About Truth In Peptides
Our Mission
Truth In Peptides exists to provide rigorously sourced, evidence-based information about therapeutic peptides. We believe patients, providers, and the public deserve access to transparent, plain-English content free from the marketing hype and misinformation that dominates the peptide space.
Truth In Peptides is a publication, not a clinic or pharmacy. We do not prescribe, sell, or dispense peptides, and nothing on this site constitutes medical advice or a recommendation to use any specific product or protocol. As explained in the Disclosures section below, this publication is operated by the same team that runs Onyx & Opal Health, a telehealth practice; please read that disclosure before relying on anything here.
Editorial Standards
Every claim on this site is tagged with its evidence level, from peer-reviewed research to anecdotal reports. We use a four-tier evidence rating system to help readers assess the strength of the science behind each assertion.
- Peer-Reviewed: Supported by published, peer-reviewed studies in reputable journals.
- Clinical Data: Backed by clinical trials or formal medical data, though may be limited in scope.
- Emerging: Supported by preliminary research, animal studies, or early-phase trials that show promise but require further validation.
- Anecdotal: Based on user reports or community observations without formal research backing.
Disclosures & Affiliations
Material connection: Truth In Peptides is published by the same team that operates Onyx & Opal Health, a telehealth practice offering hormone optimization and peptide therapy. Readers should assume our parent company may benefit commercially from increased awareness and understanding of peptide therapy generally, and we disclose this relationship on every page where an Onyx & Opal listing or link appears.
Within that context, we commit to the following standards: we do not accept sponsored content, we do not accept affiliate commissions from product sellers, we do not accept payments from other clinics or pharmacies in exchange for coverage or directory placement, and we do not allow Onyx & Opal's commercial interests to dictate which compounds we cover or how we evaluate evidence. Editorial decisions are made by the TIP editorial team using the standards described above.
If we ever enter into additional financial relationships that could be perceived as conflicts of interest, they will be disclosed on every affected page in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).
