Should I use a US lab or an overseas lab for peptide testing?

Both can produce valid results. The practical differences are shipping (domestic 1–4 day transit vs international post plus customs), payment rails, jurisdiction, and how results are verified. If your customers need to verify certificates themselves, prefer a lab with a public, no-login registry — that's how our COAs work.
