUBLICLY INDEXED PREVIEW/STAGING DEPLOYMENT carrying the same branding, and americanaminopeptides.com is a SEPARATE BUSINESS with its own COA page. ONLY americanpeptides.us IS THE LISTED VENDOR. The staging deployment is a housekeeping observation about the vendor's own infrastructure, not a compliance finding. EXCULPATORY, ENUMERATED THIS RUN: the seven FDA warning letters of 2026-04-07 (all dated 2026-03-31) have now been fully enumerated - Pink Pony Peptides, Mile High Compounds, Prime Sciences, Gram Peptides, PekCura Labs, FormPour, Fantasy Face. AMERICAN PEPTIDES IS NOT AMONG THEM. no_health_claims remains PENDING on the unchanged 2026-08-08 basis (GLP-1 & Metabolic / Nasal Sprays / Dissolving Strips collections, outcome-organised nav, Military & First Responders discount) awaiting Frank's intended-use standard. No adverse public report attaches to this vendor. || PRIOR: 2026-08-08: NO CHECK MOVED. Two pages read first-hand: /pages/about and /pages/coa. OPEN ITEM CLOSED IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR - the 'FDA-registered' and 'GMP Compliant' claims carried as unverified since 2026-08-06 DO NOT APPEAR on either page. The sitewide footer says the opposite, verbatim: 'These products are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, or dietary supplements, are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration...' and requires certification as 'a qualified researcher or institution aged 21 or older'. The About page's compliance section asserts only 'strict adherence to laboratory standards' - no registration or GMP claim. The 'GMP-compliant US facilities' / 'verified by Bioviridian' language came from THIRD-PARTY SUMMARIES, not from the vendor. Recorded so this vendor stops carrying a phantom finding. coa_documentation HOLDS AT PASS on a first-hand read: the COA index lists 46 products with ungated, downloadable, LOT-MATCHED PDFs (verbatim: Retatrutide 10mg Lot RETA10-0616; Tirzepatide 100mg Lot TIR100-0616; Semaglutide 20mg Lot SEMA20-0528; KLOW Blend 80mg Lot KLOW80-0616), nearly all paired with a GHS 16-section SDS, plus a /verify COA-lookup route. TWO GAPS RECORDED, NEITHER SCORED: (1) NO testing laboratory is named anywhere on the COA index - the page asserts 'independently third-party tested' without saying by whom; the lab may be inside the PDFs, which were not opened. (2) DIHEXA and MELANOTAN-2 carry an SDS but NO COA, against a page claim of 'every lot third-party tested'. no_health_claims HELD AT PENDING - not moved to fail - awaiting Frank's intended-use standard. The catalog architecture read today is the clearest example of why that standard is needed: collections 'GLP-1 & Metabolic', 'Nasal Sprays', 'Dissolving Strips' (Melts Pro(TM) Selank+Semax), footer nav organised by human outcome ('Metabolic / Tissue Repair / Longevity'), a 'Military & First Responders 20% Off' consumer-affinity discount, 'Discreet Packaging - Plain boxes, no identifying labels', an unverified '4.9/5 from 2,400+ Verified Researchers' marketing claim, and the Instagram handle @americanprotocols. Entity: Shreveport, LA. No adverse public report attaches to this vendor. || PRIOR: 2026-08-06: DOWNGRADED passing -> MONITORING and no_health_claims PASS -> PENDING, on a first-hand read. This is a downgrade, not an accusation, and the documentation side of this vendor remains the strongest in the directory. WHAT HOLDS: dozens of directly downloadable, ungated, LOT-MATCHED COA PDFs on the homepage (e.g. 'Certificate of Analysis - 10 mg (Lot RETA10-0616)', '20 mg (Lot SEMA20-0528)'), each with a GHS 16-section SDS; every product tile carries '- Research Use Only' in its title; flat per-item pricing across ~70 SKUs; a concrete reship term ('Vial broken in transit or wrong product shipped? Notify us within 72 hours and we'll replace it at no cost'). WHAT MOVED IT: consumer-retail drift in the storefront's objective intended use. (1) 'Dissolving Strips' - Melts(TM) Brain-Fuel and Melts(TM) NAD+ - are an ORAL CONSUMER DOSAGE FORM. An oral melt-strip is materially harder to sustain as in-vitro research material than a lyophilised vial; this is the same shape as the PSPeptides oral-tablet/throat-spray finding and should be weighed consistently with it. (2) A merch line (hoodies, tees, hats). (3) Indication-shaped navigation - catalog browsable 'by the pathway you're researching' under Growth Hormone, Metabolic, Tissue Repair, Longevity, Neurological, COSMETIC - plus outcome-suggestive bundle names (IRONCLAD, REPAIR+, METABOLIX, WOLVERINE). (4) Consumer-voice testimonials and 'Discreet Packaging - Plain boxes, no identifying labels' marketed as a feature. TWO CLAIMS TO VERIFY BEFORE ANY PROMOTION: 'FDA-registered US Manufacturer' and 'GMP Compliant Facility'. FDA registration is NOT FDA approval and is routinely misused as a trust signal; neither claim was verified this run and neither should be repeated on the site until it is. Attribution unchanged: the FDA letter to usapeptide.com (696885), Scam-Detector items for americanresearchpeptides.com / allamericanpeptide.com, and the 2022 DOJ 'All American Peptide' matter are DISTINCT entities and are NOT attributed here. || PRIOR: 2026-08-04: no change; carried forward from 2026-08-03 (storefront not re-fetched this run — fetch-provenance limitation). No adverse signal in search. Nothing found for this sp
