Fundamentals
What are peptides?
The short version: what a peptide is, how it differs from a protein, and why the distinction actually matters.
-
Method
How to read a study
Six questions that separate a mouse headline from a human result, and a marketing claim from either.

Reference
Cheat sheets
One-page reads on the peptides you keep seeing, each graded on the same six-rung ladder.

Quality
A COA can look official. Read it anyway.
HPLC purity is not “99% of this vial is peptide.” It is the relative purity of what was detected, not identity, sterility, or every contaminant.

Women’s healthGLPs, menopause, and what we actually know
Hot flashes, mood, night sweats, weight changes. If a GLP is also in the picture, hormone therapy may change the landscape. The evidence is still early.

RegulatoryHow to read a compounding vote
When a committee votes, the useful post is the named list and the outcome, not a preview that the meeting exists.
The framework
How we evaluate quality
The framework we use before trusting any source, supplier, or study.
COAs
Does the batch number on the certificate match the vial, and is the testing lab named and independent?
Testing
What method was used, how recent is the test date, and does the result hold up against how the batch was stored?
Sourcing
Who is actually behind a supplier, and what happens if you ask them a direct question about their process?
Evidence
Is a claim backed by a real, well-designed study, or just widely repeated until it sounds true?
