PeptideX is an education site. It indexes 94 bioactive peptides with an evidence tier and an FDA status that cites a primary source, written so a reader can see what is known and what is not approved.
There are thousands of published papers on bioactive peptides — spread across PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, preprint servers, and proprietary databases. Evidence quality varies wildly. Regulatory status changes frequently. Community knowledge lives in forums.
Basic facts are scattered: Is there a human trial? What did FDA actually say about this substance, salt, or route? Which drug product, if any, is approved?
94 compounds indexed with structured, machine-readable profiles
Evidence scored by tier: Human RCT → Animal Only → Theoretical
Source-linked regulatory context for FDA 503A/503B substance contexts
Primary-source links for FDA status, trials, and public prices
Multiple randomized controlled trials in humans with consistent findings
At least one randomized controlled trial with human subjects
Robust animal data plus well-characterized mechanistic pathway
Evidence limited to preclinical animal studies only
Mechanism proposed but no controlled experimental validation
Previously in Category 2; FDA still identifies potential significant safety risks. Withdrawal does not establish approval, safety or compounding eligibility.
GHK-Cu: injectable nomination withdrawn; non-injectable 503A Category 1 under evaluation. Neither is approval.
503A and 503B classifications differ; Category 2 identifies safety risks and Category 3 indicates inadequate nomination information.
Exact identity or product-specific FDA approval is unsupported. No approval or eligibility inference.
