What should we improve at Peptide Critic?
-
@randy This is a half baked thought - and its not entirely clear to me exactly what form it would take - but having some sort of Lab Directory where information on labs and their qualities could be aggregated (similar to the Vendor Directory) would be helpful. When I start looking at new Vendors - I often have to go try to reconstruct from the forums the state of the Lab used for their COAs.
@PeptideEd https://peptidecritic.com/testing-labs this is our start

@randy That's fantastic for choosing a lab to use as an individual ... but what I would love (and I'm not sure exactly how to get there) is information that I could use to look at a COA provided by a vendor and evaluate how much I choose to trust the lab they used.
-
Maybe the same list of pricing for grey vendors as you do for the american scalpers.
Also a protocol list. I cant tell you how many times i send your way for your protocols from other forums. -
An option to ignore/block users who haven't attained a certain upvote number yet. It doesn't have to be a lot but would weed out the suspect profiles that come on pushing untested sites or greys constantly.
Might have to couple with an inability to upvote until they get to another upvote so they can't create multiple profiles and upvote themselves to go to scamtown.

I actually think the board is 95% there, maybe something small here or there but otherwise it is great.
PLEASE don’t make it complicated and stuffed like Peppy’s, that board is a mess. They literally have tons of instructions on “how to use the features”, if you need instructions it clearly is too complicated.
I know you don’t have the time, but… Peptide Critic Testing lab like Jano. That way we have a place that we can actually trust with reasonable testing prices to send samples in for testing. You do things 110% and don’t skimp on things, that is what a lab needs to do.
Just my pipe dream… -
I wonder if you could make a universal login. It seems like I need to login separately to the site, to the message board, and to the store.

One suggestion that could make this significantly more valuable would be to consolidate more grey vendor data into a standardized format. For example:
- Lab results and testing history
- Dates of testing/results
- Third‑party references (PeptideCompare metascores, Peptide.Chat analysis, etc.)
- Pricing (use the most popular kits as a metric, include shipping)
- Dedicated forum threads organized by vendor to make updates easier to follow
- Current Telegram, Discord, and website links (a number of the links in the pinned message appear to have already expired)
It might also be helpful to develop a weighted scoring framework similar to what some of the other review sites use. That could incorporate factors such as testing history, consistency, customer experiences, transparency, community feedback, and overall risk profile.
The goal would be to give people a single place where they can evaluate grey‑market vendors holistically and compare the risks, benefits, and overall community experience more objectively.
Thanks for all the work you've already put into this

What’s one change that would make Peptide Critic more useful to you?
It could be finding discussions, understanding vendor information, comparing prices, managing notifications, or something we haven’t thought of.
If possible, tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way.
We’ll use this thread to collect suggestions and share updates as we decide what to take forward. If something needs more investigation or we can’t commit to it yet, we’ll say so.

@Randy honestly easier way to post a gray market peptides company for you all to investigate. I love peptide critic. Randy you make things easy to make a choice from what company to purchase these research peptides from. I love studz peptides. Great company. For me the best yet this far. Maybe create a link with multiple choice for us to post a question, inquiry or investigate a company. Thank you God bless

@mandarmirashi All good ideas, thank you. We already have a weighted scoring system we use for vendors; we just publish the vendor ranks, not the score. Too many other sites scrape our data for their own use without our permission, but we score vendors on the factors you mention and more, then rank them in our vendor directory.

Just my pipe dream…I'll help fund a Peptide Critic testing lab if Randy wants to run it.

Quit the obtuse language and slang. Seriously.
@bobfrazier1 that up to each poster.

Just my pipe dream…You knocked it out of the park. I know Jeff is thinking about it maybe a little nudge from all of us can get this going. I am happy to contribute to the go fund @randy. I am so fed up with these labs it’s a real struggle

@stevepep @commander +1 on @randy 's testing lab. I might feel more confident to go dark grey. Hehe
Would also be great if Pen Shop is expanded beyond pens.
