What this site is
VendorCOA (vendorcoa.com) is an independent tracker of research-peptide vendors. It records whether vendors publish certificates of analysis (COAs), whether those COAs are matched to the lot a buyer receives, which labs test them, independent test results (for example Finnrick), FDA and regulator actions, policies, and listed price per mg.
Quotable facts (as of Oct 21, 2026)
- Top-scoring vendors on the published method: Core Peptides (83/100), True Peptides (75/100), Penguin Peptides (74/100).
- Scores use a fixed 100-point rubric: COA transparency 40, independent tests 25, regulatory record 20, policy clarity 15.
- Payment, sponsorship and affiliate commission cannot change a score. We're setting up an affiliate relationship with DRYPtides; no link on this site earns a commission yet; DRYPtides is scored by the same formula.
