Research Use Only Policy

Last updated August 2026

Research Use Only. All products are supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and are not for human or animal consumption, diagnostic use, or therapeutic use.

Statement of intended use

Every product supplied by Ridgeline Compounds is a chemical reference material intended exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research, analytical method development, and other bona fide scientific purposes conducted by qualified professionals in appropriately equipped facilities.

No Ridgeline Compounds product is a drug, food, dietary supplement, cosmetic, or medical device as those terms are defined in the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. No product is manufactured, labeled, offered, or sold for human or animal consumption, administration, or application of any kind, and no product is offered for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative use.

No medical claims or usage guidance

Ridgeline Compounds makes no claims regarding the safety, efficacy, or biological effect of any product in humans or animals. We do not publish, provide, or discuss dosage information, administration routes, cycling protocols, or anticipated physiological outcomes — on this site, by email, or through customer support. Requests for such information will be declined and may result in order cancellation.

Purchaser qualification

Purchases are limited to individuals 21 years of age or older who are qualified researchers, or who are authorized to purchase on behalf of a research institution, commercial laboratory, or contract research organization. By ordering, the purchaser certifies these facts and accepts sole responsibility for the safe, lawful handling, storage, use, and disposal of all materials.

We reserve the right to request supporting documentation — such as institutional affiliation, laboratory address verification, or a statement of intended research use — before accepting or fulfilling any order, and to decline any order at our discretion.

Anti-diversion controls

We monitor orders for indicators of intended misuse, including residential-scale repeat ordering patterns, requests for consumption or dosage guidance, and shipping destinations inconsistent with laboratory use. Orders that present these indicators may be delayed pending verification, cancelled, and refunded. Customers who seek to divert products to human or animal use are permanently refused service.

Product integrity and documentation

Compounds are supplied as lyophilized preparations in sealed vials with lot-specific labeling. Each lot is accompanied by a certificate of analysis reflecting identity and purity testing. Labels prominently state “Research Use Only — Not for Human Consumption” and are not presented in the trade dress of a dietary supplement or pharmaceutical product.

Export control and jurisdiction

Products are offered for sale within the United States. Any international sale is subject to prior review under applicable U.S. export laws and the import requirements of the destination country, and we decline orders to jurisdictions where the sale or import of a product is prohibited or where we cannot reasonably verify the purchaser or intended use.

Reporting misuse

If you believe a Ridgeline Compounds product is being marketed or used contrary to this policy, contact us at compliance@ridgelinecompounds.com. Reports are reviewed promptly and acted on, including refusal of service and notification of authorities where appropriate.
