Amino Club
Amino Club publishes lot-specific certificates from a named external laboratory, ILS Laboratories of San Diego, whose certificates carry an ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation statement, an accession number, an HPLC chromatogram and net peptide content. Labeled mass is published against assayed mass on every product variant, and superseded lots remain reachable. Two things hold the score down. The certificates sit behind a self-attestation age gate, so no crawler and no casual reader reaches them without passing it. And assayed mass exceeds labeled mass on every lot indexed, by between 1.4 and 18.5 percent across the compounds tracked here.

90.4 / 100
4.5/ 5Extensively documentedData coverage
95%
Coverage is the share of scored fields we hold and corroborated for Amino Club. A score built on a handful of unchecked claims and a score built on forty verified data points are not the same finding, so both numbers are always published together. How coverage is computed.
Strengths
- Lot-specific certificates from a named external laboratory, with accession numbers and a verification route back to the lab
- Labeled mass published against assayed mass on every variant, not purity alone
- Superseded certificates retained, so consistency across lots can be checked
- Full price list published openly in its llms.txt, readable without passing the gate
- Certificates report HPLC chromatograms and net peptide content rather than a bare purity figure
- ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation stated on the certificate itself, not only in marketing copy
Weaknesses
- Certificates are behind a self-attestation age gate — reachable in one click, but invisible to crawlers and to anyone unwilling to attest
- Assayed mass runs above labeled mass on every indexed lot, reaching +18.5% on one GHK-Cu variant
- No legal entity type is stated in the terms of service — the company is named only as "Amino Club"
- The replacement policy is discretionary, reserves the right to deny claims, and does not address lost or seized packages
Regulatory & enforcement record
No adverse regulatory or enforcement action on record. We record authority actions — FDA warning letters, import alerts, seizures, criminal charges — when located. Self-reported reviews are deliberately not scored, because for this market they can be manufactured.

A tag of verified means we opened the cited source and confirmed the value; published means we recorded the vendor’s own published information, taken at face value. Both count in full; only a value with no checkable source earns nothing. Fields older than 90 days are marked stale.

- Labeled vs. actual mg published
- YesVerified23 Jul 2026sourceEvery variant publishes labeled mass against assayed mass — e.g. GLP-3 10 mg labeled, 10.14 mg assayed. The certificates additionally report net peptide content and an HPLC chromatogram.
- Historical certificates retained

Certificate recordsLot-level results with labeled versus assayed mass6 lots10.9% mean deviationView all →Hide ↑
Discrepancy is computed as the absolute difference between labeled and assayed mass, divided by the labeled mass. A vendor-published certificate is a claim; only an independently commissioned assay is treated as corroboration.

A vendor’s score measures what it can demonstrate about its testing. It says nothing about whether the compounds it lists have evidence behind them — those are separate questions, and the digests above answer the second one.
How this score was calculatedEvery signal, its weight and the arithmetic — reconstructable by handrubric v1.10.0View calculation →Hide ↑
Each criterion is scored out of 100 over the signals we could assess, then weighted into the overall figure. Within a criterion, a signal contributes weight × merit × credit: merit is how good the recorded value is, credit is what its provenance earns — 1.00 for a value with a checkable source, 0 for a value recorded without one. A missing signal counts as a partial gap — half its weight — so a vendor that publishes what others leave blank scores higher, while a blank still costs; a value recorded without a source counts in full and earns nothing, so omitting one can never raise a score. A criterion with no data at all — track record when no independent reviews are locatable — is set aside and the remaining weights renormalised; the coverage figure, shown alongside, reports how complete the assessment is.
