Review
all reviews from ionpeptide.com are fake. Everything they sell is fake. The COA's are all from testing companies that are fake

Do you have any proof of these allegations? They seemed alright to me, so I'm curious to see why your review says these things.
-
I've got a big order coming on Thursday, so I guess we'll find out soon. Customer service was on point for the two times I dealt with them. I think if the products were fake there would be much more outrage. They have thousands of orders.
I'm also super suspicious of a brand new account that comes on here simply to flame a vendor.

I've used Ion a lot. Never had a problem and tge peps performed perfectly.
-
Ion sold me Epithalon that had an effect like a real Epithalon should have, and no side effects. On the other hand, I got Epithalon from Verified Peptides, that had a Janoshik batch COA, but it caused bad side-effects and no expected effects. So, I trust Ion in this case.

What about these looks fake?
I agree, it's a little odd that they're bouncing all over the place between AFI, Kovera, freedom and ILS.
@Randy Many vendors are using multiple labs due to testing delays. Some switched from Freedom when they decided to do full panel testing.
Ion has added a ton to their portfolio and they sell out batches fast. So probably using multiple testing labs.
I'm in a couple of other communities where Ion is quite popular. Haven't seen anyone complaining about quality. I've used Ion too without any problems.
OP hasn't given substantial evidence why they claim COAs are fake.

@Commander Full panel — net content, purity, ID, endotoxins, heavy metals, sterility or more.

@Commander Just as we are discussing Ion's chaotic lab choices, on another forum the admin made some explanatory posts about Ion's choices.

So looks like a lot of people are raising questions. But I still don't think they use fake COAs or do any cheating.

@pep_researcher just saw it
There's been a lot of noise around ION lately — questions about COAs, multiple lab usage, batch failures. I want to share my perspective with you guys directly because this community is where I'd rather have the conversation, not in the TikTok comments.
What I Know About the Lab Situation
A while back, Shay told me he wanted to move ION toward 7X testing across different companies. To do that, he tried to go to AFI — but AFI doesn't offer endotoxin testing. So he started cross-testing with both AFI and Freedom Diagnostics to cover the full panel.
That's the context behind the multi-lab situation. It wasn't COA shopping. It was trying to build a more complete testing program when no single lab covered everything he wanted. -

Have you ever had any issues with any of their stuff? Actually I take that back I know of one problem you've had, but I'm not aware of the resolution.
To all you reviewers who don't bring receipts, mine is attached. Up your game.

@gym.rat The issue I had with the GHK/KPV blend was crystallized when reconned first 2 vials. I reached out to Shay, sent pics, he sent me 6 new vials from new batch. Pulled the entire batch from their shelves per se. Received the new batch in 3 days, no issues encountered so far.
Add’l items: KPV, ARA, TA-1, capsule creams, Reta all worked fine for me

I just ordered 3 different things from them today. I have received several orders from them with no issues.

I think you are referring to Derek's forum. Hehe
I don't think Shay is in this for short term to just grab customer money and close shop.
They have massively expanded their custom made product catalog. One wouldn't do that for quick grab money and go kind of business runs where they manipulate COAs for convenience.
