Editorial policy & disclosure.
Every publication that recommends products has a money story. Here is ours, in full, because a disclosure you have to hunt for is not a disclosure.
How this site is funded
Inside Your Peptides sells nothing directly — no store, no checkout, no products. The site may earn referral fees when readers follow links to vendors we cover and make purchases. This includes the next lab, a vendor that appears in our sourcing coverage and vendor audit. When a link can earn a fee, it carries a sponsored link attribute and the page carries a disclosure line.
What referral money can and cannot touch
- It cannot buy a grade. Vendor grades follow the documentation rubric published in the COA audit — six criteria, fixed weights, applied to documents anyone can open.
- It cannot buy coverage. Compounds are covered by reader interest and evidence significance, not by who sells them.
- It cannot soften a finding. Where a covered vendor's documentation has gaps, the coverage says so — you can read the grade deductions on the audit page right now.
- It can, obviously, create bias pressure. We are not going to pretend incentives don't exist — the defense is that our criteria are public, our claims cite checkable documents, and you are explicitly encouraged to verify rather than trust. Every skill we teach works without us.
Evidence standards
- Human trial data outranks animal data, animal data outranks mechanism, and mechanism outranks anecdote. Articles say which layer a claim sits on.
- Absence of evidence is reported as the finding it is. "No published human trials" appears in plain text where it is true, including for the market's most popular compounds.
- No invented numbers. Statistics carry sources. Where a commonly-repeated number has no citable anchor, we say so instead of printing it.
- Dosing content is descriptive, never prescriptive — it reports what published protocols used. Dosing pages carry no vendor links.
- Corrections are dated in place. Wrong things get fixed visibly, not silently.
What we will not publish
- Medical advice, individual protocols, or any instruction for human use of unapproved compounds.
- Sterility, safety, or efficacy claims that outrun the underlying documents.
- Paid placements presented as editorial. If a placement is ever paid, it will be labeled as an advertisement.
- Vendor grades we cannot back with documents we personally opened.
The legal frame
Everything on this site is published for research and educational purposes only. Nothing here is medical advice, and nothing here is an offer to sell any compound. The research compounds discussed are, with noted exceptions, not approved for human use by any regulator; the approved drugs discussed [semaglutide, tirzepatide, and others] should be obtained exactly one way — through a licensed clinician and pharmacy. Talk to a physician before any decision that touches your health. Seriously.
