What we check
A registry entry passes through a sequence of independent evidence checks before the mark next to it can read verified. The order below is the order an entry moves through the queue.
Licensing and registration
State pharmacy boards, federal compounding registries, import licenses, and corporate filings. We pull from the public record, normalize the entries, and link the source. A missing license is not a flag on its own; a misrepresented license is.
Laboratory partnership
We verify the issuing laboratory's ISO 17025 status directly with the lab, not through the supplier's website. A laboratory that confirms the partnership and the methods is enough to move the entry forward. A self-claimed partnership without confirmation stays at pending.
Certificate of analysis cross-referencing
For each supplier we sample a recent lot, request the issued COA, and compare its content hash to the document the supplier publishes on their site. Hashes that do not match become public record. Hashes that do match advance the entry.
Policy review
Refund language, ship-to disclosures, and stated chain-of-custody. We index the published text, so changes over time are visible in the audit trail. A policy that contradicts a vendor's actions becomes part of the supplier's incident history.
Customer evidence aggregation
Forum threads, marketplace reviews, and direct submissions through the registry are deduplicated, bot-filtered, and aggregated. We never amplify, never pay, never accept supplier payment for placement. Volume and pattern matter; individual reviews do not move status on their own.
Provenance and incidents
Registrar history, TLS certificate chain, and a 24-month rolling incident window. A new domain with a privacy proxy is a context flag, not a verdict. An open incident with unresolved claims keeps the entry at pending.
What the verified mark means
The verified mark is a record of evidence reviewed. It is not an endorsement. It is not a guarantee of any product, lot, or shipment. It says only: at the moment this mark was issued, the editorial team reviewed every check above and recorded the result.
What it does not mean
- We are not the FDA. We do not approve products.
- We are not a substitute for your physician, your pharmacist, or your jurisdiction's licensing authority.
- A flagged status is a record of unresolved discrepancies, not a legal accusation.
How to claim or dispute an entry
Suppliers register through the registration form on the marketing page or, once accounts are open, through the supplier console. A claim attaches a verified domain to an existing record without creating a duplicate. Disputes append to the public record; the audit trail remains on file.
