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.
What does "For Research Use" mean?
When a product is labeled “For Research Use Only,” it means it is not FDA-approved for human consumption. This is a regulatory requirement, not a reflection of quality.
What it means in practice:
- Used by universities, labs, and independent researchers.
- Personal study or self-experimentation still counts as “research” under this definition.
What actually reflects quality:
- COAs (Certificates of Analysis): Independent third-party tests verifying purity and consistency.
- Trusted manufacturers: Our suppliers are world-class facilities that also produce peptides for ongoing clinical studies.
Bottom line: The RUO label is technical. What matters is that every Atlas Compounds product is COA-verified.
Are you compounds legal to purchase in the Philippines?
Yes — when purchased and used appropriately.
Our products are sold as research chemicals, not as drugs, food, or supplements. They should only be used in accordance with RA 6969, DENR, and PDEA guidelines.
Legality depends on intended use, volume, and classification of the compound. Buyers are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Are you 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%).
Furthermore, we source from the same suppliers that manufacture peptides for clinical human trials.
