Peptides, nootropics and related compounds — in English, with the limits of the evidence in plain view.
86 compounds and combinations — from peptides to nootropics, SARMs, and what exists registered in Brazil —, with dose, reconstitution, cycle structure, and regulatory status. Each page separates what a published trial tested from what is merely community-reported practice, because the difference between the two is the whole subject. In 29 of them the figures did not come from a secondary source: they were checked against PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the package insert — with the query declared on each page, for you to repeat and contradict me.
The difference between the two is printed on every table of this site: where the figure was verified, the table carries a ruler on its edge and the value is set in a different typeface. Where it was not, it carries nothing.
Experimental material. Read before using anything from here.
Nothing on this page is a medical recommendation, prescription or treatment plan. It is an organized translation of protocols circulating in research communities and, where it exists, of what published trials tested. The two are marked differently — and they are not equivalent.
Most of the compounds here have no FDA approval for human use. Several are sold labeled "research use only", which means they have not gone through purity, sterility or dosage controls for human consumption. A community-reported dose is not a validated dose: it is what someone reported having done.
Talk to a licensed health professional before considering any of these compounds. If you already use one and feel anything unexpected, seek care — do not wait for the next routine test.
Nootropics
The site was born from peptides, but the most consulted part today is this one — and they are two different questions, on two pages. How many trials exist is not the same thing as what they found.
The registration badge comes from the scan of open data done on September 4, 2026, and appears only on the 44 compounds that were measured one by one. Combinations and method pages have no badge.
No compound matches the search.

Verified against primary sources
Pages built directly from PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov, not from the secondary source. They carry the evidence count and the query used.
Dose adjustment for hepatic function
Partially approvedHere it is not just a gap: there is documented harm, with numbers and outcomes — and it hits exactly the people this site attracts
Dose adjustment for renal function
Partially approvedWhere the data exist, the package insert says not to adjust anything — and the real risk sits three sections up, in an item almost nobody reads
Monoclonal antibodies
Partially approvedThirty-five times heavier than a peptide, made by a living cell and given by intravenous infusion — of the three that come up in the body-composition conversation, only one has a label
Khavinson short bioregulators
Not approvedEleven peptides, five clinical studies, zero registered trials
CRISPR
Partially approvedOut of 64,641 articles, 67 are clinical trials and 1 became a drug — and what limits that drug is not the gene editing, it is the chemotherapy around it
Baldness — the old and what's coming
Partially approvedEighteen treatments measured on the same yardstick: minoxidil has 23 active registrations as an anti-baldness treatment, and PP405, which circulates as a research powder, has 1 article on PubMed
Casgevy
Partially approvedThe declared bottleneck is not the price — in England there are 1,794 eligible patients and 23 treatments in the first year, and the reason the assessor writes down is hospitalization, not cost
Kidney disease
Partially approvedFrom zero to six drugs in four and a half years — and five of them were approved on a number that is not the one that matters to the patient
Exosomes
Not approved45,674 articles, 83 randomized trials, and no product approved by any agency
Liver and lipids
Partially approvedThirteen molecules with two-digit PubMed article counts and outcome trials of up to 17,300 participants — and only one of them, inclisiran, has active registration
Geroprotectors
Partially approvedSeventeen candidates to delay aging: 6 don't have a single registered phase 3 trial, and 8 of the 13 active ingredients searched have no active registration
Next-generation incretins and amylins
Partially approvedThirteen molecules competing for semaglutide's spot — 11 already have a registered phase 3, and 9 of the 11 with a published INN have not a single active registration
Prescription-only items from the list
Partially approved13 drugs that appeared mixed in with supplements
KLOW — the evidence
Not approvedThe blend still has no trial, but three components entered clinical phase in 2026
Mazdutide
Not approved12 phase 3 trials, published in NEJM, JAMA and Nature — and no package insert
Eastern European drugs
Partially approved18 imported drugs, 29 registered trials — and a forgotten history of deaths
Meldonium (mildronate)
Partially approved357 articles, 7 registered trials — and a detection window of months
Muscle, bone, HPG axis and immune system
Partially approvedFifteen molecules that peptide chatter cites as though they were equivalent to research vials — 6 of the 14 searched have active registration, with a declared commercial name and therapeutic class
Neuro and cognition — the Russian bloc and what has a label
Partially approvedNoopept, phenylpiracetam, bromantane, and cortexin together have 0 registered studies on ClinicalTrials.gov; lecanemab and donanemab already have active registration
Nootropics
Partially approved32 with human evidence, 12 with no trial at all — and four counts that were inflated
The GH axis outside the peptide vial
Partially approvedThe recombinant hormone has 54,472 articles, 183 phase 3 trials, and 9 active registrations; the secretagogues the community uses instead have zero active registrations
The GLP-1s against the package insert
Partially approvedThe doses were right. The black box warning was missing
Repair beyond BPC and TB-500
Not approvedThymosin β-4 has 4 phase 3 trials — and they are for dry eye drops, not muscle repair; AHK-Cu has 1 article on PubMed
SARMs

Semax — the evidence
Partially approvedThe dose in the Russian trials is 12 to 72 times the community's
Effect size
Partially approvedHow many trials exist is one question; what they found is another — 34 meta-analyses opened

Treatments that aren't a substance
Partially approvedFive procedures that compete with this site's vials and add up to 69,593 articles on PubMed and 5,349 registered studies
Alcohol and steatosis
Partially approvedThe underlying cause no liver panel sees — and one that multiplies, rather than adds to, the risk of everything else you take
