Content policy

AminoCatalog exists to provide clear, structured, citation-aware information about peptides and related research compounds, while also helping users evaluate vendors through transparent listings and reviews.

Because AminoCatalog covers compounds that may be investigational, unapproved, restricted, prescription-only, prohibited, or otherwise regulated, our content standards are stricter than a general discussion forum. The goal is to support education, transparency, vendor accountability, and review integrity without encouraging unlawful use, unsafe use, medical self-treatment, or misleading marketing.

AminoCatalog is an informational platform, peptide encyclopedia, vendor directory, and review platform. AminoCatalog is not a healthcare provider, pharmacy, telehealth provider, laboratory, manufacturer, distributor, broker, reseller, importer, exporter, or marketplace for peptides, research chemicals, drugs, biologics, supplements, or related compounds.

Content on AminoCatalog is for general informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, health advice, legal advice, veterinary advice, prescribing guidance, dosing guidance, or a substitute for consultation with qualified professionals.

Unless a compound is lawfully approved, labeled, prescribed, dispensed, and used through proper channels, compounds discussed or listed on AminoCatalog should be treated as research chemicals not for human or animal consumption.

This policy applies to the following content categories.

All content on AminoCatalog should follow these principles:

1. Be accurate, clear, and not misleading.
2. Distinguish established research from early-stage, speculative, anecdotal, or commercially motivated claims.
3. Avoid hype, exaggerated certainty, or unsupported safety and efficacy claims.
4. Avoid implying that research chemicals are appropriate for human or animal use.
5. Avoid personal medical, dosing, injection, or treatment instructions.
6. Respect user privacy and vendor accountability.
7. Disclose conflicts of interest, incentives, sponsorships, affiliations, and relevant commercial relationships.
8. Avoid review manipulation, fake engagement, deceptive comparisons, and undisclosed promotions.
9. Comply with applicable laws, regulations, advertising standards, and platform rules.

AminoCatalog-created educational content should be written in plain language and should be honest about uncertainty. Where possible, editorial content should rely on credible sources, including peer-reviewed research, regulatory materials, textbooks, scientific databases, official guidance, or other reliable references, with inline citations or linked references so readers can verify claims.

Editorial content may summarize:

1. What a peptide or compound is.
2. Mechanisms discussed in research literature.
3. Areas of active research.
4. Reported effects in studies.
5. Known limitations of the evidence.
6. Known or reported risks and adverse effects.
7. Storage, stability, and handling concepts at a general informational level.
8. Related compounds.
9. Regulatory or approval status when known.
10. Gaps, disputes, or uncertainty in the available evidence.

Editorial content must not:

1. Present research chemicals as approved, safe, effective, or appropriate for human or animal use when that is not legally and scientifically supported.
2. Provide individualized medical advice.
3. Tell users what to take, buy, inject, combine, cycle, or dose.
4. Provide personal treatment plans.
5. Encourage users to evade prescription requirements, medical supervision, customs rules, or other legal requirements.
6. Overstate the quality, certainty, or applicability of research.
7. Present anecdotal reports as clinical proof.
8. Hide meaningful conflicts of interest.
9. Use fear-based, sensational, or manipulative health claims.
10. Promote vendors inside encyclopedia content in a way that disguises commercial influence.

AminoCatalog may discuss dosing ranges, protocols, or administration methods only in a limited, research-summary context when relevant to understanding published literature. Any such discussion must be framed as research context, not instructions for personal use.

Content is prohibited if it:

1. Tells a user what dose they should take.
2. Creates a personal protocol, cycle, stack, or treatment plan.
3. Provides step-by-step injection instructions.
4. Provides step-by-step reconstitution instructions intended for personal use.
5. Explains how to prepare or administer a research chemical for human or animal use.
6. Helps a user bypass medical supervision, prescription requirements, pharmacy requirements, customs controls, or platform rules.
7. Encourages escalating doses, combining compounds, or using compounds despite adverse effects.
8. Gives advice based on a user’s body weight, symptoms, diagnosis, lab results, medical history, goals, or current medication use.

Permitted content may include high-level statements such as:

1. “Studies have used different dosing models, and results may not translate to humans.”
2. “This compound is not approved for human use in many jurisdictions.”
3. “Published research remains limited, and safety data is incomplete.”
4. “Consult a qualified professional before making health, legal, or research decisions.”

Nothing in this Content Policy prevents users, vendors, moderators, or editorial contributors from posting, linking to, or repeating information about:

1. How to contact emergency services (for example, calling 911 in the United States or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222).
2. Recognizing signs of overdose, allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, infection, or other urgent symptoms that warrant medical attention.
3. General first-aid information from public-health authorities about exposure to a compound.
4. Information about reporting an adverse event to a regulator such as the FDA’s MedWatch program.

This carve-out is narrow. It does not authorize personal-use dosing instructions, treatment plans, or marketing of research chemicals for human or animal use. When in doubt, default to directing the reader to a qualified professional.

Content must not claim or imply that a peptide, research chemical, vendor product, protocol, stack, or compound can diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, mitigate, reverse, or manage a disease or health condition unless the claim is lawful, truthful, not misleading, and properly substantiated.

Restricted or prohibited claims include claims about:

1. Disease treatment or prevention.
2. Weight loss or fat loss.
3. Muscle gain or body recomposition.
4. Injury healing or tissue repair.
5. Anti-aging or longevity outcomes.
6. Sexual performance.
7. Cognitive enhancement.
8. Immune function.
9. Hormonal changes.
10. Cosmetic changes.
11. Recovery, sleep, mood, or energy.
12. Safety, sterility, purity, or efficacy.
13. “Pharmacy grade,” “medical grade,” “doctor recommended,” or similar quality claims.
14. Approval, legality, or compliance status.

