A purity percentage, a peptide amount and an identity result answer different questions. Read all three with their methods and units.
A purity percentage alone does not establish peptide mass, molecular identity or suitability for human use.

A percentage and a value in mg are not competing answers. Check what each result measures before comparing them.
A purity percentage alone cannot be converted into peptide mass or net peptide content.

Read the sample, lot, method, units and result. A test that is not reported is an unanswered question—not a failed result.
Reading a COA does not authenticate its issuer or establish suitability for human use.

Compare sample, lot, and report code. COA7920 prints RET-20260811-02, the 15mg fill (COA7918). The site's COA record cites the production lot register and vial label identifying the 30mg fill as RET-20260811-01.
The site's record resolves the lot mapping; the original PDF still needs correction. We did not verify a physical sample, custody history, or issuer response.

Residue ranges and terminal labels can distinguish peptide forms that share a familiar name. Preserve those details when following a source.
Similar names or similar measurements in one study do not establish identical molecular descriptions.

An analog is related to a reference molecule, not simply another name for it. Check which exact form the paper studied.
An analog relationship alone does not transfer every experimental finding between the two molecules.

A salt name and a measured counterion amount are different pieces of information. Check the stated form and reporting basis.
A salt name does not establish the measured counterion amount in a particular sample.

Terminal groups belong in a peptide's molecular description. Preserve acetyl, amide, and other documented terminal labels when following a source.
A structural distinction alone does not predict the size or direction of an experimental difference.

Read the exact molecule, model or participants, design, and measurements. A human study addresses the people and conditions actually studied.
The cited abstracts do not establish broad health claims, long-term safety, or suitability for human use.

Check the claim, not just the citation: same molecule, same study setting and same measured result?
A valid PMID does not prove the nearby claim; abstract-only checking leaves full-text details unresolved.
