Peptera review
No dosing content and clear delivery terms, but retatrutide is sold under a code name, the mg amount appears only in product images, and several policies contradict each other.

Key findings
- Retatrutide is sold as "GLP-3 (RTA)". The 30 mg amount appears only on the product image, not in the page text.
- The Lab Results page says "coming soon", while product pages say the full analysis is published. No lab is named.
- Policies conflict: returns (14 days in the terms, 48 hours for wrong or defective items on the returns page), age limit (21+ vs 18+), storage (−20°C vs 2–6°C) and payment (manual EFT vs cards).
- The FAQ says products are supplied "in compliance with applicable South African regulations".
- Delivery by The Courier Guy: R150 standard or R220 express, free over R3,000. No legal entity; address given as Cape Town only.
