Registered studies counted

3,186

Across every tracked compound, verified against the intervention named in each trial

Every tracked compound, and what the record says about it.Study counts include only trials whose registered intervention names the compound — the registry search is fuzzy, so every match is re-checked. FDA status means an approved product exists whose active ingredient is that compound. Neither is a statement about whether anything works or is safe.Every column is here — slide the table sideways to read the rest, or open it on a wider screen.

Latest reading

The research, read for you.

Sourced explainers on compounds, training, and protocol logistics. Every article is dated and review-stamped.

Free tools

The math, made visible.

Every calculator works instantly from values you enter. No login, no dose recommendation.

Reconstitution calculator

Calculate the relationship among a vial amount, liquid volume, and amount you enter.

Live math

Enter every value to see the calculation.

Unit safety: a U-100 mark is a volume scale (100 units = 1 mL), not a medication amount. FDA has reported medication errors when mg, mL, and syringe units were confused. Verify the intended amount, concentration, and exact device with the dispensing pharmacy or licensed clinician. Read the FDA notice.

Calculation only. Prominent display values are rounded to at most 2 decimals for U-100 units and cost, and 3 decimals for mL; calculation-value lines retain up to 8 decimals. Math uses unrounded values throughout. PepRack does not recommend a dose, schedule, injection method, or treatment.

Peptide basics

Some compounds here have no trials, no papers and almost no readers

The site tracks four independent things for each compound. A handful score close to zero on all of them, and are sold anyway.Reviewed 5 minRegulatory sources · 4 sourcesAOD-9604AdipotideFollistatin 344+1

The way around the swallowing problem was to stop using a peptide

Peptides are hard to swallow because of what they are. One solution was to build something that hits the same target and is not one.Reviewed 5 minRegulatory sources · 3 sourcesOrforglipronSemaglutideTirzepatide
Buying and sourcing

Research use only is a sentence about the seller, not the product

It is the most common phrase in this market and one of the most widely misread. It describes intent, not quality.Reviewed 5 minRegulatory sources · 3 sourcesBPC-157TB-500Epithalon
