Caveats
Purgo Labs: Smaller independent review base than several competitors (80 reviews). The catalog is peptide-focused, so researchers also working with SARMs or broader research chemicals will need a second supplier.
BioEdge Research Labs: No testing laboratory is named — 'independent third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry' only. The certificate is a vendor-hosted image, not a lab-portal link, and we could not read a net-content line from it. No legal entity or address anywhere we looked; a 307 (Wyoming) phone number on the FAQ is the only contact. 15 reviews is below our 50-review threshold. 'Login to View' appears on purchase buttons.
