Peptide Research Guide is an independent educational resource dedicated to providing researchers, clinicians, and the scientific community with evidence-based peptide information. Our mission is to be the most trusted, comprehensive, and transparent source of peptide research education on the internet.
Every piece of content on Peptide Research Guide follows a rigorous editorial process designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and scientific integrity.
Primary Source Citations: All factual claims in our peptide profiles, guides, and protocols are referenced to published, peer-reviewed research. We cite PubMed-indexed studies, clinical trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov, and other reputable scientific databases. We do not reference anecdotal reports, forum posts, or unverified sources as primary evidence.
Appropriate Evidence Hedging: We carefully distinguish between different evidence levels. Claims supported by Phase III clinical trial data are presented differently than claims based on animal model or in vitro research. We use language like "research suggests," "preclinical data indicates," and "in animal models" to accurately convey the strength of available evidence.
Regular Updates: Scientific understanding evolves. We review and update our content regularly to reflect new research findings, updated safety information, and changes in regulatory status. Each page displays its last-updated date.
Our editorial team includes researchers and writers with backgrounds in biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical research. Content is reviewed for scientific accuracy and regulatory compliance before publication. We are committed to building a team of credentialed experts as the site grows, and we will publish detailed author credentials as our editorial team expands.
Peptide Research Guide participates in affiliate programs. When you click on certain links on our Website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This affiliate income helps support the continued operation and development of this free educational resource.
Affiliate links are present on peptide profile pages, supplier recommendation pages, tool results pages, and certain blog posts. Every page containing affiliate links includes a clear disclosure statement.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or supplier evaluations. This principle is non-negotiable and is enforced through the following practices:
No pay-for-ranking: Suppliers cannot pay for a higher position in our rankings. Our 100-point evaluation methodology is applied consistently to all suppliers regardless of affiliate status.
Transparent methodology: We publish our complete evaluation criteria so that any researcher can independently assess suppliers using the same framework.
Honest assessments: Our supplier reviews include both strengths and areas for improvement. We do not publish reviews that are entirely positive without noting any limitations.
Content-first approach: Our peptide profiles, protocols, and educational guides are written based on published scientific evidence, not to promote any particular supplier or product.
Peptide Research Guide will not publish content that makes therapeutic claims for non-FDA-approved peptides; presents anecdotal evidence as scientific fact; recommends specific dosing protocols as personal medical advice; promotes peptides for human consumption (unless referencing FDA-approved indications); misleads readers about the evidence level supporting any claim; or is influenced by financial relationships with suppliers or advertisers.
We are committed to compliance with applicable regulations. Our content adheres to FTC guidelines for affiliate disclosure, presents peptides in the context of published research (not as consumer health products), clearly distinguishes between FDA-approved therapeutics and research compounds, and includes appropriate disclaimers on all pages. See our Medical Disclaimer for complete details.
If we identify an error in our content, we will correct it promptly and transparently. If a correction materially changes the meaning or conclusions of a published piece, we will note the correction at the top of the page with the date of the correction and a brief description of what was changed.
