About Know Your Peptide
Know Your Peptide is a peer-reviewed peptide science and education platform built by credentialed researchers, biochemists, and board-certified physicians. Every profile is grounded in primary literature.
Our Mission
Peptide science is advancing rapidly — but reliable, accurately cited educational resources lag behind. Most information available online is either oversimplified, commercially motivated, or entirely uncited.
Know Your Peptide was built to fill that gap: a centralized, peer-reviewed reference for 167+ research peptides that provides transparent mechanisms of action, dosing data sourced directly from the literature, and honest summaries of side effect profiles — all with citations to primary studies.
Our content is produced exclusively for scientific education and legitimate research purposes. Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice or endorses human consumption of research chemicals.
How Our Content Is Created
Every profile and article on Know Your Peptide follows a four-stage evidence review process before publication.
Primary Literature Review
Every profile begins with a systematic review of PubMed-indexed studies, clinical trial registries, and peer-reviewed pharmacology journals. We only use primary sources — no tertiary summaries.
Expert Drafting
Our credentialed science writers synthesize the evidence base into accessible language, preserving scientific accuracy. Mechanistic claims are cited directly to the source study.
Medical Review
All content is reviewed by at least one PhD-level researcher and, for profiles with clinical safety considerations, by our MD medical advisor before publication.
Ongoing Updates
Profiles are flagged for review when new studies publish. Our research team monitors NCBI PubMed alerts and updates content to reflect the current evidence base.
Our Editorial Team
All profiles are authored and reviewed by credentialed researchers and physicians with domain expertise in peptide biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical medicine.
Dr. James T. Walker, PhD
Research Director & Co-Founder
PhD, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Dr. Walker holds a doctorate in biochemistry and has spent 15+ years studying peptide signaling pathways. He has contributed to preclinical research on growth hormone secretagogues and healing peptides, and oversees all scientific content on KnowYourPeptide.
Dr. Amanda Reid, MD
Medical Advisor & Chief Reviewer
MD, Internal Medicine (Board Certified)
Dr. Reid is a board-certified internist with a clinical focus on metabolic health and performance medicine. She reviews all peptide profiles and blog articles for clinical accuracy, safety considerations, and regulatory compliance.
Dr. Chen Wei, PhD
Senior Research Scientist
PhD, Molecular Biology & Pharmacology
Dr. Wei's research background spans neuroendocrinology, cognitive peptides, and receptor pharmacology. He leads the research literature review process and ensures all citation data reflects the current state of primary sources.
Sarah Malone, MS
Lead Science Writer
MS, Biomedical Sciences; Certified Medical Writer (AMWA)
Sarah holds a master's degree in biomedical sciences and is a certified medical writer with the American Medical Writers Association. She translates complex primary literature into accessible, accurate educational content reviewed by the team before publication.
Our Commitments
Primary Sources Only
All mechanistic claims and dosing data cite peer-reviewed studies from PubMed-indexed journals. No uncited assertions.
Medical Review
All clinical content is reviewed by our MD medical advisor for safety accuracy and appropriate disclaimers before publication.
No Commercial Conflicts
Know Your Peptide does not sell peptides or promote specific vendors. Our profiles are commercially neutral educational resources.
Our Source Standards
Know Your Peptide content draws from the following primary source categories, in descending order of preference:
- Peer-reviewed research articles indexed on PubMed / MEDLINE
- Registered clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses from Cochrane Library
- Published pharmacology and biochemistry textbooks
- FDA / EMA drug approval documents where applicable
Contact & Corrections
If you find a factual error, outdated citation, or have a correction request, we take accuracy seriously and will review and update content promptly.
