Amino Club Review: 120 Lab-Confirmed COAs, an Underfilled MOTS-C Lot and No Refunds

Last verified October 31, 2026. Amino Review does not run lab tests. Every finding below is labeled by its source, as described in How We Evaluate Vendors. Amino Club (aminoclub.com) is not the same business as Amino Science Labs or Aminos Research, and the look-alike domain aminopyclub.com is not Amino Club.

The short verdict

Evidence label: Laboratory-confirmed document. Grade: B (6/10). Amino Club runs one of the most complete certificate libraries we have reviewed: 124 entries covering all 51 products, with the newest test dated October 28, 2026. We confirmed 120 of the 124 at the issuing labs, and every copy we compared matches the lab’s own. Most current reports add endotoxin, sterility and heavy-metals results, and a registered New Jersey company is named in the terms.

Three things hold the grade down. One lab-confirmed report, still published, shows a MOTS-C vial at 89.5% of its label. The marketing claims “independent ISO 17025 accredited” testing that the labs’ own accreditation does not cover, and a “99%+ purity, no exceptions” guarantee that its own library contradicts. And there are no refunds, only a one-time replacement for transit damage. See our vendor comparison for how the grade is calculated.

What the COAs actually show

Where the reports come from

The certificate library is public, with no login, although product pages sit behind an age and “qualified researcher” gate that we did not pass. On October 31 the library listed 124 entries for 51 products: 59 current and 65 marked archived. 103 are from ILS Laboratories, 12 from Ethos Analytics (the nasal “Research Mist” products) and 9 from Freedom Diagnostics (February 2026).

We checked every report we could find against the lab that issued it. All 100 ILS reports resolve on ILS’s own portal, with matching report number, lot, client and dates; 87 of the vendor’s PDFs are byte-for-byte identical to the copy ILS hosts, 2 match it word for word, and 11 newer ones match the portal record field by field. All 9 Freedom and all 11 Ethos copies are identical to the lab-hosted files. That is 120 of 124 confirmed. The other four are the newest AHK-Cu entry (October 28, no file yet), two October retests, and one entry whose lab record we found but not the vendor’s file. That confirms the reports are real. It does not make them independent: Amino Club chose and sent the samples.

One detail looks odd but is not an edit. Twelve ILS PDFs print purity above 99.9%, while ILS’s portal now shows 99.90%. ILS began capping reported purity at 99.9% in October, and 11 of those 12 vendor files are identical to ILS’s own hosted copies, so the difference comes from the lab.

What is tested, and what is not

The ILS reports (May to October 2026) are the strongest part of the library:

• HPLC purity and measured content, with multi-vial “conformity” assays on 67 reports. Identity is by HPLC retention time, not mass spectrometry.
• Endotoxin (USP <85>), sterility by PCR and heavy metals by ICP-MS on all 100 ILS reports, and a fentanyl screen on 77. PCR sterility is a rapid screen, not the USP <71> sterility test.
• Solubility and closure integrity only on the 10 reports from October 22.

The nine February reports from Freedom Diagnostics give purity and measured content only, with identity by LC-MS. They are the only reports in the library with mass-spectrometry identity. The Ethos reports for the nasal mists give content, endotoxin and microbial results.

Accreditation

Amino Club says its batches are tested at “an independent ISO 17025 accredited laboratory” and puts an “ISO 17025” badge on library cards. ILS states on its own site and on these reports that peptide testing is not within any accreditation scope. Its only accreditation covers cannabis and hemp testing, and another review site reports it suspended from October 22, 2026. Ethos’s accreditation scope does not include peptide HPLC, and Freedom claims none. Almost no lab is accredited for peptide testing, so we do not score accreditation, but claiming accredited testing that doesn’t exist costs the vendor its honest-claims point.

Results worth reading closely

• MOTS-C 10 mg (lot M0022, Freedom, February 2026): 8.95 mg, or 89.5% of label, at 99.81% purity. The report is archived but still published, and it is identical to the lab’s copy. The current MOTS-C lots, tested by ILS in July, are on label.
• Measured content on the ILS reports runs 101–107% of label, including the components of the blends.
• Purity is 98.10% or higher everywhere, well above our 95% threshold. But several archived lots fall short of the advertised 99%: Tesamorelin lot TES0001 98.82% (one vial 98.54%), Epithalon lot EPI0001 98.97%, and individual vials of Semaglutide (98.10%), Cagrilintide (98.79%), VIP (98.95%) and AOD-9604 (98.96%).
• Overfills on the February reports: KPV 138%, ipamorelin 123% and CJC-1295 118% in a CJC/Ipamorelin blend, GHK-Cu 119%. We note these but do not penalize them.

Lot numbers

Current lots are product-coded (VIP0002, TRZ0003 and so on), and no lot appears on two different products. Two problems remain. The archived Glutathione 1500 mg report has no lot on the lab’s record (“N/A”), yet the library card labels it GLT0001. And in April 2026 a buyer on Reddit quoted an Amino Club email saying vials marked A1116 were covered by the A1115 report, because of “a small manufacturing change to the vial itself”. No A1116 report exists. Two Trustpilot reviewers also allege reports reused across lots. Those are anecdotes, but the safe habit is the same: match the lot on your vial to a report before relying on it.

