Editorial Policy

The Peptide Effect is built to be useful, precise, and honest about uncertainty. The peptide space is noisy; we’re not here to add more noise.

Medical review

Our content is not medically reviewed. We do not claim clinician oversight, and we don’t publish any “doctor‑reviewed” banners.

Sourcing

• Prefer primary literature (peer‑reviewed studies, clinical trials, review papers) when available.
• Use reputable secondary sources (major medical orgs, established medical references) when primary sources are inaccessible.
• Clearly label when claims are preliminary, animal‑only, or anecdotal.

Evidence labeling

We may label statements as Strong, Moderate, or Preliminary to reflect the quality and quantity of evidence. This is a simplification — not a substitute for professional judgment.

Updates and corrections

• Pages may show a “Last updated” date. Significant changes should be reflected there.
• If you report an error, include the URL, the exact quote, the correction, and a supporting source. We’ll verify and patch quickly.

Conflicts and monetization

If we add affiliate links or sponsorships, we will disclose them clearly. Tool pages should remain vendor‑neutral.

What we avoid

• Prescriptive medical advice (“you should take…”).
• Unsupported certainty when evidence is mixed or weak.
• False authority signals (fake reviewers, fake credentials).
