Most peptide lists online give you a dose and a benefit and stop there.

The part they leave out is who the trial enrolled, and that is the part that decides whether the number means anything for you.

Tesamorelin is the clean example.

The 2 mg a day figure everyone quotes comes from trials in people with HIV-associated lipodystrophy, which is fat gain caused by HIV medication.

That is the only group it has ever been studied in.

Nobody has run the trial on a healthy 40 year old, so nobody knows what it does there.

Same story with MOTS-c, where almost everything we have is mouse data, and the one human trial never published its dose.

Tesamorelin 2 mg/day: studied in HIV-associated lipodystrophy, not studied in healthy adults

So we built the sheet we wanted to exist.

The Peptide Cheat Sheet

25 peptides on one page. For each one:

  • What it was studied for

  • The range the studies used

  • How long it stays active in the body

  • Who the trial enrolled

  • The paper it came from

Rows where the data is animal-only, from a tiny pilot, or from one restricted group are flagged in color so you can see it at a glance.

Save it to your phone. Next time someone on Reddit tells you a compound "does X," you can check who it was tested on in ten seconds.

Two notes on reading it. "Studied range" is what the trial used, not a recommendation. And the population flag matters more than the dose column. A result in one group is not a promise for you.

P.S. 23 of the 25 are stocked at American Peptide Research (US) and Great North Bio (Canada). Links are at the bottom of the sheet. The Biohacker Network is an affiliate of both and may earn a commission. Research reference, not medical advice.
