Trust Index breakdown

DerivedV3

The Trust Index weighs five evidence pillars — purity claims-vs-reality, testing transparency, enforcement conduct, operational accountability and reputation integrity — into a single 0–100 factor. Nothing here can be bought.

Provisional — Insufficient Data. This listing is under review; the Trust Index is withheld until verification completes. A precise number is withheld rather than guessed — absence of evidence is never shown as a low score.

WHOIS: No primary WHOIS record was retrievable. ScamDoc reports americanresearch.net as 'very recent (less than 6 months old)' at the time of its assessment and that the owner's identity is hidden in the WHOIS database - i.e. an anonymous, newly registered domain. This is hard to reconcile with secondary 'American Research Labs' references describing an established vendor and with graveyard reports that 'American Research Labs' shut down in 2025; the name may have been re-registered or belong to a different operator. scamdoc.com

GMP / ISO claim

Secondary review site The Peptide List states American Research Labs 'provides certificates of analysis (COAs) from independent third-party laboratories,' and multiple Trustpilot reviewers reference 'third-party lab reports.' UNVERIFIED: no COA page, named testing lab, or per-compound certificate could be located for americanresearch.net directly, and no public independent assay (Finnrick / Janoshik / vialaudit) for this domain was found. The 'American Research Labs' name collides with several unrelated entities (see knownDomains), so even the secondary COA claim cannot be cleanly attributed to this domain.

Trustpilot (americanresearch.net)Positive2025-2026

~16 reviews, mostly positive: customers praise fast shipping/tracking, customer service, third-party lab reports, and ease of buying tirzepatide and other peptides 'in different dosages.' Caveats: tiny unclaimed sample and at least one reviewer self-identifies as an affiliate of the vendor.

TitrateLab - Peptide Vendor GraveyardNegative2025

Lists 'American Research Labs' among mid-tier peptide vendors that 'exited without announcements' during the 2025 FDA-enforcement/Lilly-Novo-lawsuit wave (alongside Peptide Sciences, Amino Asylum, Paradigm Peptides, Science.bio, Royal Research, Peptide Tech Labs, Unchained Compounds). CAVEAT: 'American Research Labs' collides with multiple entities; this may not refer to americanresearch.net, which appears to be a newer, separately registered domain.

The Peptide Catalog - 'Peptide Vendors Shut Down 2025-2026'Negative2025-2026

Corroborates the TitrateLab graveyard: names 'American Research Labs' as one of the mid-tier vendors that collapsed in the 2025-2026 enforcement wave, 'failing quietly enough' to generate little forum discussion. Same brand-collision caveat applies - attribution to americanresearch.net is unconfirmed.

The Peptide List - vendor directoryPositive2026

Editorial review of 'American Research Labs' as an active US-based research-chemical vendor offering peptides with third-party-lab COAs, competitive pricing, and 3-5 day shipping. Presents the vendor as operating (present tense), conflicting with the graveyard 'shut down' entries.

4 platforms on record — scores differ by scale; read the notes

Trustpilot4.3(16)

Positive but very small, unclaimed sample; one 5-star reviewer self-identifies as an affiliate (review-incentive conflict). Reported as 4.3-4.4 / 15-16 across snapshots.

ScamDoc—

Algorithmic 'Very Low Trust Score: 9%'. Flags that the domain is very recent (less than 6 months old at time of assessment) and that the owner's identity is hidden in WHOIS; only positive signal is HTTPS. Directly contradicts the positive Trustpilot rating.

TenereTeam (coupon aggregator)5.0(8)

5.0/5 from 8 users on a third-party coupon-aggregator page (lists 'up to 70% off' codes, dated Dec 2025). Low reliability: TenereTeam auto-generates merchant pages and has itself been accused of fraudulently listing companies and non-existent coupons. Not an independent endorsement.

The Peptide List—

Editorial directory review of 'American Research Labs' (ties to the 16-review Trustpilot profile): describes a US-based research-chemical vendor with COAs from independent third-party labs, competitive/low pricing, and 3-5 day shipping. Secondary synthesis, not a primary test.

Trustpilot profile for americanresearch.net shows ~4.3/5 across ~16 reviews (figures reported as 4.3-4.4 / 15-16 across snapshots). Sentiment is positive (praise for shipping speed, third-party lab reports, customer service, and ease of buying tirzepatide/peptides), BUT the sample is very small, the profile appears unclaimed/unverified, and at least one five-star reviewer self-identifies as an affiliate of the vendor (a review-incentive conflict). This positive Trustpilot picture conflicts sharply with ScamDoc's 9% trust score and with vendor-graveyard reports that 'American Research Labs' shut down in 2025 (see community/issues). Treat as fragmented and gameable.

Cross-vendor price ranking is intentionally not computed

The Trust Index rates each vendor against a fixed evidence rubric — it never ranks vendors against each otheror sorts the directory. Naming a “best-value” vendor per compound would require exactly that cross-vendor sort, so we don’t.

FAQ

CitedV31

Is American Research (americanresearch.net) legit?

The record is thin and conflicting. The site's Trustpilot profile is positive (~4.3/5) but tiny (~16 reviews), unclaimed, and includes a reviewer who is an affiliate of the vendor. Against that, ScamDoc assigns a 9% trust score, noting the domain was registered less than six months ago with the owner hidden in WHOIS, and two peptide 'vendor graveyard' trackers list an 'American Research Labs' as having shut down in 2025 - though that name collides with several unrelated companies. PeptideCompass computes no vendor score; weigh the cited facts yourself. Research use only.

scamdoc.com

Does American Research provide lab tests or COAs?

Indirectly. A secondary directory review (The Peptide List) says 'American Research Labs' supplies certificates of analysis from independent third-party laboratories, and Trustpilot reviewers mention 'third-party lab reports.' No COA page, named lab, or independent assay was located for americanresearch.net itself, so the claim is unverified. Research use only.
