What we found at Glacier Aminos

Read 5 September 2026 on the vendor's own pages

Unusually deep certificate library and measured-mass reporting, with no way to confirm who did the measuring. Naming the lab would move this vendor up the scoreboard overnight.

  • ✓Large public certificate library — 94 products, 277 batches — viewable without an account, each PDF tied to a lot. source

  • ?No laboratory is named — not on the testing page and not on the certificate itself, which carries only a lab director's signature. Certificates are vendor-hosted PDFs with no lab-side verification.
  • ?Prices are hidden behind account creation on the storefront (the same prices are openly served by the store's API — a UX gate, not a real one). Fails our 'viewable without an account' criterion as a reader experiences it.
  • ?No semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide in the catalog.
  • !Marketing page describes accredited third-party testing; the certificate names no laboratory.
  • !Domain is about 13 months old; a third-party scanner rates the site as suspicious (17/100). We treat scanner scores as a prompt to check, not a verdict.

This certificate does not state measured net content — purity alone does not tell you how much is in the vial, which is why the rubric scores them separately.

Score history and the caveats

A score only moves when the evidence does
  1. 2026-09-054/8 — first assessment under rubric v1
  2. 2026-09-067/10 — re-issued under rubric v2 (was 4/8); not awarded: lab-hosted, ungated, claims-consistent
  3. 2026-09-246/10 — 7/10 → 6/10 — clean-record withdrawn: /contact/ displays 'Trustpilot 4.8/5' while the live profile reads 4.6 across 116 reviews; Google 5.0/5 and Pep Review Pro 4.9/5 badges alongside are unverifiable
Purgo Labs: the caveat

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.

Glacier Aminos: the caveat

The lab (Ethos Analytics) is identifiable only from the certificate's sample ID and signatory, never in page text; the certificate (lot BPC10GA-06) reports 10.08 / 10.14mg vs 10mg label but offers no lab-side lookup. Storefront hides prices behind account creation. No semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide. Domain is about 13 months old.
