How We Source & Verify

What stands behind the information on PeptideChat, and where its limits are.

Last updated

Citations are checked against PubMed

The library cites 722 studies across 182 of its 193 entries. Every citation links to its PubMed record, and each one was checked against the National Library of Medicine's database to confirm the paper exists and that the title we show is the record's own title, word for word. An automated check flags any citation that is missing its link.

When a claim could not be tied to a real paper, we removed the citation rather than keep an unverifiable one. Some entries therefore have few or no citations. That is deliberate: for many research peptides, little published evidence exists.

What the research labels mean

  • Clinical: studied in humans, in some cases as an approved drug. It does not mean approved for every use discussed.
  • Preclinical: evidence comes mainly from cell or animal studies. Effects in people are largely unknown.
  • Research chemical: sold for laboratory research, not approved for human use, and not made to pharmaceutical standards.

A study existing is not the same as a result being established. Where evidence is thin, comes from a single group, or is only in animals, the entry says so.

Dosing information

Dosing sections describe ranges reported in published research or commonly discussed in the community, labeled as such. They are not recommendations. The calculator only converts a dose you already have into syringe units.

The AI chat

PeptideChat's chat is powered by Claude, a large language model from Anthropic, and is limited to the peptides in our library. It can be wrong. Check anything important against the cited studies and a qualified clinician.

Vendor links and affiliate disclosure

PeptideChat is an independent educational resource. We do not manufacture, sell, or ship any product. Some pages link to third-party vendors, and we may earn a commission or other compensation when you buy through those links. That does not change the price you pay.

Vendor links go through our own redirect so we can count clicks. That log stores the product and the page the click came from, but no account, IP address, or browser identifier. Vendor relationships do not decide which peptides we cover or what their entries say, and we do not verify any vendor's product quality. See how to read a certificate of analysis.

Keeping it current

Each peptide page shows when its content last changed, and vendor prices and stock are re-synced periodically. Spot an error? Email privacy@peptidechat.com.
