IN PLAIN ENGLISHBPC-157 may support the body’s natural repair processes, which helps explain why the community is so interested in it for injuries, inflammation and recovery.
The Peptide Index
Don't start with popularity. Start with what we actually know. Compare human evidence, community attention, regulatory status and the distance between the story people tell and the evidence that exists.
Track the community.
Separate signal from hype.
Every profile uses the same editorial framework so radically different compounds can be evaluated on the same page without pretending the evidence is equivalent.
Eighteen flagship profiles.
Flagship profiles provide a consistent evidence review, community context, regulatory status and an In Plain English translation.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHRetatrutide targets three metabolic hormone pathways and has produced substantial weight loss in human clinical trials.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHTirzepatide works on two appetite and metabolic pathways, helping many people dramatically reduce hunger while improving blood-sugar control and driving substantial weight loss.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHGlutathione is one of the body’s primary antioxidant-defense molecules, helping cells manage oxidative stress and maintain normal detoxification and repair processes.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHTesamorelin stimulates your body’s own growth-hormone pathway and has been shown in humans to reduce visceral abdominal fat in a specific clinical population.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHMOTS-c may help your body manage and use energy more efficiently, especially during metabolic stress such as exercise.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHKPV appears to calm inflammatory signaling, which is why it’s gaining attention for gut health and broader inflammation.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHSS-31 targets mitochondria to help them produce energy more efficiently, an approach now validated for one rare mitochondrial disease.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHTB-500 is used in the community to support healing, mobility and recovery, based largely on promising repair biology related to thymosin beta-4.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHGHK-Cu supports collagen and tissue-remodeling biology, making it especially interesting for skin, hair, wound healing and recovery.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHSelank has shown a human signal for reducing anxiety and is increasingly used by the community to support a calmer, more focused mental state.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHCJC-1295 stimulates your body to release more of its own growth hormone and IGF-1, which is why it has become popular for recovery, body composition and performance.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHIpamorelin signals your body to release more of its own growth hormone, which is why it has become popular for recovery, body composition, sleep and performance.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHSermorelin signals your pituitary to release more of your own growth hormone, which is why it has become popular for sleep, recovery, body composition and healthy-aging goals.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHEpitalon is being studied for its effects on cellular aging signals—including telomerase and telomeres—which is why it has become one of the most talked-about peptides in longevity circles.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHCibinetide is designed to switch on the body’s tissue-protection and repair signaling without the blood-building effects of erythropoietin, making it especially interesting for nerve damage, neuropathic symptoms and inflammation.
IN PLAIN ENGLISHNAD+ is essential to cellular energy biology. Human trials of NAD+ precursors exist, but evidence for direct NAD+ treatment improving longevity or performance remains limited.
IN PLAIN ENGLISH5-Amino-1MQ blocks an enzyme called NNMT; early laboratory and animal findings suggest metabolic effects, but fat-loss benefits in humans have not been established.
When compounds become combinations.
Blends get their own evidence treatment. We separate what is known about each component from what has actually been demonstrated about the finished combination.
Wolverine
Two of the community’s most popular recovery peptides. One combination whose reputation has developed much faster than its direct evidence.
GLOW
Recovery meets tissue remodeling and skin biology. Three compelling component stories—without direct evidence that the blend itself delivers the combined promise.
Blend rule: evidence for individual ingredients does not automatically become evidence for the combination. Blend profiles track component evidence, combination evidence and Community Signal separately.

Explore the wider library of compounds and community blends. The eighteen flagship profiles above are our deepest evidence reviews.
Evidence maturity, not a leaderboard.
A five-dot Human Evidence score does not mean “better peptide.” It means the compound has a deeper human evidence base for at least one defined use.
What stands out right now.
BPC-157
Recovery culture has built a remarkably confident story around a compound with only tiny, uncontrolled human datasets.
Retatrutide
Powerful late-stage clinical evidence is colliding with an unapproved online market. Trial efficacy and product legitimacy are separate questions.
TB-500
Related molecules cannot simply inherit one another's clinical evidence. TB-500 and full-length thymosin beta-4 make that distinction unusually clear.
SS-31 / Elamipretide
One of the rare peptide stories to cross from experimental research into an FDA-approved medicine—while retaining a much broader biohacking reputation.
The compound isn't the question. The outcome is.
The Peptide Index is one way into the science. Outcome Hubs reverse the lens: begin with recovery, metabolic health, cognition, gut health or longevity, then ask which interventions actually have evidence.
