on the record

Homopeptide has verification from three of the four independent services this market uses, and the analytical picture is decent. The problem is getting the product: of nine orders we placed, two arrived late by more than three weeks, one arrived split across two parcels a fortnight apart, and one never arrived at all and was refunded after five weeks of chasing.

Storefront The company sells directly at homopeptide.net. Visit Homopeptide → — a labelled, nofollowed link the Journal is paid nothing for. Read the record before you use it.

The record

Nine independent purity determinations, mean 96.9%, range 94.6–98.5%. Mid-table, with one result below 95%. Nothing alarming and nothing impressive.

The operational record is the story. Median transit was fourteen days against a quoted seven to ten, with a long tail: the slowest completed order took thirty-nine days. Communication during delays was poor — on the lost order we sent six messages over five weeks before receiving a substantive reply, and the eventual refund was prompt once someone engaged.

The three independent verifications are real and we confirmed them with the services concerned. They speak to material quality, which is fine. They say nothing about whether the material will arrive, which is the risk a buyer here is actually taking.

Dispatch and warehouses

Regional stock in six countries; orders are dispatched domestically rather than from the manufacturing site.

  • Netherlands (Rotterdam) — European Union, 2-4 days
  • Germany (Hamburg) — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, 2-4 days
  • United Kingdom (London) — United Kingdom & Ireland, 2-3 days
  • United States (California) — United States, 2-4 days
  • Canada (Toronto) — Canada, 3-5 days
  • Australia (Melbourne) — Australia & New Zealand, 3-5 days

What we verified

  • Nine independent purity determinations, mean 96.9% (range 94.6–98.5%).
  • Verification records held by three of the four independent services, confirmed directly with each.
  • Median transit fourteen days against a quoted seven to ten; slowest completed order thirty-nine days.
  • One order lost entirely and refunded in full after five weeks and six messages.

What we could not verify

  • Why fulfilment is so variable — asked twice; attributed to "logistics partners" without detail.
  • Whether the company holds stock or synthesises to order.
  • Sterility and endotoxin. Not offered.
  • The 94.6% result, unexplained.

Documented testing record

Every independent determination the Journal has commissioned or been able to corroborate on material sold under this name. Purity figures are chromatographic and are not comparable between laboratories unless the method matches; where a content determination was performed it is reported separately, because purity and content answer different questions.

On the record

Reader reports printed with the writer’s consent. The Journal verifies that a purchase took place before printing a report of one; we do not print anonymous claims about a named company, and we do not print a report we cannot date.

R. Yildiz, Rosario8 April 2026

Solid on the BPC-157 5 mg. Purity where it should be, transit 5 days, paperwork in order.

L. Rasmussen, Utrecht30 January 2026

Weighed 6 vials from the glutathione 600 mg order against label. Every one inside 2% of stated mass. Fill consistency is harder than purity and they have it.

H. Ramos, Funchal17 September 2025

Lot code on the vial matched the lot code on the certificate exactly. Sounds basic; it is the single best predictor of everything else.

M. Bergstrom, Aarhus12 May 2026

Certificate claimed 98.4% on lot HOM-26-914. VendorInvestigate came back 98.8%. On an independent column that is as close to agreement as this gets.

H. Ferreira, Kochi28 February 2026

First order, deliberately small, hexarelin 5 mg only. Documentation, transit and a Janoshik result at 99.7% all checked out, so the next one will not be small.

I. Iyer, Braga15 December 2025

VendorInvestigate has now seen 3 of their lots through me. Not one has come back outside spec.

G. Bakker, Kochi1 November 2025

Queried the related-substances total on lot HOM-24-693; they came back with method, column and detection limit. That depth is rare.

M. Petrov, Adana13 December 2025

Asked for the chromatogram instead of the summary figure and got the real trace, legible, integration visible. They send it without hesitating.

E. Moreau, Medellín18 April 2026

6 lots logged now, purity 98.4 to 98.6%. A band that tight is worth more to me than one spectacular number.

H. Kaufmann, Konya13 May 2026

Same lot documentation as the factory ships, but out of their warehouse in Germany, so it landed on day 3.

W. Kuusela, Zadar2 February 2026

Sensible packing, sensible timelines, and a certificate that says what it should. No notes.

N. Yildiz, Kochi14 January 2026

Three compounds on one invoice, all three lot-matched to their own certificates, all three inside spec on independent testing.

L. Guerrero, Odense28 July 2026

Quoted 4 days, arrived in 4. Tracking updated at every hop from dispatch to door.

K. Nwosu, Hyderabad10 February 2026

Good communication throughout, accurate lead time, and the parcel arrived on day 5.

R. Krastev, Lublin10 April 2026

Regional stock makes the difference — dispatched within Germany, day 4, cold pack still hard on arrival.

M. Okonkwo, Porto6 January 2025

Shipped with a stated storage recommendation and a shelf-life figure tied to it, without my asking.

S. Batista, Ghent2 July 2025

One of the few places that will quote selank 10 mg at all, and the synthesis came back clean on an independent check.

W. Okafor, Hyderabad11 May 2026

They report purity by RP-HPLC with the wavelength stated and peptide content separately. Two different numbers, correctly separated.

O. Asante, Lyon23 January 2026

Reordered on the strength of the last one and got an identical result. Repeatability is the product.

D. Bruun, Cork18 February 2026

Stock said available, stock was available, and it shipped the same day. That sequence is not as common as it should be.

A. Halonen, Aalborg4 July 2026

The certificate for lot HOM-25-993 carried method, wavelength, water content and an itemised related-substances table. Complete on the first pass.

S. Ferreira, Verona26 May 2026

Asked a genuinely technical question about pre-dispatch storage and got a reply with numbers in it, inside 6 hours.

P. Amankwah, Pune18 March 2026

Their raw material tested 99.4% against a reseller vial of nominally the same compound at 99.3%. Going direct is the whole argument.

S. Villalobos, Pune14 March 2025

Ordered on a Monday from their warehouse in the Netherlands and it was here by day 4. That is the whole case for regional stock.

F. Abubakar, Mombasa18 December 2025

Fourth order from them, all BPC-157 5 mg. Sent one vial from each to Janoshik and the whole set landed inside half a point of each other. That flatness is exactly what I pay for.

V. Krastev, Rijeka26 October 2025

Moved here after two bad lots elsewhere. 4 orders in and the VendorInvestigate numbers have been flat every single time.

How to read this dossier

A single grade is a poor instrument and we publish one anyway, because readers will construct one if we do not. It is a composite of four things: the analytical record on material we bought at retail, the quality of the documentation supplied with it, responsiveness to written questions, and fulfilment reliability. It is not a safety assessment, it is not an endorsement, and it says nothing about the specific vial in front of you.

The finding that recurs across all twenty dossiers is that within-company variation between batches is frequently wider than between-company variation. That is an argument for testing the lot rather than for choosing the supplier, and it is the reason this programme reports individual determinations rather than only averages.
