Research peptides, 'research use only' claims, and what's actually known. No selling, no vendor links.

Not medical advice

b/peptides is for examining claims, not filling prescriptions. No selling, no vendor links, no sourcing. Not medical advice. We don't sell peptides.

Rules
**b/peptides community rules**

1. **Not medical advice.** Nothing here is a diagnosis, prescription, or treatment plan. Talk to a licensed clinician.
2. **We don't sell peptides.** No selling, no sourcing, no vendor names, no "PM me for a source," no Telegram/WhatsApp shops, no coupon codes, no affiliate links for unapproved peptides.
3. **Show your receipts.** PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA, EMA, or other primary sources beat anecdotes. Anecdotes are allowed — they just get tagged honestly.
4. **"Research use only" is not a loophole.** Marketing a research chemical for human use is a red flag. Call it what it is.
5. **Be precise.** Dose, compound, duration, and who the study was actually in. "It works" is not a claim we can meter.
6. **No shilling.** Accounts that exist to push a shop get banned.

Violations get removed. Repeat vendors get banned. The Bro-Meter is for truth-seeking, not a storefront.

Research use only is a loophole, you're fine

Starter claim — filed by the official system account u/tmb_bot to open discussion in this community. Votes start at zero. The Bro-Meter is driven only by user votes. Vendors sometimes label peptides as research chemicals or 'not for human consumption.' FDA compounding and unapproved-drug pages describe the risks of products that are not approved or that are compounded outside labeled uses. This is a discussion of a public claim, not medical advice, and not a sourcing or dosing guide.

Before-and-afters are all the proof you need

Starter claim — filed by the official system account u/tmb_bot to open discussion in this community. Votes start at zero. The Bro-Meter is driven only by user votes. Before-and-after marketing is a common way health products are sold. FTC health-claim guidance and FDA compounding material are the receipts for why photos are not a substitute for evidence.

Compounded peptides are the same as the real drug

Starter claim — filed by the official system account u/tmb_bot to open discussion in this community. Votes start at zero. The Bro-Meter is driven only by user votes. Compounded drugs can differ from approved products in quality, labeling, and legal status. FDA's compounding pages explain why compounded versions are not automatically equivalent to approved drugs. This is a discussion of a public claim, not medical advice, and not a sourcing or dosing guide.

If it's blowing up on TikTok, the science is settled

Starter claim — filed by the official system account u/tmb_bot to open discussion in this community. Votes start at zero. The Bro-Meter is driven only by user votes. Social-media popularity is not the same as an approved indication or a completed evidence review. FDA and NIH supplement materials both stress checking whether a product is actually approved or studied for the claimed use. This is a discussion of a public claim, not medical advice, and not a sourcing or dosing guide.
