Editorial policy
Last updated
Sources
Every regulatory status we publish links to its source. We rely on, in order of preference:
- The FDA and other government sources, such as FDA guidance pages and the Drugs@FDA database.
- Peer-reviewed research, usually found through PubMed.
- Published analysis by law firms and established medical or industry publications.
We don't use peptide sellers' websites as sources for regulatory status or evidence. If sources disagree and we can't resolve it, we either say so on the page or leave the item off until we can.
How we describe evidence
We say what kind of evidence a claim rests on: human clinical trials, animal studies or lab studies. A result in rats is not a result in people, and we write it that way.
Dates and updates
Pages that track something that changes show a "Last checked" date. We review the FDA status tracker whenever the FDA announces a change that affects it, and at least once a month.
What we won't publish
- Dosing recommendations, "protocols" or "stacks" for any purpose.
- Claims about a seller's purity or quality that we can't verify.
- A regulatory status we can't cite.
Our calculators
Our calculators do arithmetic on the numbers you enter. We test the math against worked examples by hand, and each calculator page shows its formulas so you can check it yourself. They don't contain preset amounts for any peptide.
Independence
We don't sell peptides. No company reviews or approves our content before it's published. How the site makes money, if at all, is explained on our disclosure page.
Corrections
If you find an error, email [email protected] with the page and, if you can, a source. We check every report, fix verified errors and record them in our corrections log.
