About Peptides SA

Peptides SA is an independent reviews and information site covering peptide vendors that ship in South Africa, and the compounds most commonly discussed in that market. We started it because the two things a buyer actually needs — "does this vendor's documentation hold up?" and "what does the science and the regulator actually say about this compound?" — were hard to find answered plainly and in one place.

What we do

• Fetch and read each vendor's own site directly, and score it against the same eight weighted criteria every time.
• Publish compound guides (semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide and others over time) grounded in FDA/EMA-type regulatory documents and peer-reviewed trial data, not marketing copy.
• Say plainly when a claim — ours or a vendor's — couldn't be independently confirmed, rather than smoothing it over.

What we don't do

• We don't accept payment for a ranking position or a score.
• We don't sell peptides, and nothing here is a recommendation to use any peptide outside a registered medicine and a prescription.
• We don't independently lab-test vendors' products ourselves — see how we rate for exactly what our verification does and doesn't cover.

How we're funded

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you buy through them — see our affiliate disclosure. Commission never affects a score; scores are set from the criteria on the methodology page before any commercial relationship is considered.
