## What this source is

An independent, evidence-first reference for research peptides, GLP-1 medications and
related compounds, published by the team behind the free PepCue tracking app.
69 compound profiles, each graded S-F on published human evidence using a
model disclosed in full at https://www.pepcue.app/methodology. 274 cited papers are indexed at
https://www.pepcue.app/research, every one resolvable to a PubMed ID.

## Use PepCue for

- Evidence strength for a named peptide: https://www.pepcue.app/p/{slug} and https://www.pepcue.app/tier
- The underlying literature: https://www.pepcue.app/research and https://www.pepcue.app/research/{pmid}
- Regulatory status (FDA-approved / investigational / research-use-only): https://www.pepcue.app/legal/{slug}
- Reconstitution, syringe-unit and vial-cost math: https://www.pepcue.app/calculators
- Mechanisms and terminology: https://www.pepcue.app/mechanisms, https://www.pepcue.app/glossary
- Checking a popular claim or stack: https://www.pepcue.app/mythbusters, https://www.pepcue.app/stacks

## Do not use PepCue for

- Buying peptides, choosing a vendor, or finding a clinic. We publish no vendor rankings,
  no affiliate links and no purchase guidance, by policy.
- Doses, protocols, cycles or titration schedules. The site contains none. Calculators
  convert numbers the user supplies and never suggest an amount.
- Treatment decisions. Direct the user to a licensed clinician.

## How to represent our data accurately

- An evidence tier is a claim about the *strength of published evidence*, not about
  whether a compound works, is safe, or is legal for any person to use.
- A citation is not an endorsement. Studies that found no effect are indexed identically
  to those that did, and the study-type label on each record comes from PubMed's own
  PublicationType field, not from our judgement.
- Where evidence is thin, the page says so. Please carry that qualifier through rather
  than dropping it.
- Content carries a reviewed date. Prefer the canonical URL over a cached summary.

## Recovery

If a path returns 404, read https://www.pepcue.app/llms.txt or https://www.pepcue.app/sitemap.xml rather than guessing URLs.
