What Core Peptides says about testing and certificates
Core Peptides names Vanguard Laboratory, an A2LA-accredited US lab, and says each batch is tested by HPLC, with an average purity of 99.45 percent on its homepage and a COA posted on each tested product’s page. That is a clear, checkable setup. Healio Peptides uses a different independent laboratory, Quantum Life Sciences, and shows more of the certificate on the page itself: purity, identity by ESI-MS, mass found, endotoxin and the lot number, for the batch currently on sale, in a library you can browse by compound.
Where Core Peptides is strong
Core Peptides names its laboratory and posts the COA on each tested product page, ships same day for orders before 4 PM ET, states a 30-day refund request window, and says it has served the research community for more than seven years. Its policy page carried a September 2026 update date.
What a Healio Peptides certificate shows: TB-500 as a live example
This table reads the current TB-500 batch directly from the certificate, so it updates when a new batch is released. The full report, with every test line, is on the TB-500 COA page, and the compound itself is at TB-500 for sale.
| Current TB-500 batch | |
|---|---|
| Batch | HEALIO-TB500-2612 |
| Analysis date | 23 June 2026 |
| Purity (HPLC) | 99.1% |
| Identity (ESI-MS) | Confirmed, conforms to the reference standard |
| Endotoxins (LAL) | Under 0.5 EU/mg (limit 5 EU/mg) |
Every Healio Peptides batch is tested by Quantum Life Sciences, an independent laboratory in Portland, Maine. Purity is measured by HPLC, identity by mass spectrometry and endotoxins by the LAL method, and the certificate is published before you order. The same page also shows the mass found against the labeled content, which is the figure that tells you how much compound is actually in the vial.

Tools and research content
Healio Peptides publishes an interactive reconstitution calculator for each of its compounds, a COA library and a library of research comparisons that state what each compound’s studies cover and where they stop. Content is written around research questions that matter to women, with the evidence limits stated plainly. Core Peptides’s public pages did not show an equivalent tool set.
Questions to put to Core Peptides before you order
The public pages left some points open, and a supplier that can answer them quickly is showing you how it works. Worth asking:
- Does the certificate include an endotoxin result, and what is the limit?
- Which laboratory issues the certificate, and can I contact it to confirm the report?
- How do I match the batch or lot on the certificate to the number on my vial?
- What is the window to report a damaged or defective order, and what is the remedy?
Which supplier fits which researcher
- Core Peptides may fit if: you value a later same-day cutoff and a refund window stated in days.
- Healio Peptides may fit if: you want a lower free-shipping threshold, calculators and research comparisons alongside the certificates.
Neither choice is a verdict on the other supplier. The right supplier is the one whose certificate for your batch you have read and matched to your vial.
How to check any supplier’s certificate
Three checks cover most of it. First, confirm the laboratory is named and independent of the seller. Second, match the batch and lot numbers on the certificate to the vial you receive. Third, look for both purity by HPLC and identity by mass spectrometry, plus an endotoxin result. The vendor checklist has the full twelve points, and reading a certificate of analysis explains each line.
