About Peptigrade

An honest reference,
on purpose.

Peptigrade exists because the existing peptide information landscape — vendor copy, influencer takes, anonymous research forums — has no incentive to be honest. We do, because the only thing we sell is the grade.

§ The mission

What we’re trying
to do.

Be the source that any clinician, researcher, or careful layperson can land on and get an honest answer about what is actually known — and not known — about every peptide in the published literature.

Aggregate the evidence. Translate it. Grade it. Cite every claim. Update it when the evidence updates. Refuse the money that would compromise any of those steps.

We are explicitly not trying to be neutral about quality. A good study is treated as better than a bad one. A peptide with replicated human evidence is treated as better-supported than one with single-lab animal evidence. Calling that out is the entire job.
