No open Scam Watch flags Pass
No unresolved counterfeit, non-delivery, or COA-forgery reports on file. 2026-08-29: TWO PRIOR ITEMS CONFIRMED CLOSED IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR. (a) The 'HEALING SALE' claim is refuted a FIFTH time - today's banner is verbatim '(backpack emoji) BACK TO SCHOOL SALE | Up to 50% Off Select Products' with utm_campaign=BackToSchoolSale0826, and no 'HEALING SALE' text exists on any page read. STOP RE-CHECKING IT. (b) The SafeCert/'CLIA certified' category error REMAINS REMEDIATED on re-read: product pages name three labs with independent check paths - 'MDx BioAnalytical Laboratory certificates carry a QC tracking number and a search code', 'BioRegen reports of analysis carry a Report ID and a Validation Key', and 'SafeCert Labs certificates, which appear on a number of earlier batches, carry a COA number and the signature of the reporting chemist' - and 'CLIA' APPEARS NOWHERE on the product, About or returns pages. Both items closed. reship_policy MOVES PENDING -> PASS: both sentences are confirmed still co-resident on /refunds-returns/, verbatim - 'Due to our rigorous quality control standards and the fragile nature of our products, we cannot accept returns' AND 'We accept returns on unopened supplements within 10 days of delivery; all returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee and will be refunded minus the cost of the return shipping label.' The net effect is a return path for SUPPLEMENTS and NONE AT ALL for PEPTIDES - the inverse of what a peptide directory's users need - but the check asks only for A STATED POLICY and one is stated. OPEN QUESTION FOR FRANK, carried not resolved: whether 'no returns, clearly stated' should satisfy that check at all. TWO NEW OBSERVATIONS TODAY, NEITHER SCORED: (i) the About page asserts 'BioLongevity Labs is THE ONLY research peptide supplier that independently verifies every batch through three separate certified laboratories. This is not a marketing claim - it is a process.' - an exclusivity superlative that is not independently verifiable and would not survive a challenge; this is now a seventh vendor behind the proposed 'claims match documents' check. (ii) The Cortagen 20mg page states 'Cortagen shows significant neuronoprotective and regenerative properties, particularly in the context of nerve injury' - NOT SCORED as a health claim because it is literature-attributed with four numbered citations under an explicit RUO disclaimer, but it is the closest thing to one on the site and is worth watching. pricing_transparency held at PENDING - not re-read today, not downgraded.
|| PRIOR: 2026-08-28: TWO LONG-CARRIED ITEMS CLOSE IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR; ONE DECISION STILL SITS WITH FRANK. (1) THE 'HEALING SALE' CLAIM IS REFUTED A FOURTH TIME - RECOMMEND CLOSING IT PERMANENTLY. Today's bar, verbatim and identical across every page read: 'BACK TO SCHOOL SALE | Up to 50% Off Select Products' (utm_campaign=BackToSchoolSale0826). Four consecutive non-observations; stop re-checking unless a timestamped screenshot surfaces. (2) THE SafeCert/'CLIA CERTIFIED' CATEGORY ERROR IS REMEDIATED. Product pages now carry a rewritten verification section naming three labs with independent check paths: 'MDx BioAnalytical Laboratory certificates carry a QC tracking number and a search code', 'BioRegen reports of analysis carry a Report ID and a Validation Key', and 'SafeCert Labs certificates, which appear on a number of earlier batches, carry a COA number and the signature of the reporting chemist.' SafeCert is named but the word CLIA appears NOWHERE, and SafeCert is now correctly scoped to LEGACY batches. The About page reads only 'Every compound we produce is tested by three independent certified laboratories' / 'Triple Third-Party Testing'. This item can be closed. Cosmetic, not adverse: the verification block says 'tested by both laboratories independently' while listing three. (3) STILL FOR FRANK - reship_policy FAIL RECOMMENDED, HELD AT PENDING. Verbatim and unchanged, both sentences on the same page: 'Due to our rigorous quality control standards and the fragile nature of our products, we cannot accept returns' directly above 'We accept returns on unopened supplements within 10 days of delivery; all returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee.' The net effect is a return path for SUPPLEMENTS and NONE AT ALL for peptides - the inverse of what a peptide directory's users need. Frank should decide whether 'no returns, clearly stated' satisfies a check that asks only for A STATED POLICY. Not resolved here. The 256-entry COA archive count is CARRIED UNVERIFIED - /all-coas/ exceeds the fetch size cap and the homepage itself exceeded it today (70,353 chars); the marketing bar was read verbatim off /refunds-returns/, /about-us/ and a product page instead.
