Editorial standards

How this site picks sources, labels doses and handles mistakes.

What we use as sources

  • Approved-drug labels (prescribing information).
  • ClinicalTrials.gov records.
  • Peer-reviewed papers, shown with PubMed IDs.
  • The WADA Prohibited List, for sport rules.
  • Regulator pages, such as the Philippine FDA and the US FDA.

If we cannot confirm a fact with a real source, we leave it out.

How we label doses

Every dose on the site carries one of three labels. We never mix them together.

LabelMeaning
LabelThe schedule on an approved drug’s official prescribing information.
StudyWhat a named clinical study used.
CommunityWhat people report doing. A report, not evidence.

What the evidence labels mean

Each protocol has one evidence label. The “Tested in” column says where the research was done.

LabelMeaning
Approved drugA regulator has approved it as a medicine.
Human trialsTested in people, but not approved for this use.
Animal studies onlyTested in animals, not yet in people.
Lab studies onlyTested in cells or in the lab only.

How we check a page

  1. We start from the label, the registry record or the paper, never from a summary.
  2. We copy numbers exactly as written, with units.
  3. We name the source next to the number so you can open it.
  4. We keep community reports in their own box, marked as reports.
  5. We write in short sentences so the numbers are easy to see.

A protocol with no approved label and no human study will say so plainly. We do not fill the gap with guesses.

Registry records we exclude

Not every ClinicalTrials.gov entry is a real study. Some are posted as fictional examples. We check the sponsor of each record and exclude those that are not genuine.

Who we are not

  • We do not sell peptides.
  • We take no sponsors.
  • We list no sellers.
  • We show no prices and no quality grades.
  • We never claim personal use. Nobody here says “we tried it”.

How we date reviews

Each page shows when it was last checked, for example “Reviewed Nov 2026”. When a label, trial or rule changes, we update the page and the date.

Report a mistake

Message us with a source and we will check it. A link to the label, trial or paper is the fastest way. We fix confirmed errors and update the review date.
