Peptide harm reduction applies harm-reduction principles — reducing harm among people engaged in a practice, without requiring that they stop — to the situation of people obtaining peptides outside regulated supply.[1]

The uncertainties are specific and documented elsewhere on this wiki: identity, which a purity figure does not establish; content, which determines how much active substance a vial holds; sterility, which a research-chemical powder does not have; and provenance, which determines whether any document attaches to the material at all.[2]
