01Vendor Index

We rank vendors on proof, not on price.

One scorecard applies to every vendor. We check four things: an independent laboratory, a COA that matches your lot number, a disclosed analytical method, and clear country of origin. A vendor earns a high score when you can check its claims yourself. We publish the certificate we used. You can open it.

The thesis

A vendor earns trust by making itself auditable. If you can't verify a claim, it's marketing.

We anchor every score to publicly verifiable certificates of analysis — batch-matched, third-party, method-disclosed. No affiliate deals, no paid placement, no exceptions.

03Status Registry

Same molecule. Different rules.

We track the status of each compound by region, and we link every row to the regulator that published it.

Now

The FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee reviewed BPC-157, TB-500, KPV and MOTS-c on 23 July 2026. We track the outcome.

United States · compoundstatus
  • Semaglutide

    The FDA approves semaglutide as a prescription medicine. The FDA declared the shortage resolved on 21 February 2025. Enforcement discretion for 503A pharmacies ended on 22 April 2025 and for 503B facilities on 22 May 2025. On 30 April 2026 the FDA proposed to exclude semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide from the 503B Bulks List.

    Approved
  • Tesamorelin

    The FDA approves tesamorelin for one clinical indication. Any other use falls outside the approval.

    Approved
  • BPC-157

    The FDA placed BPC-157 in Category 2 in 2023. A 503A pharmacy cannot compound it. The Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee reviewed it on 23 July 2026 for the 503A Bulks List. WADA names BPC-157 under S0 and prohibits it at all times.

    Research-only
  • TB-500

    No FDA approval. The Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee reviewed TB-500 on 23 July 2026 for wound healing. WADA prohibits it in sport.

    Research-only
  • Ipamorelin

    No FDA approval. The FDA placed ipamorelin acetate in Category 2. WADA prohibits it in sport.
