The PepFinder editorial team
What the team does
The editorial team writes and maintains the guides, the peptide pages and the news. Not everything on a supplier profile is read by a person first: what a store states on its own website is published as read, other facts read automatically are published only when they pass their checks (otherwise they wait for an editor), and a certificate the laboratory's own record confirms goes live without a person reviewing it. Customer reviews are moderated under the review policy. Guides are written from the primary literature and regulators' own publications, with the references listed on each page; peptide pages carry the trial results and regulatory status with citations, and are updated when a regulator or a journal publishes something new.
How a page is checked
- Every factual claim about a supplier links to the evidence for it: the page on the supplier's own site, the registry record, or the document it came from. The methodology sets out what counts as evidence.
- Prices are read from suppliers' own catalogues and validated by rule before they appear; a figure that fails the checks is held, never guessed.
- Guides and peptide pages show the date they were last updated.
- Corrections come in through the contact page and from suppliers through their dashboards; each one is logged and answered.
Independent review
No page on PepFinder has yet been reviewed by a named, independent expert, so each guide and peptide page says “Not yet independently reviewed”. When a qualified reviewer has read a page against its sources, that page will name them, their credentials and the date of the review.
What the team will not write
PepFinder gives no guidance on taking peptides: no protocols, no dosing advice, and no claims that a research compound treats anything. Research peptides are not licensed medicines. Where a page describes a dose, it is a published trial's figure with its citation, not a recommendation.
Independence and pay
The team is paid by PepFinder, which earns money as described here: never from a supplier for a rating, a review, a ranking or a line in a guide. Suppliers cannot see or change a page before it goes live. The independence rules apply to every page on the site.
