“Research chemical” / not for human consumption

Definition

Peptides sold with a label saying they are not for human use — a disclaimer meant to sidestep drug regulation while the marketing addresses people who plainly intend to inject them. ⛔ There is no prescriber, no pharmacy, no accountable party and no way to establish what is in the vial. This register does not list these sellers, and no price comparison here should be read as covering them.
