Frequently Asked Questions
What are research compounds and how are they used?
Research compounds are laboratory-grade chemicals used in scientific studies, academic research, and development projects. They are not approved for human or veterinary use. These compounds are typically studied for their effects on metabolism, cell regeneration, aging, and more — under controlled lab settings and by qualified researchers.
At ATLAS, we supply these compounds strictly for research and analytical purposes only.
Are your compounds legal to purchase in the Philippines?
Yes — when used appropriately.
Our compounds are sold as research chemicals, which are not classified as drugs or supplements. They should only be used in accordance with RA 6969, DENR, and PDEA guidelines.
As with any chemical substance, legality depends on the intended use, volume, and classification of the compound. Buyers are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
Are your compounds good quality?
Yes.
We source only from reputable ISO-certified laboratories and require Certificates of Analysis (COAs) and purity reports from our suppliers. Most of our peptides are tested via HPLC and Mass Spectrometry (MS) to verify content and purity (typically ≥99%).
Our primary supplier uses Janoshik, one of the most trusted independent testing labs in the industry, for third-party verification. These Janoshik reports confirm both molecular identity and purity and are available for most products upon request.
Furthermore, we source from the same suppliers that manufacture peptides for clinical human trials.
what does "for research use" mean?
When a product is labeled “For Research Use Only,” it simply means it is not FDA-approved. This is a regulatory requirement — FDA status is an administrative step, not a measure of quality.
What It Means in Practice
- Research compounds are used by academic institutions, independent researchers, and clinical trials.
- If you’re studying results personally, that still qualifies as research.
What Actually Reflects Quality
- FDA approval does not guarantee quality — it only adds regulatory clearance and higher costs.
- COAs (Certificates of Analysis) are the real proof, showing the exact purity of each batch.
- Our suppliers are world-class manufacturers trusted to produce peptides for ongoing human clinical trials.
The Bottom Line
The “research use” label is technical. What truly matters is that every Atlas Compounds product comes with a third-party tested COA, proving its purity and consistency.
