Built by a Firefighter and His Son. Run Like a Family.
RealAminos was founded by Colton and Brian Vayda — a father-and-son team based in Surprise, Arizona. Brian is a career firefighter, and together they started RealAminos to bring the same standards he holds himself to on the job — discipline, accountability, and zero shortcuts — to the research peptide industry.

Our Story
RealAminos started with a simple frustration: an industry full of research peptide sellers, but very few you could actually trust. As a career firefighter, Brian is used to operating under strict protocols where attention to detail isn't optional — it protects people. He and Colton saw an opportunity to bring that same mindset to research compounds: rigorous third-party testing, straightforward policies, and a company that actually answers when you reach out.
We're still early — RealAminos is a small, family-run operation based out of Surprise, Arizona — but we're building for the long run. That means real lab testing on every batch, honest answers about what Research Use Only actually means, and eventually, physical locations here in Arizona where researchers can walk in, sign a waiver, and walk out with what they came for.
