The Trust Vault

A COA is not enough.

A certificate proves a sample was tested. Peppies links the item in your hand to a batch, a serial, a scan history, an expiry date, and a Passport. Paper says one lot was clean once. The Vault tells you about this bottle, today.

01 — The gap

The problem with ordinary sellers.

Most sellers hand you a PDF and call it proof. A generic certificate floats free of the bottle it's supposed to vouch for. Here is everything that PDF leaves out — and what a Peppies item carries instead.

Comparison of what an ordinary seller provides versus what a Peppies item carries, across nine trust dimensions.
What you get Ordinary seller A Peppies item
Certificate Generic COA PDF Batch-matched certificate
Item identity No vial-level identity Serialized item
Verification Nothing to scan NFC / QR token
Visual ID Look-alike label PepCode visual ID
Tamper No seal status Tamper status
History No scan history Passport history
Recall route No recall route Recall-ready notifications
Refill No refill logic Refill rhythm
Support No protocol support Education & support

Comparison is illustrative of the Peppies model. “Support” means education and protocol guidance — not medical advice. Speak with an independent qualified professional before making medical decisions.

02 — The record

The Batch Trust Vault.

Every batch opens its own page in the Vault. Scan the token on your cap and this is what loads — the full chain behind the bottle in your hand.

What “batch-matched” means

An ordinary COA could belong to any bottle. Here, the certificate is bound to the exact lot that filled your serial — and the serial is bound to your Passport. Paper, batch, and item travel together.

The token holds nothing about you

The NFC/QR on the cap holds a random token only — never personal or health data. Private front, full identity on scan, emergency identity under peel-back.

03 — The summary

TrustScore — six checks, one number.

Every scan runs six independent checks against the live record, then resolves to a single figure. A perfect 100 needs all six green; anything short shows you exactly which line to look at.

Verified means this item passed the check at scan time. Example figure.

04 — Honest limits

What the scan can — and cannot — prove.

Verification earns trust by being honest about its edges. The scan proves where it came from. It does not pretend to be a clinician.

The scan can

Verify a Peppies-issued identity — confirm this serial and PepCode were genuinely issued by us.
Link to batch records — open the matched certificate, test date, and chain-of-custody for this lot.
Show expiry and recall — surface the expiry date and whether the batch has ever been flagged.

The scan cannot

Replace medical advice — it is not a diagnosis or a prescription. Speak with an independent qualified professional.
Guarantee results — knowing where it came from is not an outcome. What works for one body may not work for another.
Replace required printed information — the leaflet, usage notes, and warnings in the box still apply.
05 — Owner lock

An item belongs to one member.

When you register a scan, that item is assigned to your member account. Anyone else who scans it sees authenticity only — never your record. Selling or gifting it on? Transfer ownership in the app.

06 — Recall-ready

If a batch is ever flagged, we can reach you.

Because every item is serialized and owner-locked, the chain runs both ways. A clean lot stays quiet. A flagged one can notify exactly the members who hold it — by serial, not by guesswork.

Vault · batch monitor
Lot 0424 — no action needed

Your Glow Drops batch is clear. Tested 2026-03-18, no flags, monitored daily.

If a batch is ever flagged

The app can notify affected members directly — with the lot, the reason, and the next step. Example of a flagged-state notification.

Serialized, so it scales down

A recall doesn't have to be a press release that worries everyone. It can be a single quiet message to the few members who actually hold the affected serials.

Two-way by design

The same link that proves your bottle is genuine is the link we use to reach you if something changes about its batch. Trust that only runs one way isn't trust.

Proof you can hold

A certificate is a claim. The Vault is a record.

Buy a formula and the bottle in your hand carries its own batch, serial, scan history, expiry, and Passport — verified at every scan, recall-ready for life.
