Science.bio announced permanent closure on January 27, 2026, and, per The Peptide Catalog's roundup of the 2025-2026 vendor closures, committed to fulfilling all outstanding orders or providing full refunds. The site's title now reads "Permanently Closed," and its current notice warns that anyone claiming to be Science.bio or a successor to it is unauthorized and unaffiliated. For the longevity and nootropics research community that leaned on the brand, that closure removed a familiar source overnight.
Is Science.bio closed?
Yes, permanently. Science.bio announced its closure on January 27, 2026, per industry coverage of the closure, and the site today states it "has made the decision to permanently close and discontinue the sale of research products." The storefront is no longer operating.
The current notice also carries an impersonator warning: any website or individual claiming to be Science.bio, or a successor to it, is unauthorized and unaffiliated. If a storefront appears under a similar name claiming continuity, the company's own published statement says it is not them.
Can I get a refund from Science.bio?
Per The Peptide Catalog's roundup of the closure, Science.bio committed to fulfilling all outstanding orders or providing full refunds before shutting down, handling that the roundup describes as notably better than other closures in the same period. The notice currently on science.bio no longer carries that language, so the dated secondary coverage is the citable record of the commitment.
Facts only, no legal advice: standard card-network dispute processes also exist independently of any vendor, with eligibility windows and timelines set by the card issuer rather than the merchant.
Was this the first Science.bio shutdown?
Some community accounts describe a previous closure and relaunch, though the cited roundup covers only the 2026 closure. The current site does not reference that history, so we treat it as reported background rather than a sourced timeline event.
If those accounts are right, that history matters for one practical reason: researchers who requalified the relaunched brand after the first wind-down had to do the whole exercise again in 2026. A supply chain built on a single vendor absorbs that disruption twice.
What does the closure mean for stranded researchers?
The vendor landscape shifted hard between mid-2025 and mid-2026; multiple major storefronts closed within a year. For researchers who sourced longevity- and nootropics-adjacent research compounds from Science.bio, the closure creates the standard requalification problem: a new source has to be identified, its documentation reviewed, and batch-level analytical data compared before ongoing work can continue on a sound footing.
Two habits reduce the pain of any vendor exit:
Keep independent copies of your documentation. Certificates of analysis, batch numbers, and order records held outside any vendor's account system survive that vendor's disappearance. Science.bio's notice period reportedly allowed orderly wind-down; other closures in the same window offered none.
Qualify more than one source. A single-vendor supply chain turns any closure, orderly or not, into a stalled research program.
Where do researchers go from here?
Ever Vital is a US-based supplier of research-grade compounds with third-party Certificates of Analysis, HPLC purity verification, and mass spectrometry identity confirmation documented per batch. The catalog covers the categories Science.bio's audience worked in most, including longevity-focused research compounds such as Epitalon, NAD+, MOTS-c, SS-31, and Glutathione, alongside healing, metabolic, and cognitive research categories.
