Is Amino USA legit?

Amino USA scores 7.78 out of 10 (Strong, #13 of 100) as of November 5, 2026 and passes our testing gate: all 19 products we score carry a certificate, 19 confirmed with the issuing lab (labs we grade A). Its strongest area is pricing (8.3/10); its weakest is operating history (4.2/10), with over three years of records.

On lab evidence, the heaviest-weighted factor, Amino USA has independently verified third-party COAs, with COA work on record from BioRegen, Freedom Diagnostics Testing. Its lowest price per milligram in our data is on GHK-Cu (see the table below).

How this score was calculated

Every point below follows the published tables in our methodology, with the policy wording we scored and a link to where we read it. Evidence last checked October 22, 2026. Lab credibility is worked product by product from the certificates on file.

Lab credibility8.0/10

Each carried product (lab supplies excluded) is scored from the certificate on file for it, on the published lab rubric: 3 for a published certificate, then points for the laboratory, the verification key, the tests on the certificate and its purity, held to 0 to 10. A certificate that is self-issued, names no laboratory, or comes from a laboratory whose independence is not established scores a flat 2.0; a product with no certificate, a certificate the laboratory’s own record fails, or a posted copy that differs materially from the laboratory’s copy scores 0. Calculated on , the day this page was built; the date each certificate was tested is shown on its row.

Mean of 19 products: 153.5 ÷ 19 = 8.079.

  • −0.10CLAIM Claims the certificates do not support (cap −0.3): FAQ 'every batch undergoes rigorous testing by accredited independent third-party laboratories' while its certificates are BioRegen and Freedom Diagnostics reports, neither accredited

8.079 − 0.100 = 7.979, rounded to 0.1: 8.0/10.

Testing gate: 19 of 19 products have a certificate from a directory laboratory (not tier D, not self-issued) with the key confirmed at the laboratory. That is at least half, so the vendor counts as third-party tested and no cap applies.

Pricing8.3/10

We compared Amino USA’s current single-vial prices on 19 products, each matched to the same product and milligrams per vial, with the median price of the other vendors. Its typical price (the median ratio across those products) is 18% below the market median (ratio 0.82), which the published scale maps to 8.3/10. checked

Operating history4.2/10

Counted from July 25, 2023, the earliest dated evidence of this business operating: 3.2 years as of October 22, 2026, which the published table maps to 4.2/10.

Store domain aminousa.com registered 2023-07-25 (RDAP); its first archived capture (2023-08-01) is already the Amino USA store and nothing parked, for sale or unrelated appears in between, so the domain date counts. The named operator Amino USA, LLC has a Texas SOS charter of 2023-11-27, which is later.

Audit history and why the rating changed

We re-audit vendors against their live COAs and site. Here is what most recently moved this rating, and why.

See the full score history and chart

  1. Most recent audit · 7.77to7.78

    Pricing re-checked on 5 November 2026 after the market medians were recalculated pricing 8.2 to 8.3.

  2. Audit · 7.80to7.77

    Market medians updated after Bluum Peptides was added pricing 8.4 to 8.2.

  3. Audit · 7.77to7.80

    Pricing recomputed on 27 October 2026: listings added for a newly reviewed vendor (Peptide Pro) moved the market median for the same products pricing 8.2 to 8.4.

Earlier audits (5)
  1. Audit · 7.78to7.77

    Pricing recomputed on 24 October 2026 after Bionova Peptides' first-review prices were recorded; other vendors move only through the market medians: pricing 8.3 to 8.2.

  2. Audit · 7.83to7.78

    Claim deductions re-checked on 22 October 2026 under the published rule (only site claims contradicted by what the certificates show), each confirmed independently from primary sources. Lab 8.1 to 8.0.

  3. Audit · 7.56to7.83

    Re-scored on 22 October 2026 under our published rubric for shipping, pricing, operating history and transparency, applied to every vendor the same day: prices re-read from the vendor's site and matched by milligrams per vial, operating history from the earliest dated evidence of the business, and policies scored item by item. shipping and refunds 7.0 to 8.0, pricing 8.0 to 8.3, operating history 4.0 to 4.2, transparency 6.0 to 6.5.

  4. Audit · 6.84to7.56

    Lab evidence re-checked on 20 October 2026 under our coverage rule, which counts a listed product with no published certificate as zero in the lab average. Certificates cover 19 of the 19 products we list that the vendor offers for sale. Lab 6.8 to 8.1.

  5. Audit · 6.83to6.84

    Re-audited 2026-10-18; the May 2026 score was a seed estimate, adjusted in September for blend certificates. Lab rises from 4.75 to 6.8: the three products that carried blend reports now have their own BioRegen certificates, nearly the whole catalog has reports from June to September 2026, and the Freedom Diagnostics reports we checked match the laboratory's copies; it stays below the top tier because the BioRegen reports could not be confirmed at the laboratory, endotoxin data covers older lots only, and there is no sterility testing. Shipping falls from 10 to 7.0: same-day UPS dispatch and card payment are confirmed, but parcels marked delivered are not covered and sale items cannot be refunded. Pricing moves from 9.5 to 8.0 on 32 live standard prices about 15% below the market median. Tenure moves from 5.9 to 4.0 on a domain registered in July 2023. Transparency moves from 10 to 6.0: the LLC, a Houston suite address and phone are published, but no people are named and no governing law is stated.

Editor’s notes

Amino USA tests nearly every product, and most of its newest certificates come from BioRegen, dated June to September 2026, with identity, purity and measured content for each lot and Amino USA named as the client. In October 2026 all 17 BioRegen reports we checked were confirmed through the laboratory's own report lookup, and 16 of the files are identical to the laboratory's copies. Its Freedom Diagnostics reports, which are older, do check out: the PT-141 and Semax files on the site are identical to the copies the laboratory hosts, and ten other Freedom reports from early 2026 were found there too. The separate endotoxin library covers 2025 lots only, and no sterility testing is published. Its TB-500 reports identify the short fragment rather than full-length thymosin beta-4. At our 22 October 2026 check, prices ran about 18% below the market median, lower on most products we compared. Orders before 12:30 PM Central ship the same day by UPS with tracking, cards are accepted, and unopened regular-priced items can be returned within 30 days, but parcels marked delivered are not covered. The operator, Amino USA LLC, lists a suite address in Austin, and the earliest archived copy of its store with prices dates from August 2023. As of October 2026, all 19 products we list have a current laboratory certificate that we confirmed on the laboratory's own verification page, though none of them includes an endotoxin or sterility test.
