Supplier comparison table

Everything below records what was publicly visible on each vendor's product page onAugust 8, 2026. "Published" means we found the document; "claimed" means the page says it without a findable document; "not shown" means we did not find it during our review — which is an absence of evidence, not an accusation.

Displayed single-unit prices at the reference vial size; most vendors discount multi-vial orders. Statuses describe the vendor's public product page on the date above, not independent lab verification by us.

Price per milligram, compared

Vial price is the number suppliers advertise and the least comparable one, because vial sizes differ. Price per milligram puts everyone on one axis:

Detailed supplier assessments

How we evaluated these suppliers

We opened each vendor's live retatrutide product page and recorded what it displays: vial sizes, prices, purity claims, and whether testing documentation is published. We then downloaded the certificate files themselves and read them, which is not the same exercise — one supplier's laboratory is named inside the document and nowhere on the page. We computed price per milligram at the reference vial.

What we verified

• Displayed prices and vial sizes on each product page, on the date stated.
• Whether certificate documents were published, and whether they carried lot numbers we could match to a product.
• Which tests those documents report (HPLC, mass spectrometry, endotoxin, heavy metals, sterility), read from the document rather than the marketing copy.
• Whether a testing laboratory is named, and whether it holds analytical accreditation.
• Whether certificates are a reused template — we compared the embedded imagery across four separate American Peptides certificates and found no shared files.

What remains unverified

• Whether any vial's contents actually match its certificate — that requires independent testing we have not performed.
• Whether the named laboratories perform to the standard their reports imply. None of the laboratories referenced by any supplier here holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, which is the ordinary credential for an analytical laboratory. That is a characteristic of this market rather than of any one vendor.
• Fulfillment-speed, cold-chain and sourcing claims ("U.S. made", "same-day shipping") — these are supplier statements.
• Refund experiences in practice; we reviewed policies, not claims handling.

How to read a lot-specific COA

A certificate of analysis is a lab report for one production run. The useful ones show a lot number you can match to your vial, a named laboratory, a report date, and two tests:

• HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) measures purity: one dominant peak with a stated area percentage. Extra peaks are truncated sequences or by-products.
• Mass spectrometry confirms identity by molecular weight — the test that answers "is this actually retatrutide," which HPLC alone cannot.

Endotoxin testing checks for bacterial contamination byproducts, and sterility testing checks for viable microorganisms — both matter for anything handled as an injectable-grade research material, and both are rarer on public COAs than HPLC and MS, as the table above shows. A generic PDF with no lot number, no date and no named lab is decoration, not evidence.

Warning signs

• No lot-specific COA, or one that cannot be matched to your vial.
• Purity claimed without a method or laboratory. "99% pure" with no report behind it is a marketing sentence.
• Prices well below every competitor. Synthesis and testing have a cost floor; a price under it usually means underfilled vials or a different compound.
• Human-use language. Dosing advice, before-and-after photos, or medical claims signal a vendor willing to ignore the rules that keep the category legal.
• Anonymous operation. No address, no company entity, support only through a web form.
• Research-only labels used as a quality claim. "Research use only" is a legal category, not evidence of purity, safety or legality of any particular use.

Regulatory status

Retatrutide is an investigational drug in Phase 3 trials. It is not FDA approved, so it cannot be prescribed, and — unlike semaglutide during its shortage years — there is no legal compounding route: it is not a component of any approved drug and does not appear on FDA's list of bulk substances permitted for compounding. FDA has also warned specifically about unapproved GLP-1 products sold for weight loss. What research suppliers sell is legal to sell as research material; no regulator evaluates the manufacturing or purity of any particular vial, which is exactly why the documentation in the table above is the whole game.

Update log

• August 8, 2026 — Correction. We downloaded and opened the actual certificate PDFs instead of reading only the product pages. American Peptides' testing laboratory IS named on the certificate — Bioviridian Inc., signed by a named chemist — which the first pass recorded as 'not shown' because it does not appear on the product page. Endotoxin results are published on that certificate rather than merely claimed. Added the finding that Bioviridian holds no ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and describes it as 'in progress'. Also checked whether the certificates are a reused template: four downloaded files shared no imagery, so they are not.
• August 7, 2026 — Page rebuilt as a supplier comparison. Four vendors reviewed against their public product pages; prices and testing documentation recorded as displayed on that date.