|| PRIOR: 2026-08-27: THE 'THE HEALING SALE' ITEM IS REFUTED A THIRD TIME AND SHOULD NOW BE CLOSED PERMANENTLY. Today's marketing bar, verbatim and identical on all three pages read: 'BACK TO SCHOOL SALE | Up to 50% Off Select Products' (link carries utm_campaign=BackToSchoolSale0826). Three consecutive non-observations. Unless a timestamped screenshot surfaces, this must stop being re-checked and stop being carried. NEW ITEM RAISED FOR FRANK - reship_policy RECOMMENDED FAIL, HELD AT PENDING because it is a policy-design question rather than a defect, and the six-check list arguably only asks whether a policy is STATED. The refunds page carries a blanket 'Due to our rigorous quality control standards and the fragile nature of our products, we cannot accept returns' sitting directly above 'We accept returns on unopened supplements within 10 days of delivery; all returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee and will be refunded minus the cost of the return shipping label.' THE NET EFFECT IS A RETURN PATH FOR SUPPLEMENTS AND NONE AT ALL FOR PEPTIDES - the inverse of what this directory's users need. Frank should decide whether 'no returns, clearly stated' passes this check. pricing_transparency moved to pending: the shop was not read end-to-end this run (fetch size cap), so this is a limitation, not a downgrade. THE SAFECERT / 'CLIA CERTIFIED' CATEGORY ERROR MAY HAVE BEEN REMOVED, and the prior adverse record is downgraded accordingly. The About Us page now reads only 'Every compound we produce is tested by three independent certified laboratories' and 'Triple Third-Party Testing' - SAFECERT IS NOT NAMED AND THE WORD CLIA DOES NOT APPEAR ON ANY PAGE READ FIRST-HAND. Not every page was read, so removal is NOT confirmed sitewide; but the assertion that the CLIA framing PERSISTS is now UNVERIFIED and must not be repeated without a fresh first-hand hit. The most likely page (/quality-testing/) was provenance-blocked and needs a real URL next run. COA archive indexes 256 entries today, public and no login (prior state 257 - a counting-convention delta, NOT treated as a removal). Supplement conflation otherwise persists, recorded not scored: every nav 'Oral' line routes off-site to biolongevitysupplements.com.
|| PRIOR: 2026-08-26: THE 'THE HEALING SALE' ALLEGATION IS REFUTED FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE RUN AND SHOULD BE RETIRED. Today's server-side marketing bar reads verbatim 'BACK TO SCHOOL SALE | Up to 50% Off Select Products' (campaign identifier BackToSchoolSale0826). No 'HEALING' or 'HealingSale' string is present anywhere in the fetched HTML. Two independent non-observations on two different days; unless a timestamped screenshot surfaces, carrying this item further would be carrying an unsupported adverse claim, which is itself a compliance failure on our side. COA COVERAGE IS SUBSTANTIAL AND PUBLIC: 257 COA document entries counted first-hand at /all-coas/ (e.g. Klotho 260797, Klotho 260086), no login required. A third-party review claiming 364 is UNVERIFIED and was not used. THE STANDING LAB-CATEGORY CONCERN PERSISTS AND IS NOW PART OF A DIRECTORY-WIDE PATTERN: verbatim, 'Every peptide batch includes a Certificate of Analysis from SafeCert Labs, an independent CLIA certified facility. All chemical analysis is performed using HPLC with UV Detection coupled with Mass Spectrometry.' CLIA is a clinical-laboratory certification governing testing of HUMAN SPECIMENS; it is not an accreditation of competence for chemical purity work on research compounds, and citing it as though it were is the same category error found today in Koi's 'ISO/IEC 17025' claim about Freedom Diagnostics. Recorded, not scored - the testing methodology described (HPLC-UV + MS) is correct and the COAs are public; the defect is in how the credential is characterised. SUPPLEMENT CONFLATION PERSISTS, recorded not scored: 'We accept returns on unopened supplements within 10 days of delivery; all returns are subject to a 15% restocking fee', and every nav 'Oral' line routes off-site to