Evidence
Not All Peptide Research Is Equal
It is important to understand the different levels of scientific evidence when evaluating peptide research. Results from laboratory or animal studies do not automatically establish human safety or effectiveness.
- 1. Preclinical research Laboratory and animal studies evaluate biological activity and mechanisms of action.
- 2. Early human studies Small, early-phase studies assess safety, tolerability and preliminary effects.
- 3. Controlled clinical trials Larger, well-designed studies evaluate effectiveness and monitor adverse events.
- 4. Regulatory review Agencies review all available data on safety, efficacy and manufacturing.
- 5. Approved medical use Peptides with sufficient evidence may receive regulatory approval for specific uses.
