Forge Performance Co.
Texas newcomer, deep batch testing, short history
Verdict
A transparent, Texas-based newcomer with a genuinely strong batch-specific COA program from a named third-party lab, held back by a complete contaminant-testing gap and a track record under a year old. The documentation you can see is real and current. What it does not yet have is independent history or any testing beyond purity and identity.
Documented strengths
- Public per-batch COA archive from a named third-party lab (Freedom Diagnostics), 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 mass-spec identity run on every batch before sale, with batches held and not offered until the COA is posted
- 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 24 to 48 hour dispatch, tracking, discreet packaging, and free shipping over $200
- Openly welcomes anonymous independent testing of any currently shipping product
Considerations
- No contaminant testing of any kind. No endotoxin, no sterility, no heavy metals, no residual solvents. Testing is purity and identity only
- 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
- Single testing lab. All COAs come from Freedom Diagnostics, so there is no cross-lab corroboration
- Payment is peer-to-peer (Venmo, Zelle, CashApp) plus eCheck, with no card processing and therefore no chargeback protection
- 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 does the visible part of transparency unusually well for its age. The COA archive is current, batch-specific, and from a named lab, and the company is honest about what it is and is not. The two things to weigh are the complete absence of contaminant testing and the lack of any independent track record yet. Both are fixable with time and a wider testing scope, and the vendor says it is working toward both. For now, verify the specific batch you receive.
