Molon Labs review
Low prices and a published retatrutide lab report, but the report cannot be verified, and the "COA preview" boxes on product pages show lot results that no published document supports.

Key findings
- Janoshik report #91988 (5 Dec 2025): 30.84 mg in a 30 mg vial, 99.788% purity. The verification key field is empty, the client is blank and the batch reads "Unknown".
- Product pages show "COA preview" boxes for lots ML-150-O50, ML-151-P51 and ML-152-Q52. Their purity values rise by exactly 0.01% per lot (99.40, 99.41, 99.42%). These lots do not appear in the site's lot index, and the promised /lot/ pages return 404.
- Retatrutide is sold under the name "GLP-3". Product pages give a starter dose plan, a syringe-unit converter and side-effect guidance.
- The only company details ("Molon Labs (Pty) Ltd", Cape Town) are in the page's hidden structured data. The legal pages are marked "Draft".
- Payment by EFT or cryptocurrency only. Prices are marked "INCL. VAT" while the terms say the business is not VAT-registered.
