If you have searched our name with the word “legit” after it, you are doing what a careful buyer should do before sending money to a research supplier for the first time. This page sets out, in one place, who we are, what we sell, to whom, and how you can check each statement yourself against the pages of this site and against public records. Nothing here asks you to take our word for it.
Who we are
Battle Born Peptides is the seller named in our Terms and Conditions, trading through battlebornresearch.com. The store is located in Hudson, Florida, and the Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida with disputes heard in Florida courts. Every order on this site is a contract with that seller, under those Terms. The Terms, the Refund Policy and the Privacy Policy are linked from the footer of every page, and each carries its effective date.
Our support email is info@battlebornresearch.com and support hours are Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am to 9:00 pm Eastern. The contact page carries a form that reaches the same inbox.
What we sell, and to whom
We sell lyophilized synthetic peptides and a small number of laboratory reagents as reference materials for in-vitro research. The catalog is organized by receptor family and pathway rather than by any intended use, and every product page carries a specification table with the molecular formula, mass, amount per vial, form, HPLC purity specification and sealed shelf life, plus the sequence for every defined synthetic peptide. The full catalog currently lists 46 products in ten categories.
Orders are accepted from research institutions, licensed researchers, universities and laboratory R&D purchasers. The site carries an age gate on entry, and section 15 of the Terms requires every purchaser to warrant that they are at least 21 years of age, that they are buying in a research capacity and not as a consumer, and that they will use the products solely for in-vitro research or analytical work. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order where we believe a prohibited use is intended, and section 18 of the Terms records that we do not provide preparation, handling or dosing guidance and will not do so on request.
How our products are tested
Every product we sell is analyzed by an independent laboratory using high-performance liquid chromatography. The HPLC purity specification on each product page is 98 percent or higher by area. The result for a product is available on request: reply to your order confirmation or write to the support address with the product name and the closure colors on your vial, and we will send the chromatographic result that applies to it.
Two points about that process deserve to be stated plainly, because they are the questions a skeptical buyer asks first. Our vials do not carry a batch or lot number. A vial is tied to its HPLC result by the color of the crimp and the cap, which is why we ask for those colors when you request a result. And an HPLC area-percent figure measures chromatographic purity; it is not a measurement of net peptide content, of sterility or of endotoxin, and we do not claim any of those. A longer explanation of what the test establishes and what it does not is on our page on how we test and specify research peptides.
The Refund Policy adds a check you control. If you have a vial purchased from us analyzed by an accredited third-party laboratory and the report shows the material below our stated purity specification, we refund the order for the affected product and reimburse the cost of the test up to a specified amount, on submission of the report and the laboratory invoice within 30 days of receiving the product.
How we ship
Orders ship only within the United States, from inside the United States, as tracked domestic parcels. We do not ship internationally and the Terms require that the shipping address is in the United States. Standard shipping takes 3 to 7 business days and expedited shipping 1 to 3 business days; standard shipping is free on orders over $100. A tracking number is emailed when the parcel is dispatched. Our shipping and payments FAQ covers transit in hot or cold weather, what to do if a parcel is lost or arrives damaged, and how shipping rates are shown at checkout.
How you can pay
Checkout accepts credit cards. It also offers “Pay after check out”, which lets you place the order and settle it by Zelle, Apple Cash, Venmo, bank wire, cryptocurrency or a mailed check; an order placed that way is held until the payment arrives and then dispatched on the same schedule as a card order. Bulk pricing applies automatically by quantity on each product: 5 percent off 2 to 4 vials, 15 percent off 5 to 9 and 20 percent off 10 or more. A discount code does not combine with bulk pricing, so the checkout applies whichever one you have chosen and tells you so.
What happens if something is wrong
All sales are final except in the cases the Refund Policy sets out, and those cases are the ones that matter: a product that arrives defective or damaged (report it within 48 hours of receipt, with photographs, for a refund or replacement), a parcel lost in transit (report it within 30 days of the expected delivery date; we trace it with the carrier and then refund or resend), and a failed independent purity test as described above. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method within 5 to 10 business days. Shipping fees are not refunded unless the parcel was lost or the error was ours.
Where to check for yourself
Read the Terms and Conditions, including the research-use addendum in sections 13 to 26, and the Refund Policy, because those two documents, not this page, are what bind us. Open any product page and compare the sequence and formula in its specification table against the PubChem, ChEMBL or UniProt record linked under the identity references on that page. Request the HPLC result for a product before you order, and read it against the specification table. Read the research library, which runs to more than 180 articles on peptide identity, chromatography, specification and procurement, and judge whether the writing reads like a laboratory supplier or like a marketing site. And if you want a second opinion on a result, our article on choosing an independent laboratory to test a research peptide explains what to ask for.
What this site does not do
We do not sell products for human or animal use, and no product in the catalog is a drug, a dietary supplement, a cosmetic or a medical device. We make no claim about what any compound does in a living organism, and the research-context lines on product pages describe analytical and in-vitro settings only. We do not give preparation, handling or dosing guidance, in writing or by email, and a request for it may result in an order being refused. We do not quote laboratory names, test results or dates that we cannot produce on request. If a page on this site ever appears to contradict one of these statements, tell us at the support address and we will correct the page.
All products are sold for laboratory research use only and are not for human or animal use. Nothing on this page is preparation, handling or dosing guidance.
