Research Use Only
This is the one line we never cross, and it covers every shelf — the vitamins and supplements exactly as much as the compounds. Read it before you order.
What RUO means here
Every product sold by Seratide — vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanical extracts, longevity compounds, lyophilised research peptides and lab supplies alike — is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and development use only. Our products are not drugs, foods, cosmetics, dietary supplements, or medical devices.
These are not dietary supplements
A capsule, tablet, softgel, powder or liquid listed on this site is a research material. It is not a dietary supplement for human consumption, it is not manufactured, labelled or sold as one, and it must not be used as one. Familiar names such as vitamin D3, magnesium, creatine or ashwagandha appear here as research materials only. Nothing on this site is offered for personal nutritional use.
Not for human or animal use
Nothing sold here is intended for human or veterinary consumption, ingestion, injection, or application, and nothing here is intended for any diagnostic, clinical, or curative purpose. Do not use these materials on yourself, another person, or an animal.
No health, medical, or structure/function claims
Product descriptions on this site state what a material is studied for in the published scientific literature, in mechanistic terms. They are not structure/function claims, not claims about human wellbeing, and not claims of safety or efficacy. No statement on this site has been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Nothing here is medical or nutritional advice.
What the lot report is, and is not
Each lot page documents laboratory analysis of that lot — identity, potency against label claim, and contaminant limits for non-lyophilised materials; purity, identity and endotoxin for lyophilised compounds. A lot report is an analytical record. It is not a certification of fitness for any use, and it is not a licence to use the material outside a laboratory.
Who may purchase
By purchasing, you certify that you are at least 21 years of age and are a qualified researcher (or purchasing on behalf of a research institution), and that you will handle, store, and dispose of these materials in accordance with all applicable laws and good laboratory practice.
Your responsibility
You are solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local laws governing the purchase, possession, and use of research materials in your jurisdiction, including any import requirements.
