Editorial policy

Independence

Peptide World is funded by advertising and reader support. Advertisers have no say over what we write. We don’t sell products, don’t use affiliate links to product sellers, and don’t accept payment for coverage. Advertisements are clearly labeled “Advertisement” and visually separated from articles.

Sourcing

We base articles on peer-reviewed research, registered clinical trials, and documents from regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. We link to primary sources at the end of every article so you can check our work.

Evidence grading

Every compound and article carries an evidence ladder showing the strongest type of human evidence that exists — not whether a compound “works”:

• In vitro: cell or tissue studies only.
• Animal: studies in animals, usually rodents.
• Human pilot: small or uncontrolled studies in people.
• Human RCT: at least one randomized controlled trial in people.

Medical review

Articles are written by our editorial team and reviewed for accuracy by [Medical reviewer name, credentials — e.g. PharmD or MD] before publication. Review dates are shown on each article.

Use of AI

The AI Scholar chat is an automated tool. It generates educational summaries on request and can make mistakes; it is labeled as AI wherever it appears. Articles in our Research Library are written and reviewed by people.

Health claims

We don’t make claims that any compound treats, cures or prevents disease, and we don’t provide dosing, sourcing or usage instructions.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction and date at the end of the article. Send corrections to [contact email, e.g. hello@yourdomain.com] or use our contact form.
