Editorial Standards

Our Commitment to Accuracy

RankPeptide publishes health-related content about peptide compounds, many of which fall under YMYL (Your Money Your Life) guidelines. We take this responsibility seriously. Every piece of content published on RankPeptide adheres to the standards outlined below.

Evidence Requirements

Primary source citation. Every factual claim about a peptide's mechanism, efficacy, safety, or regulatory status must reference a specific peer-reviewed study, clinical trial result, or official regulatory document. Inline citations must link to PubMed, DOI, or the original source.

Evidence tier labeling. Every peptide compound discussed on RankPeptide is assigned an evidence tier:

• Tier 1 — FDA-Approved: Completed Phase III trials, FDA approval for at least one indication.
• Tier 2 — Clinical Data: Phase I or Phase II human trials completed, or extensive clinical use data.
• Tier 3 — Preclinical: Animal model data with mechanistic plausibility, but no completed human trials.
• Tier 4 — Early Research: Limited published data, primarily in-vitro or single-lab findings.

No unsupported claims. We do not state that a peptide "works" for a condition unless clinical trial data supports the claim. Animal study results are presented as "animal data suggests" — never as "this compound does X in humans" unless human data exists.

Medical Disclaimer Policy

Every article containing health-related content includes a prominently placed medical disclaimer. RankPeptide does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All content is for educational and research purposes.

Affiliate Disclosure Standards

RankPeptide earns affiliate commissions from supplier links. All affiliate links use rel="nofollow sponsored" HTML attributes. Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial content, rankings, or evidence grading. Suppliers cannot pay for higher rankings or favorable reviews.

Supplier Verification Process

Suppliers recommended on RankPeptide undergo verification: COA audit (batch-specific, third-party HPLC testing), order testing (periodic test orders), link monitoring (automated daily audits), and community review monitoring.

Content Review Process

1. Research: Content compiled from peer-reviewed literature and verified data sources
2. Drafting: Articles structured to separate established facts from emerging research
3. Citation verification: Every factual claim verified against its cited source
4. Disclaimer check: Medical disclaimers, affiliate disclosures, and evidence tier labels verified
5. Publication: Content published with schema markup for search engine transparency
6. Ongoing review: Published content reviewed when new evidence emerges

Corrections Policy

If we publish inaccurate information, we correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with a date and description of what changed. Contact us at [email protected].
