Value Research Labs Review: Pricing, COAs, Testing, and What We Found
An independent Value Research Labs review covering its priced research catalog, GLP-1/2/3 house labels, and provider-verified Horizon Analytical and ILS Laboratories certificates.
Value Research Labs is now a curated vendor on PeptideBenchmark. The decision is based on evidence researchers can inspect: openly listed vial prices, a public certificate archive, and laboratory report identifiers that resolve independently where the client name matches.
The main finding is a mixed but checkable certificate trail. PeptideBenchmark reviewed 102 vendor-hosted certificate PDFs across 40 archive products and independently confirmed 41 relationships at Horizon Analytical or ILS Laboratories under the Value Research Labs client name. Average reported purity on extracted reports was about 99.3%.
Reviewed August 18, 2026. PeptideBenchmark has no affiliate, coupon, sponsorship, or paid-placement relationship with Value Research Labs. The vendor sells research-use-only products; this is a commercial-transparency and documentary-evidence review, not human-use guidance or medical advice.
The short version
We found:
- a research catalog with 52 in-stock, mg-normalized vial rows published to Pricing and Stack Builder;
- 0 unresolved pricing deferrals after recovering dosages from product image labels;
- 5 non-comparable support, non-peptide, free-gift, or IU-labeled products retained in the coverage audit;
- 102 certificate PDFs on the public archive, 41 independently confirmed at Horizon Analytical or ILS Laboratories under the Value Research Labs client name;
- house labels GLP-1 (SM) / GLP-2 (TZ) / GLP-3 (RT) mapped to semaglutide / tirzepatide / retatrutide;
- a very new storefront domain (registered June 2026) and no verified street-level public address.
Researchers get inspectable list prices and a downloadable certificate archive. Provider verification applies only where Horizon or ILS binds the report to Value Research Labs. Some archive lots resolve under a different laboratory client name and are retained as vendor-hosted documents without that badge.
What we found in the catalog
Value Research Labs lists research singles and blends with standing prices on the public storefront. Variable products expose strength options (for example MOTS-c, NAD+, glutathione, and the GLP house-label families). PeptideBenchmark publishes only rows that are in stock, have a clean compound identity, and can be normalized by milligrams.
| Catalog result | Count | PB treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog product rows | 57 | Retained in the coverage audit |
| Comparable vial rows | 52 | Published to Pricing and Stack Builder |
| Deferred | 0 | — |
| Out of scope | 5 | Bacteriostatic water, Lipo-C, L-Carnitine, free-gift BAC, IU-labeled HCG |
Important house labels include:
- GLP-1 (SM) → semaglutide
- GLP-2 (TZ) → tirzepatide
- GLP-3 (RT) → retatrutide
- GLOW / KLOW / CJC-Ipamorelin / Tesa / Ipa / Semax/Selank blends with alias mapping where needed
Shipping and fulfillment claims observed on August 18, 2026: domestic US shipping, free 2–3 day shipping at $49.99+, otherwise $4.99, free 3 mL bacteriostatic water with every order, and a 2pm ET cutoff. Treat those as dated vendor statements.
Promotion observed the same day: the storefront advertises buy one, get one 50% off, and anonymous carts automatically applied that pair discount across eligible merchandise (same product or mixed). Paid bacteriostatic water did not unlock the offer. PeptideBenchmark models the verified pair economics on Pricing and Stack Builder; re-check the live cart before buying because promotions change.
What we found in the certificates
The public certificate archive links each product to one or more downloadable PDFs. Most lots are Horizon Analytical purity and endotoxin reports; a smaller set of combined reports are issued by ILS Laboratories and print laboratory portal verification links.
PeptideBenchmark confirms a report only when the laboratory’s public lookup returns the Value Research Labs client name. That produced 30 Horizon-verified and 11 ILS-verified relationships. Remaining archive PDFs stay in the evidence set as vendor-hosted documents — including some Horizon files whose laboratory record attributes the lot to another client name.
A matched certificate documents the named sample. It is not a blanket sterility, endotoxin, or physical-vial endorsement for every shipment.
What this review does not claim
- It does not rate product efficacy, safety for human use, or “legitimacy” as a binary label.
- It does not treat a laboratory report as proof about every vial that later ships under the same product name.
- It does not verify a street-level headquarters or fulfillment address beyond the vendor’s US shipping claim.
- Sale banners and promotional language can change; re-check cart terms at purchase.

Common questions
Is Value Research Labs legitimate?
PeptideBenchmark does not issue binary legitimacy or product-safety endorsements. We confirmed an openly priced research catalog, a public certificate archive, and report identifiers that resolve independently at Horizon Analytical and ILS Laboratories under the Value Research Labs client name where ownership checks succeed. Those facts create an inspectable evidence trail; they do not establish the condition or safety of a physical vial.
Does Value Research Labs publish COAs?
Yes. The public certificate archive publishes product-linked Horizon Analytical and ILS Laboratories PDFs. PeptideBenchmark confirmed 41 of 102 reviewed certificate relationships against those laboratories under the Value Research Labs client name and retains the remaining vendor-published documents without provider-verification badges when the laboratory attributes the lot to another client.
What do GLP-1 (SM), GLP-2 (TZ), and GLP-3 (RT) mean?
They are Value Research Labs house labels. The catalog identifies GLP-1 (SM) as semaglutide, GLP-2 (TZ) as tirzepatide, and GLP-3 (RT) as retatrutide.
Where is Value Research Labs located?
The vendor states it ships from a domestic US facility and is based in the USA. PeptideBenchmark did not verify a street-level public address on the contact, shipping, or home pages during this review.
Does PeptideBenchmark have an affiliate relationship with Value Research Labs?
No. At the time of this review, PeptideBenchmark had no affiliate, coupon, sponsorship, or paid-placement relationship with Value Research Labs.
