How to use this site

Peptide Research Hub: a crowd-shaped research reference

This project is a research-first index for peptides, protocols, and related studies. Most of what you see is either seeded from primary literature or lightly structured contributions from the community: effect sliders, logs, anonymous side-effect tags, and upvotes on protocols and Q&A. Everything is framed as "what people report" or "what the papers say", not as dosing or treatment advice.

Use this page as a tour of each major section — peptides, protocols, research feed, calculators, and community inputs — with live, interactive previews so you can see how they fit together.

Peptides

Library pages for each peptide: research-centric summary, effect spider, logs, crowdsourced side-effect heatmaps, and Q&A.

Browse peptides

Protocols

Higher-level stacks and cycles: linked peptides, community tags on "where this is used", crowd-voted variants, and contextual notes.

Explore protocols

Research & calculators

A cross-peptide research feed with filters, plus a calculator for turning vials, dilutions, and dosing plans into numbers you can actually reason about.

2. Crowd-powered inputs: how your data shapes the library

Under the hood, most visuals on peptide and protocol pages are blends of model priors and community data. Seed scores from research and domain context give each peptide a starting profile; then sliders, votes, logs, tags, and Q&A from the crowd nudge those numbers and rankings over time. Nothing here is a prescription — it's a structured way to see what people report and how that lines up with the underlying evidence.

3. Effect votes & side-effect heatmaps

Peptide pages aggregate effect sliders and anonymous side-effect tags into visuals. Each vote is a small nudge on top of an AI-seeded baseline score, so early data doesn't swamp the prior but consistent patterns still rise to the top.

  1. Scan the small effect bars to see rough direction and magnitude for pain, sleep, and performance.
  2. Use these as qualitative "what people noticed" hints, not dose–response curves.
  3. Click through to the detailed logs and research links before you draw any conclusions.

Step 1: Read which outcome each bar tracks (pain, sleep, performance).

Step 2: Use bar length as a rough "how much people noticed" indicator, not a precise effect size.

Example: aggregated pain, sleep, and performance sliders from community logs.

2Preview of side-effect heatmap

Step 1: Treat each row as "how often this tag appears", not a probability of harm.

Step 2: Let the colors hint at direction (green vs red), then verify with primary safety data.

Example: anonymous side-effect / signal tags with rough percentages and tone labels.

32%Improved healing

6%Nausea

3. Logs & anonymous side-effect reports

Structured logs capture the story behind a protocol — goal, training level, age band, dose ranges, and relative changes — while side-effect forms let people quickly flag what they noticed without giving dosing instructions.

  1. Fill in only the context you're comfortable sharing; all logs are anonymized.
  2. Think in relative changes (-5 to +5) instead of precise performance metrics.
  3. Use notes to add nuance (training, confounders, other variables).
1Preview of structured log form

Step 1: Set goal, training level, and age band so others can understand your context.

Step 2: Add rough duration and dose to make your log comparable, without over-specifying.

What did you notice? (relative change, -5 to +5)
2Preview of side-effect report form

Step 1: Tag what you noticed in plain language (e.g. "nausea", "flushing").

Step 2: Keep notes neutral and avoid dosing instructions or diagnoses.

4. Protocol tags, variants, and stacking patterns

Protocol pages let the crowd annotate where a stack tends to show up and how it's structured. Admins define the tag vocabulary; users simply vote and suggest variants, which are then ranked by upvotes.

  1. Glance at tags to see where a protocol tends to "live" in practice.
  2. Browse variants to understand common stacks, cycles, and notes.
  3. Use upvotes as a rough popularity signal, not an endorsement.
1Preview of "where this is used" tags

Step 1: Scan which contexts (rehab, performance, general repair) users associate with the stack.

Step 2: Decide whether your situation truly matches those contexts before using the protocol as inspiration.

Example tag row for a protocol: users upvote tags that feel accurate.

2Preview of community variant table

Step 1: Read variant rows as "how people structure things", not as instructions.

Step 2: Use them as prompts for deeper research into mechanisms, safety, and alternatives.

5. Q&A, comments, ingestion & moderation

Question threads, comments, and ingestion pipelines turn the site into a living research notebook. The public can ask and annotate; admins keep it anchored to evidence.

  1. Use Q&A for focused, researchable questions (mechanisms, study design, protocol choices).
  2. Lean on comments for notes and citations, keeping claims evidence-linked.
  3. Trust that ingestion + moderation keep the visible feed tied to primary sources.
1Preview of Q&A thread

Step 1: Upvote questions that articulate what you're trying to understand.

Step 2: When answering, prioritize links to studies and protocols over anecdotes.

CuriousResearcher

How does this protocol compare to single-agent BPC-157 for tendon repair in terms of study density and effect size?

EvidenceNerd

Most formal data is on single agents; this stack mostly combines those patterns. See the linked PubMed entries and protocol notes for how people structure cycles and monitor outcomes.

2Preview of ingestion & moderation view

Step 1: Know that each ingested item is reviewed, tagged, and linked before it reaches the public feed.

Step 2: Treat the visible research feed as "approved snapshots" of a larger ingestion pipeline.

Admin-facing panel (conceptual): each row is an ingested item waiting for approval and tagging.

6. Peptide library (crowd-weighted effect overview)

The peptide index is where most people start. Each tile rolls up an AI-seeded effect profile plus community votes into a small radar chart and summary. When you click through to a peptide, you'll see research tags, logs, and side-effect stats specific to that molecule.

7. Research library (approved, linkable evidence)

The research feed is a curated, searchable index of ingested papers, database entries, and structured notes. Each row is linked back to a peptide, tagged by source (PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Reddit, news, vendor COAs), and often includes a short AI summary to help you triage what to read next.

Putting it together

A typical workflow: start in the peptide library to get oriented on a molecule's perceived effect profile, scan the research feed for primary evidence, then look at protocols and community logs to see how people structure their experiments. Use a calculator or other tooling you trust to sanity-check any numbers you see — always treating them as thought experiments to be weighed against formal literature and professional guidance.
