Research Use Only (RUO) Policy

Last Updated: March 17, 2026

This Research Use Only Policy (“RUO Policy”) is an integral part of the Terms & Conditions governing your use of the ELXR Peptides website and any products purchased through it. By accessing our Site or placing an order, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this policy in full.

What “Research Use Only” Means

All products sold by ELXR Peptides are classified as Research Use Only (RUO). This designation means that our products are intended exclusively for controlled, in-vitro laboratory research conducted by qualified scientific professionals. “In-vitro” refers to studies performed outside of a living organism — in test tubes, culture dishes, or other controlled laboratory environments.

RUO products have not undergone the clinical testing, safety evaluations, or regulatory review required for use in humans or animals. They are not approved, cleared, or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory body for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical purposes.

Intended Use

ELXR Peptides products are sold solely for the following purposes:

  • In-vitro scientific and biochemical research
  • Academic and institutional laboratory studies
  • Analytical chemistry and assay development
  • Non-clinical research and development activities
  • Educational and demonstration use within certified laboratory settings

Prohibited Uses

The following uses of ELXR Peptides products are strictly prohibited:

  • Human consumption, ingestion, injection, inhalation, or topical application of any kind
  • Veterinary use or administration to animals
  • Incorporation into food, beverages, dietary supplements, or nutraceuticals
  • Use in compounding, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or drug formulation
  • Diagnostic testing or clinical laboratory use on human specimens
  • Any therapeutic, preventative, or medical application
  • Resale or redistribution for any prohibited end use
  • Use outside of a properly equipped laboratory environment

Violation of these prohibitions is the sole legal and financial responsibility of the purchaser.

ELXR Peptides makes no claims — express or implied — that any product is safe or effective for use in humans or animals, or that any product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
