Research use policy

APH Science sells two kinds of product. This page is the line between them - research materials on one side, food and dietary supplements on the other. Read it before you order.

1. Two catalogues, two rules

Some SKUs on this site are food or dietary supplements (protein, creatine, gummies, vitamins, similar). Those are labelled for that use on the product page. Follow the label.

Other SKUs are research compounds (including SARMs, research peptides, and stacks built from those). Those are sold for laboratory and in-vitro research only. They are not food, not a dietary supplement, not a licensed medicine, and not for human consumption.

If a product page says research use only, that is the intended use. Do not treat marketing tone, reviews, or training talk on the rest of the site as a change to that label.

2. Research compounds

Research-labelled products from APH Science are supplied as laboratory materials. By placing an order for those products you confirm that:

  • You are 18 or over.
  • You will use the material for lawful laboratory or research purposes only.
  • You will not consume it, administer it to any person or animal, or present it as a medicine, food, or supplement.
  • You are responsible for handling, storage, and disposal under the rules that apply where you work.
  • You will not resell it as a food, supplement, or medicine, or relabel it to hide the research-use status.

We do not offer medical, veterinary, or dosing advice for research compounds. Nothing on a product page, FAQ, quiz result, or email is a substitute for your own protocol and local law.

3. What we do not claim

APH Science does not claim that research compounds diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We do not claim they are approved by MHRA, FDA, EMA, or any other medicines regulator for human use. Customer reviews describe other people's experience. They are not instructions and they do not override this policy.

4. Food and dietary supplements

Protein, creatine, collagen, gummies, vitamins, and similar lines are labelled as food or food supplements on their product pages. For those products:

  • Follow the serving and allergen information on the pack.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not exceed the stated serving unless a qualified professional has told you otherwise.
  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or have a medical condition, get advice before use.

Food and supplement SKUs are still not licensed medicines.

5. Testing and documentation

APH Science uses third-party testing on research lots where we say so on the product page. Certificates of analysis (CoA) or purity notes are available on request for batches we have documented. A CoA is a lab result for that lot. It is not a licence to consume the material and it is not a medical certificate.

If a page does not mention a CoA, do not assume one exists. Email info@aphscience.com with the product name and, if you have it, the batch or order number.

6. Age, import, and local law

You must be 18 or over to buy research compounds from this site. You are responsible for whether the SKU is lawful to import, hold, or use in your country, state, or workplace. Customs, sport governing bodies, and employers have their own rules. We do not clear those for you.

If your destination restricts a compound, do not order it. We may cancel and refund an order we cannot lawfully ship.

7. Storage and handling

Store research materials as the product page or pack states - typically sealed, dry, away from heat and light. Peptide vials may have extra reconstitution notes on that page. Do not use a product if the seal is broken or the material looks compromised. Dispose of unused research material through the route your lab or local rules require. Do not put it in household recycling as if it were a food supplement.

8. Stacks and bundles

A stack that contains any research-labelled bottle is still research-use for those bottles. Buying them together does not turn them into a food supplement. Read each SKU in the bundle.

9. Website, quiz, and emails

The quiz, emails, and blog are shopping and education tools. They do not change the intended use on the product label. If copy on a marketing page conflicts with this policy or with the product page, the product page and this policy win.

10. Contact

Questions about a specific SKU: info@aphscience.com or the contact form. Include the product name and order number if you have one.

This policy was last updated August 2026. We may change it when the catalogue or the law changes. The version on this URL is the current one.