AminoCatalog may allow neutral research summaries about these topics when they accurately describe the evidence, include appropriate limitations, and do not encourage personal use.

6. Link to unlawful, deceptive, or policy-violating product pages.
7. Promote counterfeit, adulterated, misbranded, contaminated, stolen, diverted, controlled, prohibited, or illegal products.

AminoCatalog may reject, edit, hide, label, demote, or remove product listings at any time.

Some products are categorically prohibited from AminoCatalog regardless of how they are described or framed. Vendors may not list, advertise, link to, or promote:

1. Compounds scheduled as controlled substances under the U.S. Controlled Substances Act, including anabolic-androgenic steroids (Schedule III) and other scheduled drugs, absent the listings, registrations, and prescription requirements that lawful distribution would require.
2. Insulin, GLP-1 agonists, growth-hormone secretagogues, or other prescription medications marketed for personal human use without a prescription, except for clearly labeled research-use-only material that complies with applicable law.
3. Counterfeit, diverted, adulterated, contaminated, misbranded, or stolen pharmaceuticals.
4. Compounding-pharmacy products marketed outside lawful pharmacy channels.
5. Compounds prohibited or restricted under the laws of the vendor’s or customer’s jurisdiction.
6. Substances designed to evade drug-screening protocols or to mask prohibited drugs.
7. Compounds primarily marketed as drugs of abuse, including but not limited to recreational stimulants, sedatives, dissociatives, or hallucinogens, regardless of their nominal “research” framing.
8. Veterinary-only compounds marketed for human use, or human-only compounds marketed for unsupervised animal use.

AminoCatalog may add to this list at any time. Inclusion of a compound elsewhere in our encyclopedia does not by itself authorize its sale or listing by a vendor.

Vendors may submit or reference certificates of analysis, lab reports, testing summaries, purity claims, identity claims, sterility claims, or related quality claims only if those materials are authentic, current, relevant, and not misleading.

Testing-related content must not:

1. Use fabricated, altered, forged, or misleading lab reports.
2. Use a lab report for one product, lot, or batch to imply testing for a different product, lot, or batch.
3. Hide material limitations, failed tests, dates, methods, or scope.
4. Claim sterility without appropriate evidence.
5. Claim purity or identity beyond what the testing supports.
6. Use laboratory names, logos, or reports without permission.
7. Imply that AminoCatalog has independently verified a report unless we expressly state that we have done so.

AminoCatalog may request supporting documentation, remove testing claims, label claims as unverified, or delist vendors if testing content appears unreliable, outdated, inconsistent, unverifiable, or misleading.

Reviews should reflect a real, honest experience with a vendor or vendor-listed product. Reviews help other users understand vendor reliability, communication, fulfillment, packaging, testing transparency, pricing, website experience, support quality, and other relevant vendor-performance factors.

Reviews may discuss:

1. Ordering experience.
2. Website usability.
3. Shipping speed.
4. Packaging.
5. Customer support.

10. Be copied from another site unless the reviewer owns the content and it reflects their real experience.

AminoCatalog may remove, hide, label, demote, or preserve reviews at our discretion.

Review manipulation is prohibited.

Users, vendors, agencies, affiliates, and third parties must not:

1. Create fake reviews.
2. Create fake accounts.
3. Review their own business.

Review manipulation may result in review removal, account suspension, vendor delisting, badge removal, ranking penalties, paid-feature termination, public labels, or permanent bans.

Vendors may respond to reviews where AminoCatalog provides response tools. Vendor responses must be professional, truthful, and limited to relevant context. Vendor responses must not:

1. Harass, insult, threaten, shame, or retaliate against reviewers.
2. Reveal private customer information.
3. Reveal order details, shipping details, contact information, health information, or identifying details unless legally permitted and strictly necessary.
4. Pressure the reviewer to change or remove a review.

4. Free products.
5. Discounts.
6. Refunds.
7. Sponsorships.
8. Paid reviews.
9. Influencer or ambassador relationships.
10. Agency or contractor relationships.

Undisclosed commercial content may be removed or labeled.

AminoCatalog is not opposed to the responsible use of artificial intelligence to assist with drafting or summarizing content, but AI-generated material introduces accuracy, attribution, and review-integrity risks that require honest disclosure.

Reviews and ratings. Reviews must reflect a real, first-hand experience. Reviews generated wholly or substantially by AI, or fabricated to imitate a genuine customer experience, are prohibited regardless of disclosure. Using AI only to clean up grammar or translate your own real experience is acceptable.

Vendor listings and lab reports. Vendors may not submit AI-generated product photos, AI-generated lab reports, or AI-fabricated certificates of analysis. AI-assisted copywriting for product descriptions is permitted as long as the resulting claims comply with the rest of this policy.

Editorial content. Where AminoCatalog uses AI as a drafting aid for encyclopedia or guide content, the underlying claims are still subject to the editorial standards in Section 5, including citation requirements and the prohibition on overstated certainty.

AminoCatalog may review linked content when deciding whether a profile, listing, review, or comment complies with this policy.

Links are prohibited if they lead to content that:

1. Violates this policy.
2. Markets research chemicals for unlawful human or animal use.
3. Provides prohibited dosing, injection, cycle, stack, or treatment instructions.
4. Makes unlawful or unsupported health claims.
5. Contains malware, phishing, scams, or deceptive redirects.
6. Promotes illegal products or services.
