What to Look for in Lyophilized Peptides¶
Lyophilized peptides are freeze-dried powder stored in small glass vials. They look like a white or off-white powder or "cake" at the bottom of the vial.
The appearance can give you helpful clues about quality, but remember: only independent lab testing (COA) can truly confirm purity and identity. Don't rely on appearance alone.
✅ Good Signs¶
- Solid cake at the bottom of the vial
- White or slightly off-white color
- Powder is not sticking to the glass
- No liquid inside the vial (it should be dry)
⚠️ Warning Signs¶
- No cake at all (looks empty)
- Wet or melted powder
- Strange colors (yellow, brown, etc.)
- Floating particles or broken glass inside

🔍 The Bottom Line¶
Your eyes are not enough. Even if the powder looks perfect, it could still be fake or impure.
Always ask your seller for a recent COA (Certificate of Analysis) from an independent lab. This is the only real proof of what you're buying.
