Peptide Database

36 peptides ranked by an independent trust score derived from clinical-trial volume, FDA status, adverse-event signals, and clinical adoption. No editorial discretion in the score itself — only the data that goes in.

How to read this list

Trust scores aggregate four signals. Research evidence weights the strongest — Phase 3 trials and peer-reviewed publications outweigh in-vitro data. Regulatory status is the second weight: an FDA-approved indication anchors a peptide above the speculative tier. Safety signals (FDA FAERS adverse events normalized for prescription volume) and clinical adoption fill in the rest.

Two peptides with the same score can have very different shapes. Semaglutide scores high on FDA approval and clinical trials. BPC-157 scores on emerging research volume but has no FDA pathway and no human Phase 3 data. The score reflects evidence, not legality or accessibility.

Filter by evidence tier to surface what matters to you. Marketers tend to lump everything together; the tier filter separates what the FDA has reviewed from what is still preclinical or unstudied. If a peptide you've heard about isn't on this list, it's likely below the threshold of any published trial — that is itself a signal.

Frequently asked questions

How is the trust score calculated?
Each peptide is scored 0–100 across four pillars: research evidence (clinical trials, peer-reviewed papers), regulatory status (FDA approval, scheduling), safety signals (FDA FAERS adverse event reports), and clinical adoption. Scores are recalculated when new trials publish or FDA status changes — there is no editorial discretion in the underlying ranking.
What does each evidence tier mean?
FDA Approved: peptide has a current FDA-approved indication for a specific use. Strong Clinical Evidence: multiple Phase 3 trials and peer-reviewed publications, but not FDA-approved for the use case in question. Emerging Research: Phase 1–2 trials, encouraging but not yet definitive. Preclinical Only: animal or in-vitro data, no human trials. Insufficient Data: little or no published research on humans.
Why are some peptides without FDA approval still listed?
Many peptides circulate in research-chemical and clinic markets without FDA approval. CheckPeptides documents what is being sold and what the underlying evidence actually supports — including peptides where the marketing exceeds the science. The trust score reflects that gap.
How often is the data updated?
ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA FAERS, and PubMed are pulled weekly. Vendor and clinic data refreshes monthly. Each peptide page shows its individual last-verified date.
Is CheckPeptides medical advice?
No. CheckPeptides is a research-aggregation directory. Peptides may be illegal, restricted, or unsafe in your jurisdiction. Consult a licensed clinician before using any peptide. See the Medical Disclaimer in the footer.

Methodology

Peptide records are constructed from public sources: ClinicalTrials.gov for trial counts and phases, FDA Drugs@FDA for approval status, FAERS for adverse-event reporting, and PubMed for peer-reviewed publication counts.

Vendor and clinic listings are independent. CheckPeptides earns commission on some vendor links — these never affect trust scores. See the affiliate disclosure for details.
