  • Facts are dated and cited; absent data lowers confidence, never the score (absence isn’t evidence of bad).

WHOIS: Domain age corroborates a recent launch: crushresearch.com registered 2025-09-26 (NameCheap; last updated 2025-10-25 per search snippet — WHOIS not opened directly), and the founder narrative states the company was founded in October 2025. The current .shop storefront was relaunched 2026-04-13. Identity caveat: the only business address on record (1309 Coffeen Avenue STE 1200, Sheridan, WY 82801) is a high-volume Wyoming registered-agent / virtual-office address shared by numerous unrelated companies — including Xcel Research LLC, which received an FDA warning letter on 2024-12-10. Sharing this mailbox does NOT imply any connection to Xcel, but it means the address is not evidence of an operational HQ. The seed's 'Florida' HQ hint could not be confirmed in any source. who.is

What this vendor proves about identity, purity & potency

Publishes COAs
policy on record
Third-party tested
independent lab
Independent tests tracked
1 on file
GMP / ISO claim
not on record
Vendor states every batch is third-party tested with a Certificate of Analysis printed on each label and published on a public Testing/Third-Party Results page; reviews describe multi-vial per-batch testing for mass and purity (HPLC) with identity by mass spectrometry plus endotoxin (LAL) screening, and the .shop relaunch added planned heavy-metals and sterility testing on select batches. Founder 'Rory' is credited by community reviewers with pushing batch/lot numbering as a vendor standard. Lab attribution is inconsistent across sources: peptidestack and other reviews describe 'batch-specific Janoshik' testing, while a forum thread references Freedom Diagnostics — neither lab is independently confirmed on the COAs by this crawl. Standard caveat: a COA should be verified on the issuing lab's own server.

Methods: HPLC (purity) + mass spectrometry (identity) + endotoxin / LAL screening; multi-vial per-batch testing (vendor- and review-stated). Heavy-metals and sterility testing described as planned on select batches.. Labs: Janoshik Analytical (review-stated, e.g. peptidestack — not independently confirmed on COA by this crawl), Freedom Diagnostics (community-reported on GLP-1 Forum — not independently confirmed).

Overall safety rating 'B' (Good), average score 8.4/10 across 4 tested samples spanning a single product (Retatrutide), testing period 2025-12-13 to 2026-03-16. Identity pass rate 100%; median purity 99.8% with ~100% of passing samples at/above 98%. Scores were highly variable (high 9.8 on 2026-01-26, low 6.0 on 2026-03-04, most-recent 8.5 on 2026-03-16), which Finnrick attributes to significant batch-to-batch differences. Labs anonymized as 'Lab E' and 'Lab G'.

~4/5 over ~25 reviews per search snippet; profile not opened directly (403). Reviews praise price, fast shipping, responsive owner.

5/5 community rating over 17 reviews; lists 'Lab Verified COAs' and a 10%-off code 'peptidecritic' (possible affiliate relationship).

Safety rating 'B' (Good); 8.4/10 average across 4 tests on 1 product (Retatrutide); median purity 99.8%; variable batch scores 6.0-9.8.

Algorithmic validator gives crushresearch.com 28.8/100, tagged 'Risky / Dubious / Perilous' — consistent with a very new domain; not an investigation or adjudicated finding.

Reputation across independent channels skews positive but the vendor is young (founded Oct 2025): Trustpilot (crushresearch.com) ~4/5 over ~25 reviews (figure from search snippet, profile not directly opened), Peptide Critic 5/5 over 17 reviews, and Finnrick rates it 'B'. Tempering factors: Scam Detector's algorithmic validator scores crushresearch.com 28.8/100 ('Risky/Dubious') — typical of a brand-new domain and not an adjudicated finding; the only confirmed payment rail is Zelle (no buyer protection); and several review sites carry discount codes for the vendor, so positive coverage may carry affiliate bias.

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 Crush Research legit?
Crush Research is a US-facing research-peptide retailer launched in October 2025 by a founder who goes by 'Rory' / 'Peptok'. Independent signals are mostly positive for a new vendor: Finnrick Analytics rates it 'B' (8.4/10, median purity 99.8% on tested Retatrutide), Peptide Critic shows 5/5 over 17 reviews, and Trustpilot ~4/5 over ~25 reviews. Caution points: it is very new with a short track record, the only confirmed payment method is Zelle (no buyer protection), its listed address is a shared Wyoming registered-agent mailbox, and several positive review sites use vendor discount codes. PeptideCompass computes no vendor score — weigh the cited facts yourself. Research use only.
Who runs Crush Research and when was it founded?
Per the vendor's own about narrative and review writeups, Crush Research was founded in October 2025 by 'Rory', a retired military veteran and former traveling field service engineer who built a social-media following as 'Peptok' (TikTok) criticizing high prices and weak testing in the peptide market. The crushresearch.com domain was registered 2025-09-26. Research use only.
What payment methods does Crush Research accept?
Reporting conflicts and appears to have changed over time. The April 2026 .shop relaunch (per the Gray Market writeup) added credit-card checkout plus crypto and Zelle (with crypto/Zelle discounts). However, the most recent review (peptidestack) states the card integration ('BarterPay') is 'temporarily suspended', leaving Zelle as the only active option. Zelle offers no buyer protection or chargeback recourse, so only the Zelle rail is asserted here as currently confirmed. Research use only.
Does Crush Research provide COAs / lab testing?
Yes — the vendor publishes a Testing / Third-Party Results page and states a COA is printed on every batch label, with multi-vial per-batch HPLC purity, mass-spec identity and endotoxin screening. Independent Finnrick testing of Retatrutide returned a median 99.8% purity and 100% identity pass, though batch scores varied (6.0 to 9.8). Lab attribution is inconsistent across sources (Janoshik per reviews, Freedom Diagnostics per a forum) and is not confirmed on the COAs by this crawl. Verify any COA on the issuing lab's own server. Research use only.
Where does Crush Research ship and how fast?
The vendor advertises fast US domestic shipping (reviews cite ~3-5 business days) plus international shipping, with free shipping over $200. Carrier and detailed return/reship policies were not confirmed in available sources. Research use only.
