Why a research pen is not a prescription pen

Two different supply categories

Vivora's catalogue sits in the research supply category. Its research-use policy describes every product as a laboratory research material, supplied for in vitro study and controlled R&D applications, and for nothing else. The same policy states that the products are not a medicine, food supplement, cosmetic or medical device.

Vivora's product pages give examples of the laboratory work the pens are sold for: stability, formulation and delivery-device studies. Prescribed products sit in a separate category with their own supply route. Vivora does not operate in it: the company does not sell medicines, does not take prescriptions and does not advise on human or animal use.

This guide sets out the distinction between the two categories for buyers and researchers. It contains no medical information. It does not describe preparation, dosing or administration.

Why they are not interchangeable

These differences come from the category itself, not from how a product looks:

• Purpose. Vivora's products are not for human or animal use in any form. The company never supplies them for injection or consumption.
• Information. A research listing records formulation, label strength, pens per box and batch-report status. It is supplied without dosing guidance or patient information.
• Buyers. Customers must be 18 or over, give their organisation and confirm research use. Vivora may ask for further information or decline an order that is unsuitable, and a checkbox does not replace that review.
• Format. A pre-filled pen format does not make a research material a medicine or a product for self-injection.
• Names. A compound name on a research listing can also appear in other contexts. A shared name does not make two products equivalent, and it does not make one a replacement for the other.

In short, a research pen and a prescribed pen can look alike and still belong to entirely different categories. Appearance and a shared compound name are not evidence of equivalence.

What Vivora supplies

Vivora supplies five lines of pre-filled research pens, each in its own sealed, batch-coded window box:

• Retatrutide 40mg pen: one pen per box.
• Tirzepatide 40mg pen: one pen per box.
• BPC-157 & TB-500 pen: 10mg of each compound in one blend pen.
• GLOW 70mg pen: a blend of BPC-157 10mg, TB-500 10mg and GHK-Cu 50mg, in two pens.
• NAD+ 1000mg pen: 1000mg per box as two 500mg pens. NAD+ is a coenzyme, not a peptide.

Each product page shows the label strength, pens per box, catalogue code and batch-report status, and states that the product is for laboratory research only and is not for human or animal consumption.

Online checkout accepts UK delivery addresses, and laboratories ordering 5 boxes or more can request wholesale supply. Batch reports are published per batch on the lab-reports page when available; a pending report is not a result.

What Vivora does not supply

Vivora does not sell medicines. It does not supply anything on prescription. It does not provide dosing, preparation or administration guidance, and it does not provide that guidance on request. It does not answer questions about personal use. It does not sell through social media.

Orders that indicate human or animal use are cancelled and refunded. The full terms are in the research-use policy.

If you were looking for a prescribed product

This catalogue is not the right place. Vivora is not a source of advice on any medicine, and questions about a prescribed product belong with the healthcare professional or pharmacy that supplied it.

Please do not place an order with Vivora as an alternative. Every order requires confirmation of research use, and an order that indicates human or animal use will be cancelled and refunded. Vivora's support team can answer questions about research orders, packaging and batch records, but not about personal use.

Checking a research listing

If you are buying for a laboratory, check the research listing in this order and keep a note of each item:

• The formulation, with every component and its stated amount.
• The label strength and the number of pens per box.
• The batch code printed on the box you receive.
• The report status, published or pending, with the date you checked it.
• The research-use terms you confirmed when ordering.

What a research pen listing contains explains each field in turn, and the current range shows every product's pack contents and report status.

Will Vivora answer questions about personal use?

No. Vivora does not provide dosing, preparation or administration guidance, and it does not answer questions about personal use.

Why must buyers confirm research use?

Vivora supplies research materials only. Buyers must be 18 or over and confirm research use before an order is accepted, and orders that indicate human or animal use are cancelled and refunded.
