Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about what verification covers and how to use it.

What does a Pur3ity seal actually prove?

That a specific batch was tested in our lab on a stated date and met the thresholds on its Certificate of Analysis, identity, purity, potency, heavy metals, endotoxins and sterility. The serial on the seal links the physical vial to that exact report.

Does "verified" mean a product is safe to use?

No. Verification confirms what's in a product and its purity as tested, it is not a safety guarantee, a medical endorsement, or government approval. Many peptides are sold for research use only. See Trust & Standards.

How do I check a seal is genuine?

Read the serial printed under the hologram and enter it on the verify page. It must resolve to a report and match the product you're holding. Genuine seals shift colour when tilted and leave a "VOID" mark if peeled.

A brand I like isn't listed. Are they fake?

Not necessarily, they may simply not be a Pur3ity partner yet. It only means we haven't independently tested them, so any purity claim they make is unverified by us.

Does one seal cover every bottle a brand sells?

No. Verification is per production batch. A seal reflects the batch whose number it carries, which is why we re-test new batches rather than verifying a brand once and forever.

What's tested, and is lead included?

Identity (mass spec), purity (HPLC), potency of each active in mg vs. the label, heavy metals including lead (ICP-MS), bacterial endotoxins (LAL), and sterility. Full methods appear on each batch's COA.

How do I report a fake or a mismatched seal?

If a seal's serial returns "not found," doesn't match the product, or looks tampered with, email report@pur3ity.com with the brand, serial, and a photo. We investigate every report and flag confirmed counterfeits.

How long is a verification valid?

Each report shows a "valid through" date. After it lapses the result still reflects the batch as tested, but you should look for a current batch or ask the brand for a re-test.
