← Peptides 101

Approved drugs vs research compounds

The most important distinction on this site.

Some peptides — such as several GLP-1 receptor agonists and certain growth-hormone-axis drugs — are FDA-approved for specific medical indications, backed by human trials and label safety information.

Many others are 'research-use-only': not approved for human use, often studied only in animals or early human work, and sometimes marketed online with claims that far exceed the evidence.

We label every compound accordingly and never present a research compound as if it carried approved-drug evidence.

Educational and research reference only. Not medical advice.
