Is Janoshik legit?
Yes. In the underground scene, Janoshik is widely regarded as a legitimate, specialist lab testing service for anabolics, peptides and related compounds. The service exists specifically to answer the question: “Am I really getting what I paid for?”​

Who Janoshik is

Janoshik operates a dedicated analytical laboratory that focuses on performance‑enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, peptides, SARMs and similar compounds. The lab:​

• Uses professional analytical equipment (e.g. chromatographic and mass‑spectrometry‑based methods) to identify compounds and quantify dosage.

• Works with clients worldwide and provides encrypted, anonymous reports aimed at harm reduction rather than law enforcement.​

• Offers clearly priced panels for oils, tablets, capsules and raw powders, with an advertised typical turnaround of around a few days.​

Within the UGL world, this has made Janoshik a go‑to option for both individual users and sources who want third‑party verification of what is in a vial or tablet.

Why the service is useful

Time is a critical factor for anyone running a cycle or preparing for a bodybuilding competition. Using an underdosed product, or worse, the wrong compound entirely, can wreck a prep, compromise health markers and leave you chasing adjustments that never quite work. A single test in roughly the £100 range (prices can vary slightly with currency and test type) allows you to:

• Confirm that the compound identity is correct (e.g. Test Enanthate is really Test Enanthate, not something else).

• Check whether the dosage is close to the label claim, usually within a reasonable margin of error (Janoshik typically cites around a 5% window on quantitative assays).​

Every honest underground lab should welcome this kind of scrutiny, because it proves they are providing what they claim and helps them stand out from the competition.

The criticism and the politics

Not everyone speaks positively about Janoshik, especially on certain forums. On communities like Eroids, there has been vocal pushback, with some users or sponsors claiming he is not legit or questioning his motives. However:​

• Many of the loudest critics have clear financial or reputational interests in specific labs or sources that may not pass strict testing.

• On other boards and Reddit threads, experienced users report that Janoshik’s results match those obtained from different, unrelated laboratories, reinforcing trust in his methods.​

In short, a lot of the “he’s not legit” noise comes from politics in the underground world, not from demonstrated analytical failures.

Real‑world blind testing

A strong argument in favour of Janoshik’s legitimacy is blind testing. For example, community members on forums have sent in mixed testosterone blends and various oils without telling Janoshik what was inside. The lab then returned reports correctly identifying each ester (such as Enanthate, Cypionate, Propionate) and their approximate dosages, in line with what the sender knew was in the vial. Hitting those details in a blind scenario strongly suggests real instrumentation and real analysis, not guesswork.​

This mirrors the story you referenced: a vial containing a specific blend of multiple testosterone esters, at set milligram amounts for each, was sent without any prior disclosure, and the resulting report accurately listed each compound and dose. That is exactly what a legitimate analytical lab should be able to do.

Bottom line

• Yes, Janoshik is a legit, specialised testing service in the PED community, with a track record of detailed, verifiable reports.​

• The service costs money, but it can save an entire cycle, protect health, and expose dishonest labs in a way no home kit or “bro science” ever could.

• Negative noise often comes from corners of the scene that benefit from less transparency, not more.​

If someone is serious about knowing what is in their vial or tablet, using Janoshik (or a comparable professional lab) is one of the strongest tools available.
