At first I thought "wow what a good job they are doing for the community" and I still mean it. I am a bit skeptical and a conspiracy theorist as well. Nothing in this world is free, could there be a different motive here ? are they just collecting information about who is supplying grey market and building a case on everyone ? I hope im so wrong , but one has to wonder. You send in a vial and they cover the cost of the testing. how sure are we that they even send it out to get tested? are they just keeping the product ? the amount of free vials they must be getting. Something to think about.

I agree. I never had a good feeling about them, even though I can’t point to anything concrete. Just something about the whole vibe felt off from the start. Obviously, like most people I’d love free testing, and I was excited when they first came. But when I dug a little into their website and saw their weird rating system, I definitely gave them a big side eye. And I’m not typically a conspiracy theorist but I’m honestly curious what their real motivation is, because i doubt that they’re doing this out of genuine concern for people or the goodness of their heart.

I also just looked at their website (which I haven’t been on in months) and they have SO many vendors listed - from BFF to Uther to SRY and so many more just out in the open. It’s a bit concerning.

No judgment at all toward anyone who’s used them but I’m definitely keeping a wide berth.

When shipping to a lab for testing what do you put on the “enclosed content” portion of the label?
“Peptide for research purposes only”
“Research peptide not for human consumption” does it matter what shipper you use, fedex or ups or usps?

I found Finnrick last night for the first time and came here to search to see if had been discussed. I looked at the people behind it - their investor used to be a personal friend of mine and I have 35 mutual contacts with their CEO - used to be in the same industry...small world. They are legit. I'd trust them. If I ever order a "kit", I'm going to send a vial to them.

This also confirmed my suspicion on a recent Retatrutide order - I think I might have had received an underfilled vial. I ordered from a different vendor this morning.

While this looks like a side project for those involved, I doubt they are doing this as a non-profit. I'm sure at some point they will sell memberships to get access to their data.

Thank you Random Internet Stranger for your compelling reasons we should trust the very well funded startup with mysterious motivations from an industry that astroturfing support is common practice.

Seriously dude, I'm making a joke but you have to understand how your post comes across as someone with very little post history here. If they are friends of yours, you should have them come here as an official representative and tell us why we should trust them, how they plan on making money, and why they use such shitty labs.

Did I miss something? How did discovering that you have mutual contacts with the Finnrick CEO confirm that your reta was underfilled?

That’s fair and I can see it from that POV. However, they have no revenue model so what would be the point? My only interest is as a consumer. I recently bought Retatrutide for the first time and was worried I got ripped off - the vendor got a "D" on Finnrick. Is there another site like this that does similar independent checks?

Re: "shitty labs" I clicked on a few of their COAs and saw Chromate and Trust Pointe? What makes them shitty? I'm genuinely asking - new to this world/market.

I just added the CEO on LinkedIn and I will suggest he come to this site if he responds. The investor is a billionaire and not even going to bother.

First, they have no "stated" revenue model. If they had no future revenue model, they wouldn't be getting billionaire investors.

Chromate isn't the worst but I would never use them. Trust Pointe is fine. They've used Vanguard which has been proven for just making things up. But they use Krause a lot which is a complete unknown that popped up out of nowhere. Theres a reason Jano has over a decade of trust built up in the community.

Their ratings are broken as well. A "batch id" bumps someone up 2 grade letters, but we all know they are meaningless. It also encourages new users to rely on a vendors reputation instead of testing their purchase.

Been close enough to the sillly valley to have my concerns. "If you're not the customer, you're the product". I don't doubt that some testing/insurance/rating scheme could work, if the market wasn't so grey. Sometimes billionaires fund weird stuff, but it's rarely out of the goodness of their hearts.

My hope would be that it would drive the market to be safer, if everybody knew everything was going to be randomly tested. There's just too many question marks and ways that goes sideways. It's not like insurance companies want prices to go down... they don't make money that way! It's not like pharma is going to just lay back and take it up the wazoo either.

Also, I'm definitely not doing video interviews about peptide research with these folks, unless I'm in a lab.

Yes, I think you are missing something. Where did I say that? Quite the leap.

All I'm saying is because of the people involved I know the site isn't a bunch of garbage or an attempt to drive peptide sales to a particular vendor. Unless everyone here is in on the scam, because the vendor I chose is the once most commonly recommended here! Not here to debate. My two cents. Trying to be helpful.

""If you're not the customer, you're the product"."

Of course this is true and I'm one of those evil tech CEOs that has put this model to practice across several companies. Regardless, it's a useful model and it wouldn't continue to work unless both sides got something out of it.

Since they are pre-revenue and using early stage funding, I'd guess they are using whatever is the cheapest lab, trying a few out, or whatever. Regardless of how they plan to monetize their site, I thought it was shocking how many Reta samples from Peptide Sciences had ZERO Reta - especially considering their price. One of those tests was from Jano. So, not BS, right?

No offense intended. You said, "This also confirmed my suspicion on a recent Retatrutide order - I think I might have had received an underfilled vial", and I wasn't sure how that suspicion was confirmed, based on the information given.

There is some historical context that is missing from that story. Funny enough, it's a great example of why batch ids are meaningless. tldr at the end of the year last year there was a huge spat of zero peptides that spanned many vendors. (some of them made it right)

The underlying problem is these vendors all get their supply from a very limited number of resellers and they all lie about batch numbers. So a bad "batch" makes its rounds through all the vendors every so often.

I'm not anti-capitalist and support people making money. I work in the same industry (and not tangentially, I'm a swe at a very prominent corp). I just want to know what it is I'm selling. Especially when were talking about illegal activities. And it's not like they are doing anything that we don't already do on our own. Making it public like that is a threat to my medication source though.
