R-005
Epitalon and telomeres: separating the signal from the noise in longevity peptide research
What the published Epitalon record can support, where methodology limits interpretation and why independent replication matters.
R-006
Five years of peptide patents: what the filings reveal about the next wave of research compounds
A five-year map of peptide patent activity, treated as a signal of research investment rather than evidence of efficacy.
R-001
Why we built The Compound Index — and what we committed to when we did
The editorial rationale behind the Index, our evidence framework and the boundary we maintain between research and commerce.
R-003
UK peptide regulation in 2024: what RUO actually means, and where the legal boundaries sit
A dated overview of research-use-only supply in the UK and why labelling alone does not determine legal compliance.
R-004
The GLP-1 landscape beyond semaglutide: dual and triple agonists in the research pipeline
A mechanism-by-mechanism view of dual and triple agonists, with attention to trial maturity and the limits of cross-compound comparison.
R-002
BPC-157 and the evidence gap: what 30 years of pre-clinical data does — and doesn’t — tell us
A structured review of the BPC-157 evidence record, from repeated pre-clinical findings to the absence of a robust human clinical evidence base.
