 "synopsis": "❌ Don't trust their 'COA'. They claim 'third-party / lab tested' but never name the lab and publish no verifiable certificate, an unnamed, unpublished test is just a marketing claim.",
 "scrutiny": "Its product pages read 'Direct Peptides guarantees a minimum purity of 99% for most of its peptide products and 98% for more complex peptides'. Behind that claim there is no named laboratory and no certificate you can pull up, so a buyer is asked to take the number on trust. A purity number a buyer cannot trace back to a laboratory is marketing, not evidence.",
