Editorial Policy & Content Standards
At PeptideProbe, we are committed to providing accurate, evidence-based information about peptide therapy. Our editorial standards are designed to ensure every piece of content on our site is trustworthy, medically sound, and genuinely helpful to patients making healthcare decisions.
Our Mission
PeptideProbe exists to help patients find qualified peptide therapy providers and make informed decisions about their healthcare. We bridge the gap between complex medical research and the practical information patients need. We are not a medical provider, pharmaceutical company, or peptide vendor — we are an independent directory and educational resource.
Content Creation Standards
All medical and educational content on PeptideProbe is created following these principles:
- Evidence-based sourcing: We cite published clinical trials, peer-reviewed studies, FDA prescribing information, and recognized medical guidelines. Where evidence is limited, we clearly state this.
- Clinical trial references: For peptides with FDA approval (semaglutide, tirzepatide, bremelanotide, tesamorelin), we reference the specific pivotal trials (e.g., STEP, SURMOUNT, SURPASS) with published results.
- Balanced presentation: We present both benefits and risks of every therapy. We do not minimize side effects, exaggerate benefits, or make unsupported claims.
- FDA status transparency: Every peptide page clearly displays its regulatory status — FDA-approved, compounded, or research. We explain what these categories mean for patients.
- No promotional bias: Our educational content is not influenced by provider listings or advertising. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable editorial coverage.
Content Review Process
Our content undergoes a multi-step review process:
- Research & drafting: Content is researched using primary medical sources including PubMed, FDA.gov, ClinicalTrials.gov, and published prescribing information.
- Medical accuracy review: All clinical claims, dosing information, side effect profiles, and mechanism descriptions are verified against published literature.
- Regulatory compliance check: We verify that content complies with FDA advertising guidelines and does not make unapproved therapeutic claims.
- Ongoing updates: Content is reviewed periodically and updated when new clinical trial data, FDA decisions, or regulatory changes occur.
Provider Directory Standards
Provider listings in the PeptideProbe directory are held to the following standards:
- Verification: All provider applications are reviewed before publication. We verify that the practice exists, has a valid website, and has licensed practitioners.
- Accurate information: Provider listings must include accurate contact information, location, and services offered. Listings with inaccurate information are corrected or removed.
- No endorsement: Inclusion in our directory does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of any provider. We encourage patients to independently verify credentials and qualifications.
- Review moderation: Patient reviews are moderated before publication to prevent fake reviews, promotional content, and personal attacks. We do not edit the substance of genuine reviews.
Tools & Calculators Disclaimer
Our interactive tools (BMI calculator, cost estimator, weight loss projections, etc.) are based on published clinical trial data and population averages. They provide estimates for educational purposes only. Individual results vary significantly based on genetics, adherence, concurrent medications, lifestyle factors, and overall health. These tools do not replace a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
