Short answer: legitimate, with caveats. As of 19 September 2026, Direct Peptides scores 6/10 on our published verification rubric, has no independently viewable review record (its Trustpilot profile has been removed), and names its testing laboratory (Horizon Analytical). There are real verification gaps, listed below, that a careful buyer should weigh before ordering.
