Peer-reviewed, citation-backed education on peptide therapeutics.
Peptides Know How is an independent educational resource. We publish evidence-based monographs, clinical protocols, and dosing tools — written for healthcare professionals and informed patients. We do not sell peptides and are not affiliated with any vendor or manufacturer.
Editorial Standards
Primary Citations
Every claim links to peer-reviewed literature. We cite original research, systematic reviews, and FDA documents — never blogs or vendor marketing.
Medical Review
Content is reviewed by board-certified physicians and pharmacologists. Each monograph lists its medical reviewer and date of last review.
Regular Updates
Peptide research evolves quickly. We audit every monograph on a rolling schedule and flag outdated sections. Last site-wide review: April 2026.
Featured Monographs
Peptide Database
BPC-157
A pentadecapeptide derived from gastric juice that promotes angiogenesis and modulates nitric oxide synthesis, studied for tendon and ligament healing.
TB-500
A synthetic fragment of thymosin beta-4 that upregulates actin and promotes cell migration, investigated for wound healing and tissue regeneration.
Semaglutide
A GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes (Ozempic) and chronic weight management (Wegovy), with demonstrated cardiovascular benefit.
Tirzepatide
A dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type 2 diabetes (Mounjaro) and obesity (Zepbound), showing superior weight reduction in clinical trials.
CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin
A combination of a growth hormone-releasing hormone analog and a selective ghrelin receptor agonist, used in compounded form to stimulate pulsatile GH release.
PT-141
Bremelanotide, a melanocortin-4 receptor agonist approved as Vyleesi for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women.
Clinical Tools
Calculators and Visualizers
Reconstitution Calculator
Calculate bacteriostatic water volume and syringe tick marks for any lyophilized peptide vial. Supports common vial sizes and concentrations.
Half-Life Visualizer
Visualize plasma concentration curves over time for peptides with known pharmacokinetic parameters. Compare single-dose vs. steady-state levels.
GLP-1 Titration Scheduler
Generate a week-by-week titration schedule for semaglutide or tirzepatide based on published FDA-approved dosing protocols.
Syringe Visualizer
See exactly which tick mark to draw to on a 0.5 mL or 1 mL insulin syringe for your calculated dose. Reduces injection measurement errors.
