What to check when buying anabolic compounds

Five things worth confirming before an order, and what each one changes about what arrives.

Reference only. This page covers what the compound is, how it is presented and how it is handled. It does not give dosing protocols or administration schedules, and it is not medical advice.
CheckWhy it matters
Batch documentationA certificate of analysis should name the batch, the method and the date. For anabolic compounds the certificate is the only thing that ties a stated purity to the vial in front of you, so a certificate with no batch number is not evidence about your item.
Stated strengthCompare on cost per milligram rather than cost per unit. Where a listing states no strength, no cost per milligram can honestly be calculated for it.
Storage on arrivalStorage conditions are stated on the batch documentation. Anything supplied refrigerated should arrive cold.
Where it ships fromStock held in the UK clears no customs and carries no import step. For anabolic compounds that is the single largest difference in how quickly an order arrives.

Presentation is the common trap

Anabolic compounds split cleanly into two by how they are taken. Orals are tablets and are usually 17-alpha-alkylated so they survive first-pass metabolism. Injectables are the compound in a carrier oil, where the ester attached sets the release profile.
