Trusted Resources: Safety, Dosing and Evidence Pages
These are pages the Bureau reads itself and would send a reader to whether or not they ever link back. Nobody pays to be listed, there are no affiliate links on this page, and nothing here sells research peptides or tells you where to buy them. If a source is a vendor, a vendor directory or a marketing site, it does not belong here.
Dosing errors and medication safety
- FDA: concerns with unapproved GLP-1 drugs used for weight lossThe regulator's own statement on compounded and unapproved GLP-1 products, including reports of dosing errors. It is the baseline for anything we write about GLP-1 vials.
- ECRI: common medication errors with GLP-1 therapiesA patient-safety nonprofit's list of the errors that actually happen. It names the mismatch between milligrams on the label and units on the syringe, the step most readers get wrong.
- Diabetes Education Services: insulin and diabetes medication PocketCardsQuick-reference cards that diabetes educators keep on hand. Written for clinicians and patients, so use them for insulin and syringe basics rather than for mixing a research vial.
GLP-1 patient education and muscle
- Diabetes Strong: everything you need to know about OzempicA medically reviewed patient guide to prefilled Ozempic pens: the strength chart, the usual titration steps, missed doses and storage. It covers pens, not vials.
- Barbell Medicine: does GLP-1 weight loss cause disproportionate muscle loss?A physician-written, heavily referenced argument that most of the lean-mass drop reflects water, glycogen and fat rather than muscle, with resistance training as the lever. It is a coaching business, so expect its own products on the page.
Reconstitution and bacteriostatic water
- PeptideJournal: how to use bacteriostatic water for peptidesAn educational walk-through of the concentration formula with a reference table. It is the same arithmetic as our own how to reconstitute peptides guide.
- Peptulator: peptide reconstitution calculatorThe free calculator run by the same team as this site. It turns a vial amount and a water volume into a concentration and a syringe mark, with the formula written out so you can check it by hand.
Evidence
- Literature and patent review of BPC-157 (PubMed Central)A peer-reviewed review of what has and has not been shown for BPC-157. It states that human clinical evidence is limited, which is the honest starting point for any research compound.
From the Bureau
- Peptide storage guideFridge, freezer and how long a reconstituted vial lasts.
- How to inject peptidesTechnique, syringe choice and site rotation.
- Peptide testing and certificates of analysisWhat a certificate of analysis does and does not tell you.
- Affiliate disclosureHow the Bureau is funded, stated plainly.
How we choose
A page is listed only after one of us has read it. We prefer regulators, safety bodies and educational sites that cite their sources. We skip anything with buy buttons, anything that pays or is paid for placement, and sites whose outbound links run into the thousands. If you publish a page that belongs here, write to [email protected] and we will read it.
Research use only. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
