    Rates copper peptides for anti-aging as evidence-backed by 'phase 2 clinical trials' and cites a single still-recruiting trial "for Acute Skin Wound Healing'. I think the main purpose of this site is to provide plausible-sounding backing for snake oil.

    What determined the inclusion criteria?

    The first thing I looked for was insulin. I was surprised that it's not there, even though the bottom points out "Insulin administered to a human. First peptide drug."

    https://thepeptideguides.com/guides/fda-approved-peptides-li... says there are "over 80 FDA-approved peptide drugs as of 2026". Why aren't the other 50 here?

    The entry for BPC-157 at https://www.whatthepeptide.org/peptide/bpc-157 should really include the FDA information, like "Why Not FDA-Approved: No IND filed, no human clinical trials completed, synthetic origin (not endogenous)" and "banned from compounding".

    Yet the page says "Unverified Claims: No controlled human trials"?? How is this meant to be serious if literally the first peptide I looked at says what's listed at the FDA web site is "unverified".

    Entries to resources like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPC-157 would be helpful.

    The fact there's a "culture & context" section listing the Joe Rogan podcast makes me deeply suspicious that you are doing this for snake oil money.

    And ... yes it is. There are other similar resources like https://thepeptideguides.com/ and https://peptide-db.com/ . All 'For educational and research purposes only.', wink, wink.

    FYI your category picker under "Browse All Compounds" is broken. It goes off-screen.

      Thank you for letting me know! Fixed.
