What "Research Use Only" Means

All products sold by Arcova Labs LLC are designated Research Use Only (RUO).

They are not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or any other clinical use in humans or animals.

Not a Drug, Food, or Supplement

Arcova Labs products have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other regulatory body for safety or efficacy in humans or animals. These products are not drugs, dietary supplements, food products, or cosmetics. They must not be used for human or veterinary consumption under any circumstances.

Not a Compounding Pharmacy

Arcova Labs LLC is not a licensed compounding pharmacy and does not operate under 503A or 503B compounding regulations.

Regulatory Landscape
