The Distribution Policy is the supply-chain document. It explains how the peptide is synthesised and lyophilised, how it is filled into sealed vials, who tests the lot, who ships the parcel, and what the rules are for resale, counterfeits, institutional accounts and partnership inquiries. Read together with the Shipping Policy and the Refund Policy, it describes the operational backbone of the company.
PepNation is the supplier of the lyophilised research peptides sold on pepnation.co. Synthesis and lyophilisation are carried out by our laboratory partner under a direct, written supply arrangement. PepNation does not source from the grey market, does not relabel and does not repackage. Lot identifiers are assigned at fill and carried unchanged on the vial label, the certificate of analysis and the order paperwork.
PepNation does not cover, alter or re-print a lot label. The lot identifier on the vial you receive is the identifier on the certificate published for that lot, and the identifier referenced on your order confirmation.
Every lot PepNation supplies follows the same four-step pipeline. The pipeline is auditable by lot identifier from the storefront product page: each lot's two independent-laboratory PDFs reference the lot identifier, and each Order confirmation references both the lot and the certificates.
Every lot has an independent-laboratory record on pepnation.co, available to registered members, before the lot is sold to a Researcher. Researchers can verify the certificate before a purchase decision, not after, by reading the two PDFs linked from the product page. The PDFs are issued by the independent laboratory on the laboratory letterhead and are independent of any document PepNation produces.
After delivery, the same two PDFs are referenced on the order confirmation, on the parcel exterior label and on the certificate-of-analysis library at /lab-testing. The certificate library is the canonical, version-controlled record of every lot PepNation has supplied; it is also the record we work from when a researcher invokes the certificate guarantee in the Refund Policy.
From fill through laboratory sampling and storage to dispatch, each lot is held at 2 to 8 °C and protected from light. Orders are sealed in tamper-evident packaging, dispatched on an expedited service, and should be refrigerated by the Researcher on arrival (see section 02 of the Shipping Policy).
Packaging integrity is verified at each handoff. Tamper seals are applied at the warehouse and inspected at delivery. Where a tamper seal is broken at receipt, or the Order arrives damaged, it is treated as a shipping failure under the Refund Policy and replaced free of charge.
Products supplied by PepNation are sold strictly to qualified Researchers for in-vitro laboratory work. Resale, redistribution, repackaging, relabelling, listing on consumer marketplaces or social-media DM channels, or onward transfer to a non-Researcher consumer is forbidden as a condition of sale. The eligibility attestation in the Terms of Service is the operative restriction; this section is the supply-chain corollary.
Where PepNation identifies a counterfeit, diverted or repackaged listing of a PepNation vial on a third-party marketplace, social-media account or storefront, PepNation files a takedown notice. Where the listing references a real lot identifier, PepNation also flags the underlying Order and the Researcher Account that originated the lot for review.
Counterfeit listings (whether they reference PepNation, a real lot identifier, or a fabricated identifier) should be reported to compliance@pepnation.co with a screenshot and the listing URL. PepNation maintains an internal counterfeit register, files takedown notices with the marketplace operator, and publishes a quarterly summary of takedowns at /lab-testing for transparency.
Researchers who buy what they believed to be a PepNation vial from a non-PepNation channel and discover the lot does not match a published independent certificate are encouraged to report through the same channel. PepNation cannot honour the certificate guarantee on third-party purchases, but the report helps the takedown effort and is appreciated.
PepNation ships worldwide to qualified Researchers, except to the destinations on the no-ship list published in the Shipping Policy. Inclusion on the no-ship list is driven by sanctions, customs rules, courier capacity, and local-law restrictions on receipt of research peptides. The no-ship list is updated as those constraints evolve and is honoured at the Order-confirmation step.
Where a Researcher destination is on the screened list rather than the no-ship list, PepNation may request additional documentation (for example, an institutional letter, an end-use statement, or a research-use exclusion declaration) before the Order ships. The screening exists to satisfy customs and the carrier, not to obstruct the Researcher.
Bulk and institutional accounts are accepted on application to compliance@pepnation.co. The application requires the institution legal name, registered address, the named Researcher role, the institution research-use letter, and the expected order cadence. Approved institutional accounts may be granted bulk pricing, net-terms billing, and direct-courier-account billing at the institution election.
Reseller-style accounts (that is, accounts that propose to redistribute PepNation-supplied vials to onward Researchers) are not granted as a default. The default is a single-Researcher or single-institution account. Where PepNation agrees to a reseller relationship for a specific jurisdiction, the relationship is documented in writing, the reseller is listed publicly at /lab-testing, and the reseller is bound to the same eligibility, attestation and distribution terms that apply to direct researchers.
Press inquiries (interviews, fact-checking, embargoed access to a new lot certificate, public-facing partnership announcements) are handled through press@pepnation.co. PepNation responds to press inquiries within two (2) business days during normal news cycles.
Lab partnership inquiries (for example, an analytical laboratory proposing an additional independent test, a journal proposing a method-development collaboration, or a contract-research organisation proposing a study reference standard) are handled through compliance@pepnation.co. We respond within five (5) business days.
The supply arrangement between PepNation and its laboratory partner is reviewed annually. Material changes (for example, a change of laboratory partner, addition of a second testing laboratory, change of the courier set, or a change to the shipping territory) are signposted on the Site at /lab-testing and at /about, and material changes that affect Researcher rights under any other policy in this set (Terms of Service, Privacy, Shipping, Refund) are notified by email to all Account holders at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect.
