Policy

Research-use-only.

Effective2026-07-02

Every peptide covered on PeptideRadar is discussed strictly as a research chemical. "Research use only" (RUO) is a legal framing with real consequences, and all of our content is written inside it.

What "research use only" means

RUO compounds are sold and discussed for laboratory research, not for human or veterinary use. They are not drugs, not supplements, and not approved for the diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any condition. A compound being available from a research-chemical vendor is not a statement that it is safe, effective, or legal to administer to a person.

How PeptideRadar applies it

We do not publish human-use protocols, dosing recommendations for people, cycle guidance, or any instruction intended to help someone administer a peptide to themselves or others. Where we show reconstitution math or vendor sourcing criteria, it is presented for research handling and quality evaluation — not as a how-to for human consumption. We describe what the peer-reviewed literature reports, and we are explicit about the gap between animal data and human evidence.

Your responsibility

Laws governing research peptides vary by country and jurisdiction and change over time. Nothing on this site is legal, medical, or professional advice. If you work with these compounds, you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws and institutional requirements.
