How we read the research.

We answer three questions about peptides in plain English: what the evidence shows, what's legal, and what's safe.

Primary sources first

We rely on FDA documents and warning letters, the Federal Register, peer-reviewed studies on PubMed, and anti-doping rules. Every article lists its sources, and each regulatory page carries the date it was last checked.

Human evidence is weighed separately

Animal and cell studies can be promising without showing that something works in people. We say clearly which kind of evidence supports a claim.

Editorial review

Articles are researched and written with AI assistance, then edited and checked against the primary sources listed on each page. They are not reviewed by a medical professional.

What we don't do

We don't publish dosing protocols for unapproved peptides, sell peptides, or link to sellers. Nothing here is medical or legal advice.
