The product page is the first thing an underwriter, a bank reviewer or a scanner reads. It decides whether a store looks like a laboratory supplier or a consumer brand. Most declined applications we see were sunk by product pages, not by the business behind them.
This checklist is what we ask every store to get right before processing turns on. None of it is legal advice; it is the practical standard the category is held to.
Say it on every product page
- A research-use-only notice near the price and again in the description, not only in the footer.
- Plain wording that the product is not for human or veterinary use.
- Who the product is for: qualified researchers, laboratories and institutions.
- The facts a laboratory needs: quantity, purity, the analytical method, storage conditions and a certificate of analysis.
Leave out
- Dosing, administration routes, cycles, stacks or protocols in any form, including quotes from customers.
- Health, therapeutic, recovery, performance, anti-ageing or weight-loss claims, however softly worded.
- Before-and-after framing, comparisons to prescription drugs, or language addressed to a patient or user.
- Consumer framing: lifestyle imagery, supplement-style benefit lists, or categories named after goals rather than compounds.
Keep the rest of the store consistent
Reviewers read the whole site. A clean product page is undone by a blog post with a dosing guide, an FAQ that answers how to inject, or a review that describes personal use. Treat category pages, blog posts, FAQs, social links and theme footers as part of the product page.
Our scanner reads all of it every 15 minutes and turns each problem into a finding with the page and the sentence it came from, so fixing it is a short list rather than a guessing game.
