Evidence, in context.

A curated starting point for exploring scientific publications and understanding what different kinds of evidence can — and cannot — tell us. This library links to public research records and publisher pages so readers can consult the original work.

01 / Reading the literature

Start with the evidence stage.

Study design matters. A result in cells or animals is not equivalent to a controlled human trial, and a clinical trial result does not automatically establish the quality or status of any separately supplied material.

Clinical literature

Human studies are available. Consider the trial phase, population, sample size, comparator, duration and whether findings have been replicated.

Preclinical literature

Evidence comes mainly from laboratory or animal models. These studies can explore mechanisms but cannot establish human benefit or safety.

Mechanistic literature

Research describes biological pathways or molecular activity. A plausible mechanism is not proof of a useful clinical outcome.

02 / Selected publications

Research & publications.

Selected public records across peptide science, metabolic research and cellular biology. Each reference opens its original PubMed record; availability of full text depends on the publisher or repository.

Clinical literatureMetabolic research

Tirzepatide — SURPASS-1

A phase 3 randomised clinical study evaluating tirzepatide in adults with type 2 diabetes. Read the trial design, outcomes and limitations in the original record.

Diabetes Care · 2021 · PMID 34186022View source ↗
Clinical literatureMetabolic research

Retatrutide — triple receptor agonism

A phase 2 study describing a triple-hormone-receptor agonist in adults with obesity. The paper is an investigational-molecule study, not evidence about any commercial material.

NEJM · 2023 · PMID 37366315View source ↗
Clinical literatureEndocrine research

Tesamorelin — visceral and liver fat

A randomised clinical study examining tesamorelin and changes in visceral adipose tissue and liver fat in a defined clinical population.

JAMA · 2014 · PMID 25038357View source ↗
Preclinical literatureCellular biology

GHK-Cu — fibroblast research

Laboratory research examining copper-peptide effects on fibroblast-related cellular processes. In-vitro findings should not be presented as established clinical outcomes.

Life Sciences · 2000 · PMID 11045606View source ↗
Preclinical literaturePeptide research

AHK-Cu — hair follicle models

An experimental study involving cultured dermal papilla cells and ex-vivo human hair follicles. Model-based findings require further clinical evaluation.

Arch Pharm Res · 2007 · PMID 17703734View source ↗
Preclinical literatureExperimental biology

BPC-157 — translational research

A starting point for reviewing the preclinical literature and the substantial gap between experimental models and well-established human clinical evidence.

Mechanistic literatureCellular biology

NAD+ — cellular redox biology

Research into NAD+ as a central redox cofactor and its role in cellular metabolism and NAD-dependent enzyme systems.

Cell Reports · 2019 · PMID 31412242View source ↗
Clinical literatureNeurology research

Cerebrolysin — acute stroke research

A large clinical study in acute ischaemic stroke. Review the primary paper and subsequent evidence assessments before drawing conclusions.

Research context is not product verification.

Scientific publications describe the specific compounds, formulations, populations and methods studied by their authors. They do not verify the identity, purity, sterility, concentration, regulatory status or suitability of any material offered by a separate supplier. This page is educational, not medical advice, and does not provide dosing, preparation or treatment instructions. Always consult qualified professionals and relevant UK regulatory information where appropriate.
