Why animal evidence isn't human evidence
Most peptide hype rests on animal data that may not translate.
A large share of peptide claims online trace back to animal or cell studies. These are valuable for understanding mechanism and generating hypotheses — but they routinely fail to translate to humans.
Differences in dose scaling, physiology, disease models, and study quality mean an effect seen in rodents may be smaller, absent, or even harmful in people. Treating preclinical findings as if they were human findings is the single most common error in this space.
That is why our evidence model separates human from preclinical evidence and flags translation risk, rather than collapsing everything into one number.
