Claim audits

Every claim, graded against its study.

First-person essays that re-read the studies the peptide market cites and grade what they can actually support.

Semax
2026-09-05
Semax Isn't Under-Researched. It's Under-Translated.
Decades of work exists on this peptide. Almost nothing an English reader can actually open says a word about human cognition, and I sell the stuff.

Semax
2026-08-28
Semax Is Approved in Russia. That's a Fact About a Regulator, Not a Result.
I went looking for the human trial I could hand you and came back with mice, a negative result, and one honest reason the Western data is thin.

Semax
2026-08-22
Everyone Opens With "Semax Is Approved in Russia." Approval and Replication Are Two Different Columns.
A three-column test for reading any compound whose evidence sits behind a language border, and what the English-language literature on Semax actually contains.

Semax
2026-08-22
"It's an Approved Drug in Russia." That's the Weakest Argument for Semax, Not the Strongest.
Semax has a real evidence base, which is exactly what makes it easy to overstate: almost none of it was collected in healthy people at a desk, and almost nobody outside its home research tradition has checked it.

Semax
2026-08-22
Semax Has Been Used Clinically for Decades. That's a Claim About Russia, Not About Cognition.
The most convincing sentence in the Semax conversation is a fact about a healthcare system, and buyers keep mistaking it for evidence about a molecule.

retatrutide
2026-08-16
Lilly Sued Six Sellers Over Retatrutide. The Real Defendant Is Three Words.
The suits are aimed at "research use only", which is the sentence this whole market is built on, including the footer of the shop you buy from.

retatrutide
2026-08-16
Lilly Cannot Sue Anyone for Selling an Unapproved Drug. So What Is the Claim?
A reader asked how you sue over a drug nobody is allowed to sell yet. The answer runs through a 2014 Supreme Court case and one word in it: "or".

BPC-157
2026-08-16
BPC-157 Wasn't Banned. It Was Left Off a List.
Four separate regulatory facts get crushed into the word 'legal,' and almost every confident answer online is answering a question you didn't ask.

Semax
2026-08-13
"Approved in Russia Since the 1990s." That's a Fact About Russia, Not About Semax.
I sell Semax, and when I followed the claims about it back to their sources, most of them stopped within two clicks. Here's how to tell which ones stop where.

GHK-Cu
2026-08-07
GHK-Cu and KPV Are Both Three Amino Acids Long. That's Where the Resemblance Ends.
They share a shelf heading, not a mechanism. Here is the four-point test I run before I let the word "versus" into a sentence about two compounds.
Animal1,033 words
MOTS-c
2026-08-07
MOTS-c and SS-31 Are Not Two Versions of the Same Idea. One Is a Signal, One Is a Scaffold.
They share an address inside the cell and almost nothing else, which is why reading one's evidence into the other will steer you wrong.

CJC-1295
2026-08-06
Tesamorelin Is Approved. CJC-1295 Is Living Off Its Reputation.
The GH-axis peptides are not one evidence base, they're a steep ladder, and the rung most buyers think they're standing on isn't the one they're on.

tirzepatide
2026-08-05
Tirzepatide "Prevents Diabetes." Prevented, Delayed, or Masked?
The prevention result is one of the stronger things in the incretin literature, and the screenshot version of it can't answer any of the three questions that would make it usable.
Observational human1,060 words
2026-08-03
The COA They Sent You Is Real. That Doesn't Mean It's About Your Vial.
Five fields decide whether a certificate of analysis describes the vial in your hand or one somebody tested once, two years ago, and you can check all five in thirty seconds.

BPC-157
2026-08-03
BPC-157 Isn't "Only Rat Studies." It's Tier 2, and That's the Argument You Should Be Having.
The claim everyone repeats is factually wrong and directionally right, here's the evidence ladder that settles it in one question.
Animal1,080 words
BPC-157
2026-08-03
BPC-157 and TB-500 Do Different Things on Paper. The Blend Ratio Is Still Somebody's Guess.
Two distinct proposed mechanisms, one shared evidence ceiling, and no published study that tested the pair against either compound alone.

CJC-1295
2026-08-03
Your COA Says 99.9%. That Number Can Be True and the Vial Still Be Short.
Purity tells you the composition of what's in the vial. It says nothing about how much is in there, and almost every certificate published to buyers answers the first question and quietly skips the second.

thymosin beta-4
2026-08-03
TB-500 Is Seven Amino Acids. The Research It Borrows Is About the Whole Protein.
A new scoping review mapped 80 studies on thymosin beta-4 and TB-500, and exactly one of them studied TB-500 directly. Here's what that does to every claim on the market.
