Second this. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Third-party testing services for certificates of analysis besides Janoshik:

• Janoshik: Gold standard for peptide community, ~$131, 10-14 day turnaround
• Valitech: US-based, ISO 17025 accredited, ~$211
• Eurofins: Full pharmaceutical testing suite, more expensive but comprehensive
• ChemTox: Basic identity and purity testing, ~$111

Janoshik is the community standard but any ISO-accredited analytical lab can verify peptide identity and purity. The key is independence — don't rely solely on the vendor's own testing.

One thing that is still open after wendy_avl’s answer:

How long did you give it before you decided it was working?

Moderator note: leaving this open. It is being argued well and the disagreement is the useful part. No action needed from anybody.
