Our Mission
Advancing peptide safety through citizen science and accessible, evidence-based information.
Why CalcPep Research Exists
The peptide research landscape is fragmented. Scientific studies are locked behind paywalls, community forums mix anecdote with evidence, and users are left to navigate a maze of conflicting information. Meanwhile, thousands of people are using peptides without access to reliable safety data.
CalcPep Research bridges this gap. By aggregating anonymized, opt-in data from CalcPep app users and combining it with systematic reviews of published research, we create a living resource that evolves with the field.
What We Do
- Curate Research: We review and summarize peer-reviewed studies, clearly distinguishing between human trials, animal studies, and in-vitro research.
- Aggregate Real-World Data: With explicit user consent, we collect anonymized outcome data from CalcPep app users to identify trends in effectiveness and side effects.
- Provide Tools: Our calculators and protocol builders help users dose accurately and track their experiences systematically.
- Enable Research: Qualified researchers can access our aggregated datasets to conduct their own analyses, accelerating the pace of peptide science.
Our Values
Safety First
Every piece of information we publish prioritizes user safety. We clearly label research limitations and always recommend professional medical guidance.
Evidence-Based
We distinguish between peer-reviewed research, preclinical studies, and community-reported outcomes. Transparency about evidence quality is paramount.
Community-Driven
Real-world data from thousands of CalcPep users helps identify patterns that clinical trials might miss, while maintaining strict privacy standards.
Accessible Knowledge
Complex research should be understandable. We translate scientific literature into plain language without sacrificing accuracy.
What We're Not
CalcPep Research is not a substitute for professional medical advice. We don't sell peptides, recommend specific vendors, or provide personalized treatment plans. Our role is to organize and present information — the decisions you make with that information should involve qualified healthcare providers.
Join the Mission
If you use the CalcPep app, you can contribute to peptide research simply by opting in to anonymous data sharing. Your experiences, combined with thousands of others, create patterns that can inform safer practices for everyone.
If you're a researcher interested in accessing our datasets or collaborating on studies, we'd love to hear from you.
