Mission
PeptideFactSheets helps general readers understand peptide medicines and research without hype, sales pressure, or a science degree. Content is educational and is not a substitute for licensed medical care.
Source hierarchy
- FDA labels, approval records, announcements, and safety communications
- ClinicalTrials.gov records
- Peer-reviewed human studies
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- NIH, PubMed, MedlinePlus, and major medical institutions
- Company releases only for clearly labeled company-reported milestones
Sources we do not use as proof
- Vendor and pharmacy marketing
- Influencer or forum claims
- Testimonials and anecdotes
- Unverified social posts
- AI-generated claims without primary-source verification
Plain-English standards
We define necessary jargon, lead with the answer, distinguish association from causation, and state whether evidence comes from people, animals, or laboratories. We avoid “miracle,” “best,” “safe for everyone,” and unsupported treatment language.
Evidence checks
Fact sheets show regulatory status, evidence level, risks, unknowns, and primary sources so readers can check the answer directly. Claims are matched to linked sources and softened or removed when the evidence does not support certainty.
An individual page is not represented as physician-reviewed unless that credential is explicitly disclosed on the page.
Regulatory and research updates
Status can change. We review high-interest pages when a major approval, warning, trial result, discontinuation, or label change occurs. Trial registration alone is never described as a positive result.
Corrections
Readers can suggest a correction through the contact page. Include the page, disputed passage, and a primary source. Substantive corrections are made promptly, related pages are checked for the same issue, and the verification trail is preserved in our editorial records and version history.
Conflicts of interest
Coverage and conclusions may not be purchased. Contributors must disclose material financial relationships relevant to assigned content. We do not accept payment from peptide vendors, research-chemical sellers, compounding pharmacies, or prescription platforms in exchange for coverage.
Advertising independence
Advertising is visually and technically separated from editorial content. Advertisers cannot approve copy, choose evidence ratings, suppress risks, or receive undisclosed favorable treatment.
Medical and commercial boundaries
We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, sell peptides, recommend vendors, or publish dosing, injection, reconstitution, cycling, stacking, or sourcing instructions.
