About Peak

A plain-English guide to peptides.

What peptides are, what the research does and doesn’t show, and how the prescription route works, for people deciding what to do next.

What Peak is

Peak explains peptides the way a good guidebook explains a mountain: what is there, what the terrain is really like, and which route is marked.

Peak covers compound identity, research limitations, FDA status and prescriptions. Cell and animal findings do not establish treatment benefits in people, and a compounded preparation is not FDA-approved.

The peptide library separates what a compound is from what a study measured and from its current regulatory status.

Reading this guide

  • Identity. A molecule’s name and chemical class do not establish a treatment benefit.
  • Research limits. A study in cells or animals does not establish a treatment benefit in people.
  • Population and product. Evidence for one population or an approved finished product does not automatically apply to another population or to a compounded preparation.
  • Regulatory status. Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, even when a separate approved product exists.
