What we found at Lost Coast Aminos

Read 10 October 2026 on the vendor's own pages

The cheapest TB-500 in our index, sold by a company with no name, no address, no named laboratory, and no card processor. The Trustpilot record is positive, but 37 reviews is not a safety net, and the payment methods mean that if a vial is wrong there is no one to dispute the charge with. Price is not the reason to buy here; it is the reason to be careful.

none of these offer chargeback protection if something goes wrong.

Score history and the caveats

A score only moves when the evidence does
  1. 5 Sep 20262/8 — first assessment under rubric v1
  2. 6 Sep 20265/10 — re-issued under rubric v2 (was 2/8); not awarded: lab-hosted, review-base, claims-consistent, identity, clean-record
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.

Lost Coast Aminos: the caveat

The lab (BTLabs, West Palm Beach) appears only on the certificate image, never in page text; the certificate (lot LCA0526BC20) reports 20.4mg vs 20mg label. Payment only by Zelle, Cash App or a manual card invoice — no chargeback protection. No legal entity, address or phone. Legal pages contradict each other (18+ vs 21+, 24h vs 48h damage window) and BPC-157 showed different price ranges on the shop page and its product page the same day. GLP products sold as LCA-SM / LCA-T2 / LCA-R3 with no stated identity. 37 reviews.
