The Peptide Addict publishes under seven non-negotiable principles. Every article is edited against them before publication. Any breach is grounds for correction or retraction.
1. Evidence first
Human outcomes outrank mechanisms, animal studies, anecdotes, and marketing. When the evidence is thin, we say so clearly. When a claim rests on preclinical work alone, we flag it explicitly.
2. Disclose uncertainty
If a compound’s safety profile, long-term effects, or regulatory status is uncertain, we state that directly. We don’t manufacture confidence we don’t have.
3. Separate editorial from monetization
Ratings, judgments, and vendor scores cannot be altered by affiliate relationships. No vendor can buy a better rating. No sponsor can change a verdict. Editorial independence is the whole product.
4. No hidden agendas
Any affiliate relationship, sponsorship, or commercial connection is disclosed in plain English on the page it affects. Disclosures are not buried in footers or fine print.
5. Community reports are leads, not proof
Reddit threads, forum posts, and social media discussions can inspire reporting. They never settle a claim. A compound’s popularity in a subreddit is not evidence that it works.
6. Regulatory reality matters
Every article with a compound recommendation or analysis acknowledges the legal and access context where relevant. We don’t write as if regulatory status is someone else’s problem.
7. Trust compounds slower than traffic
We would rather be right slowly than wrong quickly. We will not publish content designed to chase trends, exploit search intent, or capitalize on panic. Credibility is the only asset that matters.
What we don’t publish
The Peptide Addict will not publish:
- Reckless underground dosing guides
- “Where to buy cheap peptides” bait content
- Sensational claims unsupported by evidence
- Direct sourcing help (in DMs or in articles)
- Disguised vendor advertorials
- Fake certainty around gray areas
- Personalized medical advice
- Instructions that meaningfully lower the barrier to unsafe or unlawful activity
Affiliate disclosure
As of launch, The Peptide Addict has zero affiliate relationships. No article on this site contains an affiliate link. If and when affiliate partnerships are introduced, they will be:
- Disclosed on the page where they appear
- Disclosed in plain English, not buried in fine print
- Prohibited from influencing editorial ratings
- Monitored for conflict-of-interest drift
Any paid partnership or sponsored content will be labeled as such at the top of the article and marked clearly in the URL.
Corrections
Errors happen. When they do, we correct them publicly. Each correction is dated, explains what was wrong, and what the updated position is. We do not silently edit articles after publication to hide mistakes.
Not medical advice
Nothing on this site is medical advice. The Peptide Addict is an editorial publication, not a medical practice. No peptide discussed on this site is endorsed, prescribed, or sold by The Peptide Addict. Consult a licensed clinician before making any decision about compounds, drugs, or medical treatment.
