 "scrutiny": "Essentialpeptides advertises 'HPLC Analysis High-Performance Liquid Chromatography verifies peptide purity to ≥99%'. What supports 'HPLC testing' is a manufacturer's quality sheet, which speaks to the factory's sample rather than this seller's vial. A factory QC document reused as a certificate proves the factory's sample, not this seller's vial.",
