I initially though what Finnrick is doing is a great way to bring transparency to the industry, however, once I became a customer of theirs I was thoroughly dissappointed.
If you send samples in for testing from vendors who pay to be part of their platform that vendor can contest results when they come back low. This happened to my sample and a week later I was issued a "corrected" report which changed purity and mass. In the corrected report there was no reference or link to the original report. This is SO bad on so many levels. If you test, get one result, then go over the result and find an error, the proper, scientific way to re-issue a report is to have all of that information there - not to hide the old information.
The vendor I used had multiple samples that tested poorly and had corrections reissued. You can track other corrections on Finnrick's site. I find it ODD that one vendor can have different products all testing poorly then get the same corrections, which brings me to my next point....
There are many reports that the lab they use, specifically Krause Analytical is very inconsistent compared to other labs. So with the way FR is set up it comes to two potential problems:
1. Vendors who pay to be part of their platform have the ability to get their results changed, this is a good thing if the results are literally wrong but, if they are literally wrong... why are they using that lab?
2. If the lab is THAT inconsistent, then the results on FR should not be trusted, because my assumption is that only pay-for vendors can request corrections. Which means every other vendor who has been tested there who isn't paying doesn't have the opportunity to correct faulty testing reports.
Lastly, before my correction was issued I paid for an additional test, once it was clear I could not trust this company I no longer wanted to test with them.
FR refused to refund my payment claiming it was "over 48 hours" and went against their "policy" to refund. There is NO policy (at least not at the time of this incident) anywhere on their website. And I LOOKED. Later they stated they would refund me but never did. So now I have to go fight the charge.
Seriously - do not waste your money with these absolute scammers.

Finnrick is an independent testing and ratings platform for peptides, supplements, and other health and wellness compounds.
We exist because the sovereign health market has a serious trust problem: too many vendors make claims they can't back up, and too many people are taking risks they don't fully understand.
Our approach is simple. We test products, either from samples submitted by the public or from our own direct vendor purchases, and we publish the results.
No vendor can pay to influence a rating. No supplier-provided test data gets posted as if it were ours. What you see on Finnrick reflects independent laboratory analysis, full stop.
The public can purchase additional services such as endotoxin, heavy metals, or solvents contamination testing, and choose the lab used to perform the test. For a fee, we also offer testing for a growing number of other compounds.
We use HPLC-based testing through commercial partner labs, and our publicly available database covers results across 170+ vendors. We also offer free testing for a defined list of compounds to any US resident willing to send us a sample. If you've ever wondered whether what's in the vial matches what's on the label, that's exactly the question we're built to answer.
We expect reviews on this page come from members of the public who've submitted samples. We welcome honest feedback: it's the same currency we trade in.See more
