What happened to the storefront
The Swole AF Labs storefront no longer exists. A request to swoleaflabs.com receives a permanent 301 redirect to rcs-research.is, a site branded “RCS Research” that displays only login and application forms, a US-based-support claim, a “Since 2018” line, a research-use-only disclaimer, a 21+ gate and a help@ email. It does not mention Swole AF Labs anywhere. The disclaimer and age gate in our record belong to that redirect target, not to the original vendor, and the help@ address is RCS Research’s, not Swole AF’s.
Because no original page loads, every testing, catalog, pricing and policy field for Swole AF Labs is unknown. Third-party descriptions place the former catalog in SARMs territory, with LGD-4033, RAD140 and Ibutamoren (MK-677) among the listings, so readers who remember it as a peptide supplier are remembering a secondary line. Third-party blogs also say the brand became SAF Research or SAF Peptides, and they disagree on whether the business was US- or UK-based; safresearch.com does not resolve, and a publiclab.org post cited for the rename returned 404. The headquarters is recorded as unknown.
What the public record contains
A trademark for SWOLE AF LABS was filed in 2020 by Swole Enterprises LTD under a dietary and nutritional supplements classification, an odd fit for a SARMs and peptides seller and the only formal corporate trace we found. Reddit discussion on r/sarmssourcetalk and r/Peptides is summarized by third parties as mixed on transparency. We found no FDA warning letter naming Swole AF Labs; a 2022 letter to Steel Supplements covered unrelated “-AF” product names and should not be confused with this company. No Trustpilot profile is recorded.
What readers should know
Old links and affiliate pages for Swole AF Labs now deposit visitors on an application-only site under a different name, with no public evidence of testing, pricing or company identity. The redirect alone does not establish that RCS Research is the same business, and even if it were, that site currently discloses nothing to the public that a buyer could evaluate. Anyone considering an application there should judge it as a new, undocumented supplier rather than as a continuation of something they once used, and should expect to learn nothing about it until after they have handed over their details.
Closed, redirected and undocumented. Swole AF Labs offers nothing a reader can verify, and the site that inherited its traffic offers no more. Remove it from any shortlist.

Frequently asked questions
Is Swole AF Labs still open?
No. swoleaflabs.com permanently redirects to rcs-research.is, a gated 'RCS Research' site showing only login and application forms. That site does not mention Swole AF Labs anywhere, and the original storefront is gone.
Did Swole AF Labs publish COAs?
Unknown. No page from the original storefront survives, and the redirect target shows no catalog, prices or certificates to the public. Every testing field is unverified.
Where was Swole AF Labs located?
Unknown. Third-party blogs disagree on whether the business was US- or UK-based. The redirect target claims US-based support and 'Since 2018', but it operates under a different name and makes no claim to be the same company.
