About this project

What we are

ProPeptideGuide is an independent editorial reference resource covering peptide therapies — their mechanisms, evidence base, regulatory status, and the public conversation around them. The intended reader is an informed layperson, healthcare practitioner, or patient who wants something between a forum thread and a clinical monograph.

Our reference points are sites like Examine.com, StatPearls, and the Mayo Clinic's patient-information pages. The editorial standard is to be readable by a careful generalist while remaining precise enough that a practitioner could use the page as a starting point for further reading.

What we are not

ProPeptideGuide does not provide medical advice. It does not sell peptides. It is not affiliated with any pharmaceutical manufacturer, compounding pharmacy, or regulatory body. Where the site links to telehealth providers, those relationships are disclosed inline and on our disclosure page.

Editorial standards

Every page goes through four states: drafted, fact-checked, reviewed, and published. A page is only indexed by search engines and visible to the public after it has cleared all four. The full editorial pipeline is described on the methodology page.

Verification — and what it currently means

We are honest about where we are. Today, every published page carries an "Editorially verified" badge with a verification date, signaling that the page has been fact-checked against primary sources and reviewed by the editorial team. As medical reviewers join the project, individual pages will upgrade to "Medically reviewed by Dr. X" with the reviewer's name, credentials, and date of review.

We do not yet claim medical review on any page. We will not display "Medically reviewed" language until reviewers are formally engaged and named.

Corrections

If you spot an error, please tell us. The corrections page describes how we handle reports and how to submit one.
