Disclosure: Purgo Labs is our affiliate partner; we earn nothing from Umbrella Labs. Scores come from the public rubric, which has no partnership input.
Research use only. Compound Review scores vendors on documentation — laboratory certificates, lot records, pricing and company identity. Nothing on this page is guidance on human or veterinary use, dosing or health outcomes.

What we found at Umbrella Labs
Read 19 September 2026 on the vendor's own pages
The lab is the strongest thing here — an accredited, named laboratory with a real address that measures the vial and signs the report. The vendor around it is a SARMs shop with a false 'only supplier' boast on the homepage, a 3.0 review average, and no legal entity. Read the certificate; discount the marketing.

Could not verify · flags
?The certificate outside the vendor — Vanguard prints a laboratory ID but offers no public lookup we could find; the PDF is vendor-hosted.
?A legal entity name — none printed on the pages read.
?The report itself notes the lab 'did not observe or participate in the sample selection process, and cannot confirm the authenticity of the sample or its representativeness of the associated lot/batch' — standard wording, but worth reading.
!Homepage: 'Umbrella Labs are the only supplier of SARMs & Peptides with third-party purity validation' — untrue on its face (most vendors on our scoreboard publish third-party certificates) and used as a trust claim.
!SARMs-first catalog: the homepage leads with MK-2866 (Ostarine) liquids and powders; peptides are a secondary category.
!Measured 4.76mg on a 5mg label — 95% fill, the lowest ratio on any certificate we opened this month; the same lab's report format is otherwise thorough.
!Lowest Trustpilot average of any active profile we cover (3.0).

Umbrella Labs appears in 1 of our compound rankings. Each ranking orders every scored vendor that sells the compound by rubric score, then verified price per mg.
2026-09-197/10 — first assessment (rubric v2); not awarded: lab-hosted, identity, clean-record ('only supplier with third-party validation' claim)

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.
Umbrella Labs: the caveat
A SARMs-first vendor — the homepage leads with MK-2866 and the peptide range is secondary. The measured 4.76mg is 95% of the 5mg label, the lowest fill ratio on a certificate we have opened this month. The certificate is vendor-hosted with no lab-side lookup. The homepage claims Umbrella Labs is 'the only supplier of SARMs & Peptides with third-party purity validation', which is demonstrably untrue — a misleading trust claim. No legal entity name is printed. The 3.0 Trustpilot average is the lowest of any active profile we cover.

Purgo Labs, on the evidence: 10/10 rubric points against 8/10. Umbrella Labs is stronger on 3 points listed below. Every point is a fact you can check on either vendor's site; both are scored by the same published rubric.
Is Umbrella Labs legit?
Umbrella Labs scores 8/10 on our rubric, has an independently viewable rating of 3.0 (235 reviews), and names its lab (Vanguard Laboratory). Caveat: A SARMs-first vendor — the homepage leads with MK-2866 and the peptide range is secondary. The measured 4.76mg is 95% of the 5mg label, the lowest fill ratio on a certificate we have opened this month. The certificate is vendor-hosted with no lab-side lookup. The homepage claims Umbrella Labs is 'the only supplier of SARMs & Peptides with third-party purity validation', which is demonstrably untrue — a misleading trust claim. No legal entity name is printed. The 3.0 Trustpilot average is the lowest of any active profile we cover.
Which is cheaper, Purgo Labs or Umbrella Labs?
