# A Reading Room, Not a Home Lab

> About Home Peptides — A Reading Room, Not a Home Lab — Home Peptides is an independent literature digest — a home reading room for peptide science, not a source of at-home protocols, dosing instructions, or products. Here's how the site is built and what "home" means.

**ABOUT THIS SITE**

What "home" means here, how this site reads the literature, and what it deliberately does not do.

## What we are

Home Peptides is an independent literature digest covering four research peptides: BPC-157, NAD+, PT-141, and GHK-Cu. We are not a clinic, not a pharmacy, not a supplement store, and not a source of protocols. We do not sell anything, prescribe anything, or tell anyone what to take or how much of it. What we do is read the published research — clinical trials, mechanistic studies, regulatory filings, and narrative reviews — and summarize it in plain language, with every quantitative claim traced back to a numbered citation on our [references](/references) page.

## "Home," in our name, means a reading room

The name Home Peptides refers to a home reading room — a bookshelf, not a bench. It is meant to describe the kind of quiet, careful reading a curious reader might do at a desk at home, working through what the science actually says, not a home laboratory or a set of at-home protocols. We deliberately do not describe self-administration, home compounding, injection technique, or any at-home use of any compound on this site. Where research communities report using a compound and describe an effect, we label that report **anecdotal, not clinical evidence** and never attach a dose to it. This is not a how-to guide for using any of these compounds at home, and we do not intend for it to become one.

## How we read the literature

Each compound page on this site follows the same structure: a plain-English summary for readers with no scientific background, followed by sections on mechanism, published findings, and safety cautions, each cited by number. We distinguish carefully between three kinds of evidence that often get blurred online — controlled human trials, animal or laboratory studies, and community-reported anecdote — and we never let the third stand in for the first two. Where a compound's regulatory status is relevant (approved drug, dietary supplement, cosmetic ingredient, or unapproved research chemical), we say so explicitly, because that status changes how much weight a claim should carry.

## Editorial stance

We do not offer medical advice, and nothing on this site should be read as a recommendation to use, take, or apply any compound at any dose. Where a study reports a dose, we report it exactly as the study used it — as a fact about that trial, never as guidance for a reader. We do not sell products, do not link to vendors, and do not accept compensation tied to any compound discussed here. Our goal is a disciplined, accurate account of what the published evidence actually says about each compound, so a reader can calibrate their own understanding of the science rather than absorb someone else's conclusion.

Home Peptides is a reading room, not a laboratory or a clinic — every page here is meant to be read, checked against its citations, and questioned, never followed as an at-home instruction.
