About two weeks ago I posted here about a free reference catalog I'd been building for peptides and compounds. The post got a really warm reception, and the feedback from this community (especially around the value of visualizing how much research exists per compound) directly shaped where things went next.
Here's what's been built since:
The catalog grew from 14 → 30 compounds across 10 categories — everything from GLP-1s and growth hormone peptides to nootropics, longevity compounds, and immune peptides. Each profile still has the same structure: mechanism of action, evidence grade, use cases, risks, regulatory status, CAS number, and primary literature citations. No vendor links, no affiliate content.
Research Quality Score (RQS) — this is the piece I'm most excited about. Instead of just labeling something "Human RCT" or "Animal Only," each compound now gets scored across 7 dimensions: study design, sample size, replication, journal impact factor, funding independence, population diversity, and lead researcher h-index. Scores are out of 100 with labeled bands (Strong / Moderate / Limited / Weak / Insufficient). All 30 compounds are fully scored. The goal is to show not just what the research says but how much weight to give it.
Stacks page — curated compound combinations (Wolverine, KLOW, GLOW) with each component linking to its full profile.
The Honest Dose — a weekly newsletter that goes deeper on one compound per issue, stress-tests a mainstream health claim against the evidence, and features the RQS in context. First issue covered Retatrutide. Free to subscribe at peptideclear.com.

One thing I've gotten clearer on since the original post: PeptideClear is probably most useful as a starting point, for people who are peptide-curious and want a grounded reference before diving in, like I was when I started building this. But honestly the profiles, the RQS breakdown, and the literature citations are just as relevant if you're already deep in the space and want a second opinion on the evidence behind something you're running or considering.
Would love to hear from this community. Are there compounds you'd want to see added? Anything in the RQS methodology you'd push back on? And if you've already been to the site, what would make it more useful for you? This community shaped the first version and I'd love for it to shape the next one too.
Site is peptideclear.com — free, always.

Been frustrated by how hard it is to find clean, sourced information on peptides without wading through vendor sites or anecdote-heavy threads. Built PeptideClear as a free reference, 25 compounds cataloged with evidence grades (Human RCT vs Observational vs In Vitro vs Animal Only), mechanism summaries, and PubMed links for everything.

No sourcing, no vendors, no affiliate links. Just the research.

Would genuinely value feedback from this community on accuracy, what’s missing, and what compounds you’d want to see added next. Happy to be challenged on anything in the catalog.

I’m relatively new to the research compound space and kept running into the same problem, most of the information out there is either too surface level or buried in dense research that’s hard to parse without a scientific background.
So I started reading the actual studies myself and built a free reference catalog called PeptideClear (peptideclear.com) covering 19 compounds including Retatrutide, BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, KPV, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, and others.
Each profile includes:
— Mechanism of action
— Evidence grade (Human RCT, Animal Only, Observational, etc.)
— Risks and contraindications
— Regulatory status
— Primary literature citations with PubMed links
— CAS number for precise identification
No vendor links. No sourcing. No affiliate content. Purely a research reference tool built to make the actual science more accessible.

I also recently added a Stacks page covering the Wolverine, GLOW, KLOW, CJC + IPA combinations — what each contains and what the individual components actually do, without any protocol or dosing claims.
Open to feedback on compounds to add, errors to correct, or research I may have missed. Citations and corrections especially welcome per the spirit of this community.

I've spent the last several weeks building PeptideClear (peptideclear.com) — a free reference catalog covering 14 major peptides and adjacent compounds.

Each compound profile includes:

— Mechanism of action
— Evidence grade (Human RCT, Animal Only, Observational, etc.)
— Risks, contraindications, and safety considerations
— Regulatory status
— Available forms
— Primary literature citations
— CAS number for precise identification

Compounds currently covered: Creatine, Turkesterone, Ibutamoren (MK-677), Retatrutide, GLP-1, Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, TB-500 (Thymosin β4, CAS 77591-33-4), Carnosine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, GHK-Cu, Collagen Type I, Collagen Type III, and BPC-157.

No vendor links. No sourcing. No affiliate content. Purely a research reference tool.

As someone still learning this space I'd genuinely love feedback from this community on compounds to add, errors to correct, or research I may have missed. You all know this space better than most and any input would go directly into improving the resource.
