Research Supply (Not a clinic) — Type H
Research-compound supply operations are NOT clinics. They sell research-use materials, often online and often from outside Australia. Including here for completeness — none of these route is appropriate for human use.

Editorial review
Research-compound suppliers explicitly are not clinics. They have no prescriber, no medical oversight, and no aftercare. We include this category in the comparison only to make the boundary unambiguous: research-use supply is not a treatment pathway.
Within research supply itself, transparency varies enormously — see our supplier transparency reviews for evaluation criteria.
If a website mixes 'research-only' framing with marketing aimed at human-use outcomes (weight loss, muscle gain, anti-ageing), it's operating outside both the research-supply and the clinical-prescribing boundaries. That's the highest-risk position from a regulatory and personal-safety standpoint.
Compounds typically prescribed
- Research compounds — not for human use
- Laboratory reagent supply
