Amino Asylum Shut Down: What Happened in the June 2025 FDA Raid

Last updated: May 2026. Pure Chain Aminos (PCA) is a US-based, COA-backed research peptide vendor. This page summarizes publicly reported information about Amino Asylum and provides a continuity option for displaced research customers.

The short version

Amino Asylum was raided by the FDA on or around June 18, 2025. The site has been offline since the enforcement action and no successor brand has launched in its place. Customers who were mid-order, holding store credit, or relying on Amino Asylum as their primary research supplier are without recourse from the brand itself.

If you are a former Amino Asylum customer looking to re-source the same compounds, Pure Chain Aminos ships from the United States, publishes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) per lot, and is offering 20% off your first order over $75 with code WELCOME20.

What we know about the raid

According to multiple industry sources, on or about June 18, 2025 the FDA executed a warehouse-level enforcement action against Amino Asylum’s fulfillment operation. Coverage from Muscle & Brawn (muscleandbrawn.com), PSPeptides, PeptideExaminer, and threads on the Evolutionary.org forum all confirm the same broad facts: the site went dark, customer support stopped responding, and no shipments left the warehouse after the raid date.

As of this writing, Amino Asylum’s storefront remains offline. There has been no public statement from the company addressing customers, no refund process announced, and no migration path to a sister brand.

What this means if you were a customer

• Open orders. Customers with orders placed before the raid date have generally not received fulfillment. If you paid via credit card, your card issuer’s chargeback window may apply (typically 60-120 days from the transaction date).
• Store credit / loyalty balances. There is no public mechanism to recover store credit or loyalty points. Treat these as unrecoverable.
• Subscriptions / autoship. Verify that any recurring billing arrangement has been cancelled on your card statement.
• COA history. If you relied on Amino Asylum’s COA library for prior lots in a long-running protocol, those documents may no longer be accessible. Save any COA PDFs you previously downloaded.

Why customers are migrating to Pure Chain Aminos

PCA was built around the same baseline expectations former Amino Asylum customers describe — clean lyophilized powder, third-party tested per lot, US-based fulfillment, and clear product pages with mass-spec data on file. Specifically:

• COA per lot. Every product page links to its lab analysis. No batch ships without one.
• US fulfillment. Orders ship from a domestic facility — no international customs delays.
• Stable supply. PCA holds inventory for top SKUs rather than running drop-ship. The catalog you see is the catalog in the warehouse.
• No prescription drugs. PCA only sells research peptides for laboratory use. There is no compounded GLP-1 program or any other product class that has historically attracted FDA enforcement against research vendors.

Top SKUs former Amino Asylum customers reorder first

• BPC-157 10mg — $59.99
• BPC-157 15mg — $89.99
• TB-500 10mg — $79.99
• GLP3-R 10mg — $149.99
• MOTS-C 40mg — $139.99
• NAD+ 500mg — $79.99
• Ipamorelin 5mg — $49.99

Research resources

If you want to read up on a compound before reordering, the PCA research library covers the most-requested ones: BPC-157, TB-500, GLP-3 Receptor, NAD+, MOTS-C, plus a bacteriostatic water reconstitution guide.

How to switch over

1. Pull your last 6 months of Amino Asylum order history from your email — search “Amino Asylum order” — and list the SKUs you actually reorder.
2. Match each one to the equivalent PCA SKU above (or browse the full catalog).
3. Apply WELCOME20 at checkout for 20% off any order $75+.
4. Save the COA PDF from each product page for your own records.

Frequently asked questions

Is Amino Asylum coming back?

There is no public reporting of a restart plan, no successor brand under different ownership, and no statement from the company. As of this writing the site has been offline for nearly a year. Treat the brand as closed for planning purposes.

Can I still get a refund?

There is no public refund process. Your fastest path is a chargeback through your card issuer if you are still inside their dispute window (commonly 60 to 120 days from the original transaction date). Bring your order confirmation email and any tracking number that never updated.

What about my COA history?

The Amino Asylum COA archive is not currently accessible. If you have downloaded copies in your email or local files, hold onto them. For new lots going forward, PCA publishes the COA on each product page at the time of stock arrival.

Is Pure Chain Aminos affiliated with Amino Asylum?

No. PCA is an independent US-based research peptide vendor. We are not a successor brand, we are not under common ownership, and we have no operational relationship to Amino Asylum.

How does WELCOME20 work?

Apply WELCOME20 at checkout. It takes 20% off orders with a $75 or larger subtotal. It is intended as a first-order discount for new customers; one redemption per customer.

How PCA documents each lot

Each lot of each SKU goes through third-party HPLC purity testing and mass-spec verification before it is released to fulfillment. The resulting COA PDF is published on the corresponding product page. When a new lot arrives, the product page COA link updates. Older lot COAs remain accessible by request to customer support so long-running protocols can document chain of custody across batches.
