Editorial policy
Last updated: 2026-04-15
Peptide Protocol publishes educational content about research peptides. The information is used by people making decisions about their bodies, so we take the accuracy and tone of that content seriously. This page explains how we write it, where we source it, and how we handle mistakes.
What we publish
- Glossary entries — one page per peptide covering dose, half-life, mechanism, side effects, storage, and FDA status.
- Guides — long-form educational content on reconstitution, injection technique, storage, and related practical topics.
- Stacks — editorial guides to peptide combinations, covering synergy, cadence, and side-effect overlap.
- Tools — calculators and visualizers that compute directly from user input. No content personalization, no data collection.
Sources
Every factual claim is grounded in at least one of the following:
- Peer-reviewed literature (PubMed, journal-indexed sources).
- FDA prescribing information and labeling for approved compounds.
- ClinicalTrials.gov for trial phases and outcomes.
- Manufacturer Certificates of Analysis for product-specific details.
- Community-reported protocols — clearly labeled as user-reported, not clinical guidance.
When animal-only data exists for a peptide, we say so. When evidence is anecdotal, we label it that way. We do not dress up weak evidence.
What we do not do
- We do not recommend specific doses for specific people. Dosing is individual and requires clinical input.
- We do not sell peptides, recommend vendors, or accept affiliate payments from peptide suppliers.
- We do not make medical claims about treating, curing, or preventing any disease.
- We do not use AI-generated content without editorial review.
Updates and freshness
Every glossary entry carries a lastReviewed date in its schema markup. We audit the glossary at least every 12 months. Regulatory changes (FDA scheduling, 503A list updates) trigger an immediate review of affected entries.
Conflicts of interest
Peptide Protocol is built by the team behind the Peptide Protocol iPhone app. We link to the app in our content because it is the product this site supports. We do not take money from peptide vendors, compounding pharmacies, or clinics, and we do not have undisclosed affiliate relationships.