biolongevitysupplements.com. RUO framing otherwise strong: 'Research Use Only (RUO) products sold here are intended solely for basic research... not for diagnosing a disease or condition in any patient.' reship_policy HELD AT PASS: the maker did not re-locate yesterday's explicit 'If the carrier confirms non-delivery, we will reship at no cost' language this run, but the site's pages exceeded the fetch size cap and were searched rather than read end to end - a non-find under a known access limitation is not a downgrade. No adverse reports; the only returns were automated trust-score pages (Gridinsoft 48/100), deliberately not scored. || PRIOR: 2026-08-25: TWO CHECKS MOVE IN THE VENDOR'S FAVOUR, AND THE EVIDENTIARY LIMIT ON BOTH IS STATED PLAINLY. 'THE HEALING SALE' BANNER WAS NOT OBSERVED in today's fetched homepage HTML (og:updated_time 2026-08-19T02:36:36-04:00) - no occurrence of 'HEALING', 'HealingSale', or any promo code; the only sale markup is per-product WooCommerce 'Sale!' badges. That banner, deliberately renewed for August as HealingSale0826, was the sole basis for no_health_claims sitting at pending, so no_health_claims PENDING -> PASS and no_scam_flags PENDING -> PASS (nothing adverse found anywhere this run). CRITICAL CAVEAT, RECORDED SO IT IS NOT OVERSTATED: this is 'NOT OBSERVED', NOT 'PROVEN REMOVED'. A JS-injected banner would not appear in a server-side fetch. If it reappears in a rendered read, no_health_claims should go straight back to pending - 'healing' is an outcome word and a sale code built on it is a health claim in promotional clothing. RUO framing is intact and explicit: 'All products are manufactured for research use only', plus a footer RUO Disclaimer ('intended solely for basic research, pharmaceutical research, or the development of new tests, not for diagnosing a disease or condition in any patient') linking to /ruo-policy/. THE COA CLAIM IS SPECIFIC AND NAMES ITS LAB, which is the standard: 'Every peptide batch includes a Certificate of Analysis from SafeCert Labs, an independent CLIA certified facility... All COAs are available before purchase', with a public index at /all-coas/. Note SafeCert is described as CLIA CERTIFIED, not ISO 17025 - the same distinction now being raised across the directory about Freedom Diagnostics; BioLongevity states it accurately and is NOT making a 17025 claim, which is the correct behaviour and is credited. Prices explicit in USD on-page (FLGR242 10mg $249.50-$9,580.80; Klotho $499.00-$10,179.60). Reship written and unconditional: 'If the carrier confirms non-delivery, we'll reship at no cost.' SUPPLEMENT CONFLATION STILL PRESENT AND STILL UNFIXED, recorded not scored: the peptide-vial site's own FAQ says verbatim 'We accept returns on unopened SUPPLEMENTS within 10 days of delivery', nav routes 'Peptides -> Oral' and 'Bioregulators -> Oral' to biolongevitysupplements.com, and a homepage block reads 'Looking for our supplements?'. Calling research peptides supplements is a category error with regulatory teeth; minor today, but it should be corrected. || PRIOR: 2026-08-24: no_health_claims PENDING persists with fresh first-hand evidence: sitewide 'THE HEALING SALE | 50% OFF' banner STILL LIVE (campaign tag HealingSale0826 — refreshed for August, i.e. deliberately continued therapeutic connotation); FAQ still says 'We accept returns on unopened supplements' — the supplements conflation persists, though oral products have been partially split to biolongevitysupplements.com (nav 'Oral' links point there). Return/shipping stated in FAQ (no returns on peptides; 10-day supplement returns). COA library (/all-coas/) stands. Scam-check not re-verified this run — carried pending. || PRIOR: 2026-08-23: FRESH EVIDENCE FOR THE CLAIMS PENDING, first-hand: current sitewide banner is 'THE HEALING SALE | 50% OFF SELECT PRODUCTS' (utm_campaign=HealingSale0826) — an outcome-flavored campaign name on an RUO catalog — and the FAQ states 'We accept returns on unopened SU [...earlier history truncated - see compliance-reports/ for the full record...]
