TL;DR
COAs ensure purity, dosing accuracy, and vendor accountability.
Full Post:
COAs (Certificates of Analysis) are absolutely essential in the PEDs game, especially for SARMs, peptides, or any research chemicals. Here’s the deal: 1. Purity & Identity: A COA with third-party HPLC/MS results confirms the compound is what the label claims. Without it, you might as well be using tap water or worthless SARM powder—seriously, it happens more than you think. 2. Dosing Accuracy: If it’s only 50% pure and you assume it’s 100%, your dosing is way off. This leads to skewed results and increased side effects—no one wants that. 3. Avoiding Toxins: No COA means you have no idea if there are residual solvents, heavy metals, or bacteria. That’s a huge risk, even for “research.” 4. Vendor Accountability: Reputable vendors provide recent COAs linked to lot numbers. If there’s no COA? They’re likely hoping you’re too lazy or uninformed to ask for one. Bottom line: No COA, no trust. If you’re dabbling in research without a COA, you’re taking a gamble.
