Editorial & Funding Policy

Most peptide content online is funded by the gray market — "research use only" suppliers paying a commission on every vial their audience buys. That model has an obvious problem: you cannot honestly evaluate products sold by the people paying you.

We refuse that money for three reasons.

1. Independence. Our only job is telling you what the evidence shows — and what it doesn't. A vendor commission makes that impossible.
2. Your safety. Research-chemical products are not approved for human use and are not manufactured under pharmaceutical quality standards. Published testing of gray-market products has found underdosed, contaminated, and counterfeit vials. We will not earn money that depends on you taking that risk.
3. The law. These products are not legal to sell for human use. We won't profit from steering you toward them, and we will never point you to a place to buy them. What we will do is teach you how this market works, what third-party testing does and doesn't prove, and what legal, regulated routes exist for approved compounds.

How we make money

Reader-purchased guides and references; clearly disclosed affiliate relationships with legitimate, regulated companies only (licensed telehealth, accredited laboratories, mainstream retailers); and, eventually, sponsorships from companies we would cover anyway — always labeled. Every affiliate link and sponsored piece is disclosed where it appears, and current partners are listed on our affiliate disclosure page.

Editorial review

Letters and guides are reviewed for accuracy by a licensed Physician Assistant (PA-C). That review is editorial, not medical advice — nothing we publish replaces a clinician who knows your history.

Corrections
