Is Profound Aminos legit?
Profound Aminos scores 6.65 out of 10 (Fair, #45 of 100) as of October 25, 2026 and passes our testing gate: all 18 products we score carry a certificate, 17 confirmed with the issuing lab (labs we grade A to B+). Its strongest area is lab testing (7.9/10) and its weakest is transparency (3.0/10); its operating history on record covers over two years.
On lab evidence, the heaviest-weighted factor, Profound Aminos has independently verified third-party COAs, with COA work on record from Chromate, Freedom Diagnostics Testing, Janoshik Analytical, MZ Biolabs. 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 credibility7.9/10
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.

We compared Profound Aminos’s current single-vial prices on 18 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 3% below the market median (ratio 0.97), which the published scale maps to 7.2/10. checked
Operating history3.4/10
Counted from August 21, 2024, the earliest dated evidence of this business operating: 2.2 years as of October 22, 2026, which the published table maps to 3.4/10.
Domain profoundaminos.com registered 2024-08-21; its first capture the same day is the vendor's own GoDaddy-builder 'Launching Soon' page ('Copyright 2024 Profound Aminos'), a placeholder rather than parking, so the domain date counts. It was earlier treated as context only. The site names no operating company.

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
- Most recent audit · 6.66to6.65
Pricing recomputed on 25 October 2026: listings added for a newly reviewed vendor (Pexo Labs) moved the market median for the same products: pricing 7.3 to 7.2.
- Audit · 6.63to6.66
Prices and certificates re-read on 24 October 2026 in the owner's signed-in browser; other vendors move only through the market medians: pricing 7.1 to 7.3.
- Audit · 6.68to6.63
Pricing recomputed on 24 October 2026 after Bionova Peptides' first-review prices were recorded; other vendors move only through the market medians: pricing 7.4 to 7.1.
Earlier audits (8)
- Audit · 6.69to6.68
Pricing recomputed on 23 October 2026 from current listings with the published rule (section E), after listings added or updated since 22 October, including a newly reviewed vendor's, moved the market median for the same products: pricing 7.5 to 7.4.
- Audit · 6.68to6.69
Operating history re-checked on 22 October 2026 under the published rule (earliest dated evidence of the business, including a never-parked store domain and the named operating company, looked up for every vendor): operating history 3.1 to 3.4.
- Audit · 6.51to6.68
Re-scored on 22 October 2026 under version 2 of our published rules. The deduction for verification codes the laboratory could not find was retired: each such certificate now keeps its points for the printed key and earns none for confirmation, and codes on certificates we do not score no longer count. Lab 7.6 to 7.9. Score 6.51 to 6.68.
- Audit · 6.66to6.51
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 5.0 to 4.5, transparency 4.0 to 3.0.
- Audit · 6.77to6.66
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. pricing 8.1 to 7.5, operating history 3.5 to 3.1.
- Audit · 6.83to6.77
Lab score recalculated on 22 October 2026 under the uniform published rubric applied to every vendor: every listed product was rescored on the same fixed certificate points, with fixed deductions for certificates more than 12 months old, site statements about testing that the certificates do not bear out, verification codes the issuing laboratory could not find and one lot number printed on certificates for different compounds. Lab 7.7 to 7.6.
- Audit · 6.66to6.83
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 17 of the 17 products we list that the vendor offers for sale. Lab 7.4 to 7.7.
- Audit · 6.39to6.66
Re-audited 2026-10-18 from the live site, replacing the May 2026 seed score. Lab 6.54 to 7.4: the certificate library is public, current and drawn from several laboratories, and we confirmed 152 certificates at Freedom Diagnostics, TrustPointe, Chromate and Zyntro; it is held back by the absence of endotoxin testing, nine Freedom reports not found at the laboratory, cap-colour rather than batch traceability and three products resting on 2025 reports. Shipping 7.9 to 5.0: no returns, refunds only against an outside lab result, a ten-day wait on lost parcels and peer-to-peer payment without buyer protection. Pricing 5.9 to 8.1: the full catalogue is now publicly priced and runs about 16% below the market median. Tenure 3.3 to 3.5 for a domain a little over two years old. Transparency 3.3 to 4.0: a mailing address, phone line and public certificate library, against no legal entity, no named people and coded GLP-1 names.
Editor’s notes
Profound Aminos publishes one of the largest certificate libraries we have checked, about 225 entries sorted by product, size and cap colour, from six outside laboratories. We confirmed most current reports at the laboratory's own site: 46 of 55 Freedom Diagnostics reports, all 70 recent TrustPointe reports, all 32 Chromate reports and four Zyntro reports matched the laboratory's copy. Nine Freedom reports were not found there; by 22 October 2026 three of those had been removed from the library, and the six still listed, three of them for products we list, were again not found at the laboratory. Recent certificates cover identity, purity and measured content; a few Freedom reports add a microbial DNA screen, and the Chromate reports add endotoxin results, as described below. Purity is high, though one adipotide report shows 97.75% and one AOD-9604 vial measured about 13% under label. Melanotan II, melanotan I and SNAP-8 rely on April 2025 reports. Reports are matched to vials by cap colour rather than batch number. Orders ship UPS Ground with tracking. Returns are not accepted, refunds need an outside lab result, and lost parcels are handled after a ten-day wait. The payment notice asks buyers to send Zelle, Venmo and Cash App payments as personal transfers without purchase protection, and the policies say a chargeback on a fulfilled order leads to a ban. At our 24 October 2026 recomputation, standard prices ran about 4% below the market median across 18 products. GLP-1 products use coded names, and no company name is given beside a Minneapolis mailbox address at a UPS Store. As of October 2026, all 18 products we list have a laboratory certificate, and by 24 October 2026 we had confirmed 17 of them at the issuing laboratory; BPC-157 is listed from 24 October 2026, when the store sold it on its own, and its certificate shows 98.4% purity; most recent Chromate reports add sterility, endotoxin and heavy-metal results, while melanotan II and IGF-1 LR3 rely on reports from 2025.
