If you ordered from Forto Labs, you may have noticed: the shop is gone.
What happened
On October 8, Forto replaced its whole website with a short closing notice. In plain English it says:
- Forto decided on its own to stop operating and stop selling.
- It keeps the Forto name and brand.
- Anyone claiming to be Forto, its "successor", or selling Forto products has nothing to do with the company.
- Questions go to [email protected]
That's it. No reason, and nothing about open orders or refunds.
One thing stood out to us: the wording is almost word for word what Peptide Sciences posted when it closed in March. Forto is the latest in a long line this year: Science.bio in January, Peptide Sciences in March, Strate Labs in July, Eternal Peptides and Chameleon Peptides in September. Reporting on those closures points to FDA pressure, drug-maker lawsuits over GLP-1s and payment processors pulling out. Forto hasn't said what, if anything, applied to them.
Where to look instead
Forto's pitch was US shipping and third-party testing. So the closest swap is a shop that ships to the US and has a real lab record. These are the top five on our ranking right now (1 Nov 2026), and all of them ship to the US:
- Rivn Research Peptides: 98/100 · 24 lab tests · 29 reviews · last test Apr 5
- Humatide Peptides: 98/100 · 44 lab tests · 26 reviews · last test Oct 1
- Peptide Partners: 96/100 · 98 lab tests · 33 reviews · last test Aug 21
- Core Peptides: 96/100 · 87 lab tests · 47 reviews · last test Jul 22
- Peptuvia: 95/100 · 22 lab tests · 20 reviews · last test Aug 25
Two tips for reading that list:
- Look at the last test date, not just the score. A recent test tells you more about what's shipping today.
- Make sure the shop has tests for the compound you buy. Click through to the shop page; it's all there.
Scores change every time a test or review lands, so this list will drift. Here's the live version: peptide shops that ship to the US. No shop can pay to be on it or to move up it, and none of these links carry an affiliate code.
One honest note: a strong record today doesn't promise a shop will still be here next year, and 2026 has made that pretty clear. Start with a small order, and check the lot number on your vial in the COA lookup.
