Research Use Only (RUO)
Research Use Only (RUO) is a regulatory classification indicating that a product is intended exclusively for laboratory research purposes. RUO products are not approved by the FDA for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical use in humans or animals.
All Healthy Aminos peptides are sold as RUO chemical reference standards. This means they are manufactured and quality-tested to standards suitable for in vitro and in vivo research applications, but they have not undergone the regulatory approval process required for pharmaceutical products.
Purchasers of RUO products acknowledge that the materials will be used only for legitimate scientific research and not for human or animal consumption.
All Healthy Aminos products are for research use only.
