How we work

Editorial Policy & Standards

Peptides.NYC publishes educational health content. This page explains who writes that content, how it gets reviewed, and the important things we can't do for you.

Our Mission

Peptides.NYC exists to provide accurate, accessible education about peptide therapy and health optimization. We recognize this is a rapidly evolving field where misinformation can have real consequences.

Our goal is to be a trusted educational guide — not a sales pitch and not a clinical service. We do not sell peptides, and our content is not influenced by commercial relationships with vendors.

Content Principles

Evidence-Based

Health claims are grounded in peer-reviewed research, clinical trials, or established medical guidelines. We cite primary sources whenever possible.

Editorial Review, Not Medical Review

Every article is reviewed by the editorial team for accuracy and clarity. The editorial team is not composed of licensed medical professionals, and articles are not medically reviewed.

Regularly Updated

Content is reviewed and updated to reflect new research, regulatory changes, and corrections.

Transparent About Limitations

We distinguish established science from emerging research and anecdotal evidence, and we say so when evidence is limited.

Content Review Process

1

Research & Drafting

Articles are researched and written by the editorial team. Primary sources are identified and cited inline or in a References section.

2

Editorial Review

The editorial team reviews each article for accuracy, clarity, and completeness. Claims are verified against cited sources before publication.

3

Publication & Monitoring

Content is published with a 'Last Updated' date. We monitor for new research, FDA actions, or state regulatory changes that may require revisions.

What we don't do

No medical review. The editorial team is not a licensed clinician, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional. Articles on Peptides.NYC are not reviewed by a medical professional before publication. We do not represent ourselves as a medical authority.

No clinical guidance. We do not diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide personalized medical advice. We don't know your medical history, current medications, or contraindications, and we can't responsibly stand in for someone who does.

No vendor endorsements. Peptides.NYC does not sell peptides. We discuss vendor selection frameworks but do not endorse specific products or take affiliate revenue from peptide retailers.

Sources & Citations

We prioritize high-quality sources including:

  • Peer-reviewed research from journals indexed in PubMed, including randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews
  • Clinical trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov and published trial results
  • Regulatory documents from the FDA, DEA, and state medical boards
  • Medical guidelines from professional organizations such as the Endocrine Society and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

We distinguish between established evidence and emerging research. When evidence is limited or preliminary, we say so explicitly.

Updates & Corrections

We are committed to keeping our content accurate and current. When we discover errors or when new research becomes available:

  • Factual corrections are made promptly with a note indicating the correction
  • Content updatesare noted with a "Last updated" date visible on each article
  • Major revisions are noted in an update summary at the top of the article
