AOD-9604 is a synthetic fragment of human growth hormone engineered to isolate its fat-burning properties without the side effects of full HGH. Here's what the research actually shows — and where the evidence runs thin.
Tirzepatide vs Semaglutide: What the Clinical Trials Actually Show
The first head-to-head randomized trial comparing tirzepatide and semaglutide for weight loss is in. Here's what SURMOUNT-5 found — and what the full body of evidence tells us about how these two peptide therapies compare.
Are Peptides Safe? What the Research Actually Shows
Safety is the first question anyone should ask about peptides. Here's an honest, evidence-based look at what we know, what we don't know, and how to think about risk when evaluating peptide use.
Compounded Peptides and the 503A/503B Landscape in 2026
The regulatory framework governing compounded peptides is undergoing its most significant changes in a decade. Here's the authoritative breakdown of 503A vs. 503B, the PCAC July 2026 review, and what it means for practitioners and patients.
