Swole AF Labs review: closed, and why that matters

The Swole AF Labs store is gone and its domain now forwards to an application-only site under a different name. There is nothing public to evaluate, and nothing shows the new site honors the old brand's orders.

What happened

Swole AF Labs no longer exists as a storefront. The domain swoleaflabs.com returns a permanent redirect to rcs-research.is, which presents itself as “RCS Research”, claims “Since 2018” and US-based support, shows a research-use disclaimer and a 21+ gate, and offers nothing but login and application forms. It does not mention Swole AF anywhere. Because the original site did not load and the redirect target shows no catalog, prices, certificates, address or phone, every testing, catalog, pricing and policy field in our record is unknown, and we record the vendor as closed.

What the record still shows

Third-party blogs say the brand was renamed SAF Research or SAF Peptides, and they disagree on whether it operated from the US or the UK. The domain safresearch.com does not resolve, and a publiclab.org post cited for the rename returned a 404 when we tried it. The products recorded for the vendor are SARMs, LGD-4033, RAD140 and Ibutamoren (MK-677), which tells you what kind of business this was: a SARMs seller with peptides, if any, on the side.

One documentary fact survives. The SWOLE AF LABS trademark was filed in 2020 by Swole Enterprises LTD, according to Justia, for dietary and nutritional supplements. That is a supplements classification for a business that sold SARMs and peptides, which is a mismatch worth knowing about, and it is the only piece of the company’s own paperwork we could find. Third-party summaries describe Reddit sentiment in r/sarmssourcetalk and r/Peptides as mixed on transparency. We found no FDA warning letter naming Swole AF Labs; a 2022 letter to Steel Supplements covered unrelated products with “-AF” in their names and should not be confused with this company.

Older SARMs-source threads still link to swoleaflabs.com, and that link now lands on an application form for a differently named company with no public prices, certificates, address or phone. The only contact on the redirect target is help@rcs-research.is, which belongs to RCS Research, not to Swole AF Labs. Nothing in the record shows that RCS Research honors Swole AF orders, policies or certificates, and nothing shows the two are even run by the same people.

Treat Swole AF Labs as closed, and treat the redirect target as a new and unverified supplier that has, so far, shown you nothing. If you are choosing a replacement, favor one that shows its catalog, its laboratory and its returns policy before asking you to apply, because a storefront that asks for your details first and reveals its terms later has reversed the order a careful buyer wants.

The bad

Third-party pages say the brand was renamed SAF Research or SAF Peptides and disagree on whether it was US- or UK-based; safresearch.com does not resolve.

Reader questions

Is Swole AF Labs still open?

Not under that name. swoleaflabs.com permanently redirects to rcs-research.is, a gated RCS Research site showing only login and application forms. Third-party blogs say the brand became SAF Research or SAF Peptides, but safresearch.com does not resolve.

Where was Swole AF Labs located?

Unknown. Third-party pages disagree on whether the business was US- or UK-based, the redirect target claims only US-based support, and the 2020 trademark filer is Swole Enterprises LTD. No address or phone could be recovered.

Did Swole AF Labs publish COAs?

We could not verify this. The original site did not load, the redirect target shows no certificates, and no archive was available, so every testing and pricing field is unknown.
