What gets you banned

One page. Read it once, properly. It's the reason your last video disappeared.

The short version

You will almost never get removed for what you talked about. You get removed for instructing, for showing product in a paid ad, and for not disclosing. That's the overwhelming majority of it.

Tier 1 — ends the program, not just your post

Dosing. Any amount, any unit, any framing. Not in a video, a caption, a comment, or a DM. Not "people usually run," not "a common amount is," not a number with a shrug emoji.

Reconstitution, mixing, handling, prep. No water, no syringes, no "here's how I do it," no storage-for-use walkthroughs.

Protocols, stacks, cycles, pairing. A protocol is a dosing instruction wearing a costume.

Anything implying Arctic told someone how to use it. "Arctic recommends," stitching Arctic to someone else's use video, paraphrasing the brand as instructing.

Why these are different from everything else on this page: every other failure here costs you a video or an account, and accounts come back. These convert Arctic from a research materials supplier into something a regulator treats as directing administration or ingestion. Arctic won't even put handling guidance on its own site — the batch-documentation page says outright that it contains no handling, preparation, or procedural guidance. Don't put on your account what the company won't put on its own.

If you're unsure whether something is dosing-adjacent, it is. Skip it.

Tier 2 — kills the video, fast

Vials or product in frame on a paid ad. This is Arctic's most reliable rejection, full stop. Every TikTok video with vials visible has been denied as Prohibited Industry: Medicine & Supplements. Not most. All of them. Blurred doesn't help. Half a second of B-roll doesn't help. A reflection doesn't help.

Compound names in paid ad copy. Google disapproves these as Unapproved substances. Applies to the headline, the description, the on-screen text, and anything visible in a screen recording.

"Studied for…" and every cousin of it. "Researched for," "known for," "may support," "commonly looked at for." Ad reviewers reject indirect efficacy phrasing exactly the same as direct claims. The hedge is not a loophole — it's a claim with more syllables. In a paid ad, don't describe what anything does at all. You don't need to; the paperwork story is the ad.

Before/after or body imagery in an ad. Physique, mirror, scale, side-by-side, "progress." Instant.

Personal-results narrative in an ad. "I've been using," "since I started," "my results." Fine organically. Fatal in a paid ad — it's implied administration or ingestion.

Naming an approved prescription drug brand. In any context, including saying you're not talking about it. Saying the name is the trigger.

Tier 3 — the ones that actually bite good creators

These are the sneaky ones. People who follow every rule above still lose videos to these.

1. The screen recording betrayed you

You recorded the site to prove the documentation is real, and you dragged compound names, vial photos, and prices into an otherwise-clean ad. The /coas page lists names, strengths, lots and purity figures. Product pages have vial photography. Even a browser tab title or a URL-bar autocomplete has done it.

Fix: for paid, record /batch-documentation only, in a private window, clean tab bar — then scrub the file frame by frame before you submit.

2. Disclosure was in the toggle, not the video

The paid-partnership toggle is not disclosure. A line in the caption is not disclosure. #ad in a hashtag wall is not disclosure. A lot of the takedowns in this category over the last few months were disclosure failures, not content failures — creators who did everything else right.

Fix: on screen, first five seconds, said out loud. Six words. Affiliate — I earn a commission if you use my link or code.

3. You answered a question in the comments

This is the most common way a compliant creator loses an account. The video is clean. Then someone asks "how much do you take" and you answer, or you're "just being helpful" in a DM.

Moderation reads comments. Screenshots of comments travel further than the video does.

Your reply, copy it:

"Not something I'll get into — I only cover the documentation side. Everything I link is research use only."

Say it once, don't debate it, move on.

4. Ten creators posted the same script

If the roster posts the same rendered video with a different face, platforms flag it as coordinated spam and everyone eats it, including the people who posted first.

Fix: use the hooks, use your own words, your own edit, your own opening. The kits are raw material, not a template to render.

5. You made a number up

You half-remembered a purity figure or a lot number and stated it on camera. Those change every time a new batch is published. Now you've made a false claim with your face on it, and the receipts are one click away on the public library.

Fix: open /coas the day you film. If you can't read it off the page right then, don't say it.

6. You boosted an organic post

Your best-performing organic video is almost always the worst possible ad — it's personal, it names things, there's product in it. Boosting it sends a video built under organic rules to an ad reviewer.

Fix: never boost. If a post performs, tell the partner desk and shoot a separate ad-safe version.

What's NOT against the rules (stop self-censoring)

On your own organic posts — no money behind them — you are allowed to:

Explain what a class of compound is generally researched for
Explain a mechanism in general terms
Do side-effect awareness content
Tell your own story: what you tried, what you'd do differently, what you wish you knew
Give supplier-vetting advice and name what you check
Do research-literacy content — how to read a paper, a report, a chromatogram
React to bad information in your niche

None of that goes through ad review. The organic surface is much wider than people in this category behave like it is, and the creators who do well here are the ones who figured that out.

You can be a person who talks about this category. You just can't be a manual.

The 10-second check before you post

Did I tell anyone how to use anything? → Don't post.
Is there product in frame and is money going behind this? → Don't post.
Is my disclosure on screen and out loud? → If not, re-edit.
Did I state a number I didn't read off the site today? → Cut it.
Am I about to answer a usage question in the comments? → Don't.

Everything Arctic sells is supplied for laboratory, analytical, educational and in-vitro research only. Not for use in people or animals. 21+.
