Ordering peptides from overseas?

weight78 · May 4, 2009

Does anybody know the legality in this with products and amounts?
Any help would be great.

From all that I can find out, they are legal unless they are sold as a prescription item in the US. Sermorelin is an example of that. Otherwise they are just amino acids..... The amount shouldnt matter. I may be wrong, but i haven't heard of anyone getting a peptide order stopped.

I would recommend that you do some research regarding the possession of "research only" chemicals by a non scientific entity (including an authentic researcher).

Many chemicals found in a standard lab are for professional research use only and you must be a research entity (lab, university, etc.) to purchase/possess them (based on my experiences in lab). It's similar to trinitrotolune (TNT).....it's a common chemcial but you just can't go out and buy it at Home Depot to make bombs. It's a controlled chemical for professional use only (with a license).

Legality varies by state and/or country.

How are these research sites buying and selling it then? If I had to get some kind of a license It would be worth it.

I don't want to get into how or why certain sites do what they do. I will just caution people to not make assumptions regarding the legality of chemicals simply because they do not require a Rx. The rest of the due diligence is up to you dudes.
