Editorial

How pages are written and reviewed

The rules every compound page, comparison, stack guide and article on this site follows.

Who writes this

Content is written and reviewed by the amino101 editorial team: people who read the primary literature, use the calculator themselves, and have no financial stake in any vendor. Every page carries the date it was last updated. The site has no medical reviewer on staff, which is one reason nothing here is presented as advice.

Evidence is graded, not implied

Every research finding on a compound page is tagged with its evidence type: in vitro, rodent, human pilot, human RCT, or clinical. Each compound gets an overall research level (extensive, well researched, limited, preclinical only) and a set of indicators for human trials, animal data, safety data, regulatory status and WADA status. When a compound has only rat data, the page says so in the first paragraph. When the human data is thin or comes from one lab, the page says that too.

Dose language

Dose ranges on this site describe what appears in published research and in community protocols. They are not recommendations. The wording is deliberate: "commonly reported", "typical protocols use", "trial doses were". A page never tells a reader what to take. Most compounds covered are not approved for human use anywhere, and the ones that are approved are prescription drugs with their own labels.

Sourcing

Compound pages list the papers they draw on. Where a claim comes from a sponsor press release or a topline result that has not been peer reviewed, the page says so. Regulatory statements name the agency and the date. Nothing is copied from other peptide sites, which is partly a matter of ethics and partly because most of them are stores.

Vendors and money

Some vetted vendors provide a promo code or referral link, and that is the site's only revenue. Vendors cannot pay to be listed, ranked, mentioned on a compound page, or kept on the list. Vendor reviews are written by the same people who write the compound pages, against the published vetting criteria, and a vendor that stops passing is removed. Editorial content is never shown to a vendor before publication.

Updates and corrections

Each page shows a last-updated date that comes from the site's own revision history, so it cannot drift from the content. Compound pages are revisited when a new trial reports, when a regulator acts, or when a reader points out an error. Corrections go to support@amino101.com. Name the page and the source, and the fix will be made and dated.

What this site is not

It is not medical advice and it does not sell anything. It exists so that someone reading a forum post or a vendor page has somewhere to check what a compound actually is, what the evidence actually shows, and how the math actually works. Talk to a clinician who knows your history before using any of it.
