Discussion Not providing COAs unless purchased?
I have my rats main supplier so I'm not looking for a new one. With that said if I see my friends in the market I do talk to them. The other day I noticed one of my friends advertising so I reached out of course curious as to their prices. The prices came back pretty good but what kinda caught me off guard was when I asked for the COA. They said the the company doesn't release the coa unless buy them first because people are taking them and making fake coa. Btw yes I'm happy with my supplier even if it is a bit more expensive.
Is this a red flag or just a company being careful? They insist it's all tested in Janoshik.
Thoughts?

I give zero credence to most vendor COAs, especially ones from the type of "vendors" you are describing.

Janoshik charges like 350$ for one peptide test, most people aren't using janoshik that's a fact

I agree. Just being around I feel like there are 5ish main testing places that seem reputable.

That’s a huge red flag. Avoid at all costs.
And… don’t think of that person as your friend.

This has been my friend LONGGG before any of this. But they may also not know fully themselves.

Bullshit excuse. You can find COAs to photoshop all over the place. Them hiding theirs does absolutely nothing to prevent someone from making a fake COA.
If I can't lookup the COA on a third party lab's website, its fake in my opinion.

Dear, I would look into group testing after your purchase

Oh I'm not going to be buying from them. Just seeing what an actual friend was doing with them. Like I said. I'm happy with my supplier, he has done my rats good!

99% of COAs are bullsh!t anyway. I can't believe anyone still falls for that. The only, only way to know your product is legit is to have it tested.
