Let's talk about something that keeps coming up — these third-party testing websites that position themselves as the ultimate source of truth for peptide purity across every vendor in the space. The concept sounds great on paper. An independent party comes in, collects samples, sends them to a lab, publishes the results, and gives researchers a one-stop shop for purity verification. In theory? Fantastic. In practice? I have some serious concerns. How They Work These sites collect samples from individual researchers, send them off to third-party testing labs, accumulate the data, and publish their findings. Sounds noble, right? Here's where it falls apart for me: nothing is truly free. Lab testing is expensive. Running a platform is expensive. Collecting and processing samples at scale is expensive. So when a website is testing hundreds of samples across dozens of vendors and not charging researchers a dime — you have to ask: where is the money coming from? Follow the Money A lot of these sites are backed by corporate interests. That alone should make you pause. When there's a financial incentive behind "independent" results, the independence becomes questionable. I've seen some very interesting interviews — specifically from Finnrick — where the people behind these platforms couldn't clearly articulate a real business model. No transparent revenue stream. No clear explanation of how they sustain operations. That's a red flag. My honest take? I believe sites like these are incentivized to surface bad purity results for established vendors. Think about it — if a major company sees poor results published about their products, what's the natural next step? They go directly to that testing platform to "verify" or get "certified." And now that testing company has a paying customer. Rinse and repeat. That's how you go from bleeding money to printing it. Why I Don't Personally Trust It The peptide space already operates in a gray area when it comes to regulation and oversight. Adding another layer of unverified "authority" doesn't solve the problem — it can actually make it worse if the data is being influenced by financial motives.

This question keeps coming up, so let's break it down once and for all. First, let's kill a myth: Peptide blends do NOT degrade each other over time. We've seen plenty of degradation studies on popular blends like Glow, KLOW, and the Wolverine Stack — they hold up just fine together. So that's not a reason to avoid them. So why do people choose blends? Two reasons: convenience and cost. And those are both completely valid. But here's where it gets tricky. I always steer people toward individual peptides if there's any chance they'll need to modulate or titrate their research amounts up or down based on biofeedback. Take GLOW for example — that's 50 mg GHK-Cu, 10 mg BPC-157, and 10 mg TB-500 in one vial. Sounds great on paper. But what happens when your research calls for more BPC and TB-500? Now your GHK-Cu amount is climbing right along with it — and you might not want or need that much GHK. The reality is, a lot of the time you don't know ahead of time whether you're going to need to adjust. And that's exactly the problem. When everything is locked into one ratio, you lose the ability to fine-tune. When DO blends make sense? If you already know your amounts are going to stay constant. Something like a GHK-Cu + KPV blend where you're holding both steady — that's a perfectly reasonable use case. No need to overcomplicate it. The bottom line: Are blends bad? Absolutely not. But combining too many things into one vial can leave you guessing — guessing what's causing a side effect, guessing what you need more or less of. Individual peptides give you full control. Convenience is great. Control is better. If you can go the individual route, that's what I recommend. If you know your protocol is dialed in and nothing's changing, a blend can save you time and money. Just know the trade-off going in. Drop any questions below 👇
