You’re doing your own research because you have to. We built this wiki so you can trust what you find.
Every numerical clinical claim should be traceable to a primary source, approved label, registry, regulator, or systematic review. Community reports are not adverse-event rates.
◇
PubMed first.
We start where the science starts. Human trials outrank animal studies, which outrank lab work. Our evidence tiers follow the best available human data, not the volume of rodent papers.
◇
Anecdotes stay anecdotes.
Community reports can identify questions worth studying. They do not establish efficacy, incidence, dose, causation, or a safe routine.
◇
Suppliers are not a source. Ever.
We do not use supplier copy, marketing materials, or their lab reports to inform any protocol. Their job is to sell. Our job is to verify.
Two people review every page. One of them has direct experience with the peptide being discussed.
◇
Every number is traceable.
Clinical efficacy and adverse-event numbers require a source. A trial dose describes that protocol; it is not converted into a recommendation. Approved-product instructions must identify the exact formulation.
◇
Dates are non-negotiable.
Every profile has a ‘last updated’ stamp. Anything older than 12 months gets flagged for a full re-review. The science changes. So do we.
A tier describes the state of the research. It does not tell you if a peptide will work for you. It tells you how much is known and how much is still a guess.
◇
Approval is product specific.
A regulator approves an exact product, indication, population, route, strength, and manufacturing package. Approval does not transfer to a research vial, another formulation, or a different use.
◇
Human evidence needs context.
We name the population, comparator, route, estimand, outcome, and limitations. Sponsor topline results stay labeled until peer-reviewed details are available.
◇
Preclinical is not clinical.
Cell, animal, mechanistic, vendor, and uncontrolled evidence is labeled explicitly and never rewritten as a demonstrated human benefit.
These are the things we refuse to do, no matter how many times we’re asked.
◇
No dosing for minors or pregnancy.
Not now, not ever. Those questions are for a clinician, period.
◇
No supplier recommendations.
We teach you how to audit a source. We will not name one. Your safety depends on your own diligence, not our endorsement.
◇
No unsupported stacking advice.
A popular combination is not validated. We require combination-specific human evidence before describing a stack as safe, effective, or routine.
Looking for a specific peptide?
Every profile has its own sources, reported side effects, and dosing data.
Community reference, not medical advice. Nothing here is approved for human use unless noted. Talk to a healthcare professional before starting any protocol. vialprep is an independent education resource for peptides and GLP-1s.
