Research Use Only Policy for Peptides in Australia
AminoBlend supplies peptides and related compounds for laboratory research, and for nothing else. Every order is accepted on that basis. This policy explains what research use only (RUO) means in practice, what we ask of buyers, and what we will do if an order looks like it is meant for a person or an animal. It forms part of our terms and conditions of sale.
What research use only means
An RUO product is made and labelled for in-vitro and laboratory investigation: cell culture work, assay development, analytical testing and similar bench research. It has not been assessed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or by any other regulator, as a medicine. It is not manufactured to the standards required for administration to people or animals, and it is not labelled for that purpose.
Our products are not medicines, foods, dietary supplements or cosmetics. They must not be given to a human or animal by any route. That applies to every format we list, including the capsule and nasal spray products, which are supplied as research materials in the same way as the vials.
Who can buy
Buyers must be 18 or older. Placing an order confirms that you meet the age requirement, that you are buying for genuine research, and that you have the training to handle research chemicals.
Regulatory status in Australia
None of our products are registered or listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. Some peptides are prescription-only medicines when they are supplied for human use in Australia, and supplying them for that purpose outside the prescription system can breach Commonwealth and state law. We do not supply anything for human use. Buyers are responsible for knowing the laws that apply in their own state or territory and institution.
Anti-doping
Several compounds in our range, including BPC-157, TB-500, ipamorelin and the GHRH analogues, appear on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List. Our products are not intended for anyone bound by anti-doping rules.
How to read the information on this site
Product pages and research guides describe chemical structure, the mechanisms that have been studied, and what cell, animal and clinical literature has examined. That is background for researchers. It is not medical advice, it is not a dosing guide, and it is not a claim that any product works in people. The reconstitution calculator works out concentrations in a vial; it is a laboratory tool and nothing more.
No dosing or medical advice
Staff will not answer questions about doses, protocols, administration or medical conditions, whether asked by email, phone or the contact form. Messages of that kind receive a short reply pointing to this policy.
When we cancel an order
Typical signs are order notes or emails that mention personal use, doses, injecting, cycles or treating a condition. A cancelled order is refunded in full, and we may decline further orders from the same buyer.
Handling, storage and disposal
Research compounds should be handled only by trained people in a suitable laboratory, using appropriate protective equipment. Store each product as its label and our peptide storage guide describe, and dispose of unused material under your institution's procedures and local rules.
Buyer responsibility
From delivery onwards, the buyer is responsible for how products are stored, used and disposed of. To the extent the law allows, including the Australian Consumer Law, AminoBlend is not liable for loss, injury or damage that results from using a product in breach of this policy.

Research Use Only Policy for Peptides in Australia Explained
What Does Research Use Only Mean on an AminoBlend Label?
RUO marks a compound made and labelled for laboratory investigation, such as cell culture work, assay development and analytical testing. It has not been assessed as a medicine, is not made to the standard needed for administration, and must not be given to a person or animal by any route.
Do Capsules and Nasal Sprays Fall Under the Same Policy?
They do. The 60-capsule packs and 10 mL nasal sprays look like consumer formats, but they are supplied as research materials on exactly the same terms as our lyophilised vials. The format changes nothing about permitted use.
What Does a Buyer Confirm by Placing an Order?
- That they are at least 18 years old.
- That the purchase is for genuine research.
- That they have the training to handle research chemicals.
- That they accept this policy as a condition of sale.
Why Is No AminoBlend Product Registered With the TGA?
Entry on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods applies to products supplied as medicines, and we do not supply anything for that purpose. Some of the same peptides are prescription-only when provided for human use, so buyers must check the rules of their own state, territory and institution.
Which Signals Lead Us to Cancel an Order?
Order notes or messages that mention personal use, doses, injecting, cycles or treating a condition lead to cancellation and a full refund. We may also decline later orders from the same buyer.
How Should Site Information and Tools Be Read?
Product pages describe structure and what cell, rodent and clinical literature has examined; that is background, not advice. The peptide calculator only works out concentrations in a vial, and handling should follow the storage guide for lyophilised and mixed peptides alongside your institution's procedures.
