Forge Performance Co.
Texas newcomer, expanded batch testing, short history
Verdict
A transparent, Texas-based newcomer with a public, batch-specific COA archive and a testing program that has expanded beyond purity and identity. Current batches from Freedom Diagnostics and ILS Laboratories document HPLC and identity testing, with endotoxin and sterility on a substantial subset and heavy-metals results on select ILS batches. Coverage is not yet catalog-wide, and the business still lacks an independent testing track record, so the program earns an 8 rather than a full-panel score.
Documented strengths
- Public per-batch COA archive from named third-party labs (primarily Freedom Diagnostics, with ILS Laboratories on select batches), organized by product and test date, with lot and cap-color matching so a buyer can tie a vial to its certificate
- Genuine sequential retesting on flagship products. BPC-157, MOTS-c, and Tesamorelin each show three dated batches, and several SKUs carry fresh batches from within the last few weeks
- HPLC purity and identity testing are documented across the peptide catalog, with endotoxin and sterility results posted for multiple current batches and heavy-metals results on select ILS-tested batches
- Real legal entity in Texas with a verifiable street address and working phone, founder-direct customer service, and an explicit refusal to use "USA-made" or "domestic synthesis" language
- In-house Texas fulfillment with most orders stated to ship within 24 hours on business days, tracking, discreet packaging, and free standard shipping over $200
- Openly welcomes anonymous independent testing of any currently shipping product
Considerations
- Advanced contaminant testing is not catalog-wide. Several current products still show HPLC and mass-spec identity only, heavy-metals testing appears on select ILS batches, and no residual-solvent testing was identified
- Under one year operating (launched August 2025) with no independent testing footprint outside its own COA archive. Not yet represented in Finnrick, Janoshik, or PeptideScore
- Thin third-party review history. 16 Trustpilot reviews at 4.5 stars
- Payment is peer-to-peer (Venmo, Zelle, CashApp) plus eCheck, with no card processing and therefore no chargeback protection
- Portal claims of weekend fulfillment and support responses under four hours are not supported by the published policies, which say weekend orders are processed the next business day and quote response windows of 24 hours to 1–2 business days
- All sales final. The only exception is fulfillment errors or damage reported with photos within 48 hours of delivery, resolved by replacement or store credit at the vendor’s discretion
- Founder operates anonymously. Identity is disclosed only privately on request

Summary
Forge's public documentation has improved materially: the archive is current and batch-specific, now spans two named labs, and shows real endotoxin and sterility coverage on multiple current products plus heavy-metals results on select ILS batches. The remaining gaps are uneven advanced-test coverage across the catalog, a short operating history, and no independent testing footprint. The portal submission also overstates weekend fulfillment and support speed relative to the live policies. Verify the exact batch and its listed test panel before ordering.
