Independent peptide vendor verification.
Merit Verified catalogs independent COA evidence for peptide vendors and surfaces the Disclosed Labs A–F grade on every vendor card. Phase 1 ships the evidence layer: 2,500+ third-party COAs linked to peptide, lab, lot, and batch. Merit Verified's own 0–100 trust score arrives in Phase 2 with a methodology we can stand behind. Built so you can stop reading a dozen subreddits before every order.
Our principles
No paid placement
Trust signals cannot be bought. No vendor pays to appear higher in the directory or to remove a flag.
Methodology in the open
Phase 1's trust signal is third-party — the Disclosed Labs grade we surface verbatim. When Merit Verified's own 0–100 score ships in Phase 2, the rubric, weights, and data sources will be documented here. Score moves will get a changelog entry.
Scores move as evidence moves
A trust signal is a snapshot, not a verdict. Re-graded on a rolling basis when new COAs land, vendor status changes, or rankings update.
No commercial entanglement
The Merit Verified team does not manufacture peptides, hold equity in vendors we surface, accept compensation tied to specific listings, or process orders.
What we surface this phase
Phase 1's trust signal is third-party evidence, not a Merit Verified-computed score. Two pieces compose it:
- Disclosed Labs grade (A–F) + 0–10 score
- Independently assigned per vendor by Disclosed Labs. We surface it verbatim with attribution; we do not modify or weight it.
- COA evidence
- 2,500+ third-party tests on file, linked to peptide, lab, lot, and batch. Sorted recency-first; NULL-purity rows sort last. Linkable, auditable, third-party-issued.
What's coming in Phase 2
Merit Verified's own 0–100 trust score, built on the COA evidence base. The methodology is in development and will be published in full when the score ships. Until then, the Disclosed Labs grade is the trust signal.
A short note on what this is not
This is not medical advice. The research-only regulatory status on most peptide listings is not a marketing flourish — it's the actual legal framing. Talk to a clinician who knows your full picture before doing anything with this information.
This is not a sales channel. Merit Verified does not stock, ship, or process orders. Listing URLs go directly to vendor sites. The trust score determines the order vendors appear in; it does not endorse purchase.
This is not the whole picture. Peptide vendors operate in a grey market with limited public disclosure. We score what's observable. Where evidence runs thin, we say so.