Independent testing (Finnrick)

Finnrick, a testing site that accepts samples mailed in by the public, lists one Amino Club test: retatrutide, April 26, 2026. It failed Finnrick’s purity-focused standard, which requires at least 99.5% purity: purity was 99.4%, fill was 2% over label, and identity passed. Under our rubric that result would not count against the vendor, since it is above 95% purity and above the labeled amount. Finnrick’s lab report is behind a paid membership, and we did not buy one.

Business and policies

• Identity: the terms and privacy policy say the site is operated by Amino Club LLC, 241 Molnar Dr Suite 202, Elmwood Park, New Jersey. New Jersey’s business registry lists AMINO CLUB LLC (entity ID 0451400463), formed January 16, 2026, and the company holds a US trademark registration for the name (Supplemental Register, October 2026). It is a young business.
• Returns (vendor statement): “Replacements are offered as a courtesy for verified transit damage only. We do not offer refunds for change of mind, dissatisfaction, or any reason other than documented damage.” Damage must be reported with photos, and the remedy is “a one-time replacement”. Opened vials are excluded, and Research Panel subscriptions are non-refundable. The returns page also lists defective and incorrect items as eligible, which is broader than the terms’ “damaged in transit only”.
• Shipping and payment: processing in 0–2 business days, plain packaging, free shipment protection. Visa, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• Claims to read carefully: “independent ISO 17025 accredited” testing (see Accreditation); a “99%+ Purity Guarantee… No exceptions” although published reports show 98.10–98.97%; “10x tested: every batch runs a 10-assay panel”, although the February reports carry two results and only the October 22 set has all ten; and “independent” for testing the vendor orders. The FAQ’s “we never source from overseas manufacturers” cannot be checked, because no manufacturer is named on any report.

Reputation

We loaded Amino Club’s Trustpilot profile ourselves on October 31, 2026, and confirmed it belongs to aminoclub.com. It showed 4.7 stars from 666 reviews, 48 of them one-star (7.2%). The profile is claimed, with no paid features shown. Most reviews praise speed and packaging. The one-star reviews mostly describe shipping delays and unanswered support in April and May 2026, refused refunds, cloudy vials or particles, and retatrutide that reviewers say had no effect. Several say minors were able to order despite the age check, two allege lot or report mismatches, and one alleges a serious infection. Those are anecdotes, not test results.

Red flags at a glance

• A lab-confirmed MOTS-C report at 89.5% of label, still published.
• “Independent ISO 17025 accredited” testing claimed, while the labs’ accreditation does not cover peptide testing.
• A “99%+ purity, no exceptions” guarantee contradicted by its own reports (as low as 98.10%), and “10x tested every batch” that applies only to the newest reports.
• No refunds, only a one-time replacement for documented transit damage.
• A Glutathione card showing a lot the lab record doesn’t carry, and a reported lot mismatch between vials and reports.
• A young business (LLC formed January 2026), with reviews raising age-check concerns.

What it does well

• 120 of 124 published reports confirmed at the issuing labs, with every copy we compared matching the lab’s own.
• A current, complete library: newest result October 28, 2026, 23 test dates, all 51 products covered, and archived lots kept public.
• Endotoxin, PCR sterility and ICP-MS heavy metals on every ILS report, and an access code on each report that opens the lab’s record.
• A registered New Jersey LLC named in the terms, with a trademark registration.
• Trustpilot 4.7 from 666 reviews, with 7.2% one-star.

Who it is for

Amino Club suits buyers who want to check paperwork: almost every report opens on the lab’s own portal, and the library is unusually current. It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs a refund if they change their mind, or who takes the accreditation and “99%+” claims at face value. Check the lot on your vial against a report, read the measured amount as well as the purity, and keep the photos you would need for a damage claim.

Is Amino Club legit?

On the evidence we could check, Amino Club’s certificate library is genuine and unusually complete: 124 entries cover all 51 products, and we confirmed 120 of them at the issuing labs, with every copy we compared matching the lab’s own. Most current reports add endotoxin, sterility and heavy-metals results, and the terms name a registered New Jersey company. The main concerns: a still-published MOTS-C report shows a vial at 89.5% of label; its “independent ISO 17025 accredited” and “99%+ purity, no exceptions” claims are not supported by the labs’ accreditation or its own reports; there are no refunds, only a one-time replacement for transit damage; and the LLC was formed in January 2026. Grade: B (6/10). Products are sold for research use only.

Are Amino Club’s COAs real?

Yes, for 120 of 124. Every copy we compared matches the issuing lab’s own record. Two lot problems remain: an archived Glutathione card shows a lot the lab record does not carry, and a buyer reported vials whose lot has no report. Real is not the same as independent: Amino Club chose and sent the samples.

What do Reddit users say about Amino Club?

The Reddit report we cite is an April 2026 thread in r/AminoClub. A buyer received vials marked A1116 and quoted an Amino Club email saying the A1115 report covered them because of “a small manufacturing change to the vial itself”. No A1116 report exists. That is one anecdote, not a test result, so match the lot on your vial to a report before relying on it.
