What does lab-tested peptide mean?
Lab-tested means very little unless you know what was tested, by whom, and for which batch. A purity test alone is not the same as identity, sterility, endotoxin, heavy-metal, and net-content testing.
Ask what test
- Identity confirms the molecule.
- Purity estimates target compound vs impurities.
- Net content checks amount in the vial.
- Sterility and endotoxin checks address contamination risk.
- Heavy metals checks manufacturing contamination.
Ask which batch
Testing from a different batch does not prove the vial in front of you. Batch matching is the difference between useful evidence and generic marketing.
Ask which lab
The report should identify the lab, method, sample, date, and result clearly enough that a skeptical reader can understand what was measured.
