What we found at Glacier Aminos

Read 10 October 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.

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.

No lab-side verificationNo measured mass on the certificate
No lab-side lookup for this reportWhere we opened it Transcribed by Compound Review; the laboratory's report is the record.

Check it yourself: The certificate does not name the laboratory — there is nothing to verify against.

277 batch-specific certificates across 94 products; measured mass stated on the lot we opened, value not transcribed.

Score history and the caveats

A score only moves when the evidence does
  1. 5 Sep 20264/8 — first assessment under rubric v1
  2. 6 Sep 20267/10 — re-issued under rubric v2 (was 4/8); not awarded: lab-hosted, ungated, claims-consistent
  3. 24 Sep 20266/10 — 7/10 → 6/10 — clean-record withdrawn: /contact/ displays 'Trustpilot 4.8/5' while the live profile reads 4.6 across 116 reviews; Google 5.0/5 and Pep Review Pro 4.9/5 badges alongside are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 (101 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.
