Research Use Only (RUO)
Also known as: RUO · for research purposes only · not for human consumption
A designation that a compound is supplied strictly for laboratory research and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
Research Use Only (RUO) means a product is supplied strictly for laboratory research and analytical work — not for diagnostic, therapeutic, human or veterinary use, and not for consumption.
It is the compliance framework under which research peptides are sold. Every compound listed by Living Water Labs carries this designation: the descriptions, mechanisms and study references throughout the site describe research findings, not instructions for use.
Buyers are responsible for handling research materials lawfully and appropriately.
