Hi, I’m Anthony. I check peptide claims.

Peptide questionsdeserve clearanswers.

Peptide research can be difficult to read. Search a peptide or question. I’ll show you what the strongest sources support, where the evidence stops, and what is still unknown.

RETA, explainedA claim, checked carefully
  1. The claim
    “RETA’s results mean it is basically approved.”
  2. What the sources show
    Several late-stage trial resultsEarly results reported by the sponsorFound
    An FDA-approved productNone for retatrutide yetNot yet
  3. A clearer answerThe sponsor reported large average weight reductions in late-stage trials.

    Retatrutide is still being studied. It is not approved.

The trial shows what happened in that study. It does not by itself prove approval or that products sold online match the product studied.

Explore peptides

Start with a molecule, topic, or question.

Peptides can be natural signals, approved medicines, substances still being studied, or products sold online. Pick the path that matches your question.

Start with the definitionLearn what peptides are

Learn what peptides are, their possible benefits and risks, and why exact products can differ.

Browse by moleculeBrowse peptides

Search peptide reviews by name, use, approval, or evidence.

Browse by questionRead the guides

Read clear guides about uses, safety, approval, cost, products, and research.

Check exact wordingCheck a claim

See how approval, results in people, known risks, and the exact product studied differ. There is no single score.

Answer five general questions to find the best place to start.

Questions

Start with the question you have.

Each guide answers one question. It shows what studies found without ranking products or telling you what to use.

Uses and outcomesPeptides for weight loss

See what approved medicines, compounds still being studied, and online products have in common—and what they do not.

Performance claimsPeptides for muscle growth

See whether a study measured a body change or a real muscle result in people.

Route mattersPeptides for skin

Keep products used on the skin separate from injections and whole-body claims.

Product and outcomePeptides for hair growth

Check which peptide, finished product, way of use, and hair result a study measured.

Safety and identityAre peptide injections safe?

Compare approved products with pharmacy-made products, products still being studied, and research-labeled products. Their risks are not the same.

Approval and productsFDA-approved peptides

See which products have an FDA-approved use and exactly what that approval covers.

Products and evidenceWhat is peptide therapy?

Learn what people may mean by peptide therapy, from approved medicines to pharmacy-made and online products.

Peptide reviews

See what is known about a peptide.

Each review separates approval, results in people, safety, and the exact product studied.

Approved human outcomesTirzepatide

Some FDA-approved tirzepatide products have evidence for blood-sugar, weight, sleep-apnea, or heart-risk outcomes in specific groups of people. Each product's current label sets its uses and safety information.

Approved products have evidence from studies in people that measured health results for specific uses. This does not show that every product, person, or use has the same result.

Evidence: Established · Read the full review ↗Approved human outcomesSemaglutide

This review covers Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy, and the Wegovy HD strength. Their forms, approved uses, and labels differ.

Approved products have evidence from studies in people that measured health results for specific uses. This does not show that every product, person, or use has the same result.

Evidence: Established · Read the full review ↗Human pharmacology onlySermorelin

Studies in people show a growth-hormone response. They do not prove broad anti-aging or muscle-building benefits. Former Geref products are no longer sold.

Studies in people measured how the substance changed the body. This did not establish a health benefit on its own.

Evidence: Emerging · Read the full review ↗Approved human outcomesInsulin

Insulin is a family of diabetes medicines. Different products can have different timing, risks, and instructions.

Approved products have evidence from studies in people that measured health results for specific uses. This does not show that every product, person, or use has the same result.

Evidence: Established · Read the full review ↗Approved human outcomesLiraglutide

An established prescription medicine. Its evidence applies to specific products, uses, groups of people, and current labels.

Approved products have evidence from studies in people that measured health results for specific uses. This does not show that every product, person, or use has the same result.

Evidence: Established · Read the full review ↗Human pharmacology onlyCJC-1295

Short studies in healthy adults found that CJC-1295 raised growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). These hormone measurements do not prove better recovery, muscle gain, or fat loss.

Studies in people measured how the substance changed the body. This did not establish a health benefit on its own.

How this was checked

One claim in. A clearer answer out.

Every claim follows three steps. I use them for a trial report or a post online.

One answer covers one claim and one situation. A molecule, an approved product, and an online product may not have the same evidence.

How I check claims
The three-step evidence reviewThe review records the exact claim, finds the closest original source, and states what the evidence does and does not show.
  1. 1
    Write the exact claim

    Who, what product, which outcome, and for how long?

  2. 2
    Read the source

    Drug labels, trials, regulator records, and original studies.

  3. 3
    Set the limits

    What the evidence supports, what is early, and what is missing.

Start with a real question

You should not need the vocabulary first.

Begin with the claim you heard. Or use five short questions to find the closest evidence.
