Not medical advice
Peptide Decode publishes general educational information about peptides. Reading it does not create a clinician–patient relationship. We do not know your medical history, your medications, your conditions, or your circumstances, and nothing here is tailored to you.
Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you read on this site. Never start, stop, or change a medication based on an article. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
“Research use only” compounds
Several compounds covered on this site - including BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin - are sold in the United States labelled for laboratory research use only. That label is not a formality or a wink. It is the legal basis on which a vendor is permitted to sell them at all.
These compounds are not approved by the FDA for human use. In practice that means:
- No regulator has assessed whether they are safe or effective in people.
- Nobody verifies what is actually in the vial - not its identity, purity, sterility, or dose.
- They are not manufactured to pharmaceutical quality standards.
- Most of what is known about them comes from animal studies, which frequently do not translate to humans.
We cover them because people are using them and deserve accurate information rather than marketing copy. That is not an endorsement, and describing something accurately is not recommending it.
The calculator
Our reconstitution calculator performs arithmetic on numbers you type in. It converts a mass and a volume into a concentration, and a concentration and a dose into a syringe reading. That is all it does.
It does not know what is in your vial. It has no view on whether a dose is appropriate, safe, or advisable for you, and it cannot have one. It is a tool for understanding the arithmetic - not a dosing recommendation, and not a suggestion that you administer anything to yourself or anyone else.
Supplements and cosmetics
Dietary supplements and cosmetics are not approved by the FDA before they go on sale. That is normal and it is how the law works - but it does mean the manufacturer, not a regulator, is responsible for their safety and their claims. Statements about supplements on this site have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and no product discussed here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Some pages also link telehealth providers who may compensate us for a referral.
Commission never determines what we recommend, how products are ranked, or what the evidence sections say. Oureditorial policy sets out exactly how we separate the two. We do not sell any product ourselves.
Accuracy and currency
We work hard to be accurate and to cite primary sources, but science and regulation both move. Regulatory status in particular can change quickly - a compound's legal position can shift without the internet noticing for months. Articles carry a published and updated date; treat anything undated elsewhere on the internet with suspicion, including copies of our own work.
We make no warranty that this site is complete, current, or error-free. If you spot something wrong,please tell us.
External links
We link to research, regulators and vendors. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, or what they sell you.
