Our Mission

Peptides.how is a non-profit educational resource dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based information about therapeutic peptides. We believe that understanding the science behind peptide therapies empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health in consultation with qualified healthcare providers.

What We Do

📚 Educate

Provide clear, accessible information on peptide science, mechanisms, and applications based on peer-reviewed research.

🔬 Research

Compile data from scientific literature, clinical trials, and regulatory sources to create comprehensive peptide profiles.

⚖️ Balance

Present both benefits and risks objectively, distinguishing between FDA-approved and investigational peptides.

🛡️ Safety

Emphasize the importance of medical supervision, quality standards, and regulatory compliance.

What We Don't Do

Peptides.how does NOT:

  • Provide medical advice or treatment recommendations
  • Sell or promote any peptide products
  • Advocate for off-label or unapproved uses
  • Replace consultation with healthcare providers
  • Make unsubstantiated claims about peptides
