07 / Notes and sources

Notes and sources

  • Not technically a peptide. It is listed because it is often sold or discussed alongside peptides.
  • Animal only means effects and safety in humans are unknown, not that they are proven safe.
  • Products sold online as research peptides are unregulated. Tests of such products often find wrong amounts, impurities or a different compound.
  • Anyone using compounds like this regularly should have medical supervision and bloodwork (for example IGF-1, glucose and HbA1c, hormones, lipids).
  • Source: Peptide Reference Table, an editorial review of published research up to mid-2026. Scores are 1 to 10 editorial estimates, not measured values. Regulatory and WADA status change over time.
