About This Peptide

Start with what you want to change.

1.Start from the goal

This site starts from what you want to change, not from a molecule. There are 5 goals. Each has its own page and its own color.

2.What each goal page shows

A goal page lists the peptides readers look up for that goal. For each one it gives:

  • its FDA status, what that status rests on, and a link to the FDA document;
  • the month that document was read;
  • how many of the sellers we track publish a monthly price for it.

What the studies measured, and in whom, is covered in research. Prices and state coverage are read from each seller’s own site.

A peptide that is not FDA-approved or legal to compound gets research only. No seller, no price. The methodology sets out that rule.

3.Who writes it

  • Leah Garner

    Clinical-evidence editor

    What each peptide's human studies measured: in whom, at what dose, for how long, and what they never tested.

  • Molly Ward

    Goal-guide writer

    The goal pages: what someone trying to change their weight, sleep, recovery, longevity or sexual health can realistically do, and in what order.

  • Craig Palmer

    Peptide pharmacology writer

    How each peptide works in the body: its receptor, its half-life, why it is dosed the way it is, and what that means for a patient.

  • Paul Hardy

    Standards editor

    How the site checks itself: sourcing rules, regulatory status reads, corrections and what a partner can and cannot change.

4.What we do not claim

None of our 4 writers is presented as a clinician. No degrees or institutions are claimed. There are no staff photos.

What we offer instead is a source for every figure. Each FDA status links to the document it rests on. Each study links to its record.

5.How the site is paid for

Reading is free. No seller link on this site earns a commission today; when one does, it will earn through an affiliate network and be labeled. Whether any link on a page earns is stated on that page. The full account is on Disclosures.
