Here’s what you get.

  1. 01

    A profile, in full

    BPC-157 as the guide handles every compound: what was measured, in whom, and where the evidence stops.

  2. 02

    Where do I start?

    Turn a vague goal into a sentence naming the compound, the route and the outcome you want.

  3. 03

    What to bring to a clinician

    The questions that separate a real answer from a confident one. This is the page most readers print.

01 / THE RESEARCH AREAS

21 PROFILES

Find your starting point.

Choose the area you want to improve, then compare the compounds and results in that section. Each numbered entry links the research to a specific goal.

01–03

Tissue repair

BPC-157 · Thymosin beta-4 · TB-500 fragment

Was healing measured in people, using this exact molecule?

04–05

Skin + hair

GHK-Cu · Zinc thymulin

Did a controlled study show a visible change?

06–10

Metabolism

Semaglutide · Tirzepatide · Tesamorelin · AOD-9604 · MOTS-c

Was the outcome weight, visceral fat, or a laboratory marker?

11–14

GH signaling + muscle

Sermorelin · CJC-1295 · Ipamorelin · Ibutamoren

Did strength or function improve when hormone levels changed?

15

Sleep

DSIP

Did people sleep or feel better in a controlled trial?

16

Immune function

Thymosin alpha-1

Which illness and clinical outcome were studied?

17–18

Cognition

Semax · Dihexa

Are there reliable human results for the same problem?

19–21

Sexual function + fertility

Bremelanotide · Kisspeptin-10 · Kisspeptin-54

Was the target desire, hormone release, or egg maturation?

Ibutamoren is a non-peptide. Dihexa is peptide-derived, with publication warnings covered in its profile. The guide separates human findings from animal and laboratory results.

Look inside first

Three real pages, before you give an email.

No sign-up to see these. They are unedited pages from the 31-page PDF, so you can judge the guide instead of a cover.

02 / KEEP THE REFERENCE

Know where to start
with peptides.

Find your goal, compare the relevant compounds, and save your shortlist. The one-page map helps you navigate; the profiles give you the results and questions to bring to your clinician.

Eight research areas with numbered compound entries and human, observational, animal, or laboratory evidence labels. Full details are in the guide.

Honest fit

Who this helps, and who should skip it.

Worth your time if

  • You keep reading peptide threads and cannot tell which claims have human trials behind them.
  • You want a shortlist of two or three compounds to raise with a clinician.
  • You would rather see what a study measured than be told a compound "works".

Skip it if

  • You want doses, sources or an administration protocol. None are in here.
  • You have already decided what to take and want the decision confirmed.

Before you download

The questions people actually ask.

Is this an ad for Rebody?

No. The map covers 21 compounds, and Rebody sells a handful of them. No compound is in the guide because Rebody sells it, and the profiles say plainly where the human evidence is thin, including for compounds Rebody offers. I do run Rebody Health, and that is disclosed on the page and in the guide.

How do I know the research is real?

Every profile links its primary sources, and the last two pages list all of them with publishers and years. The evidence key on page 2 marks whether each finding came from a human trial, a human observation, an animal study or a laboratory study. Most peptide claims fall apart at exactly that distinction.

Does it tell me what to take?

It tells you what has been studied and how well. The guide carries no dosing, no sourcing and no administration instructions. The intended finish is a shortlist and a set of questions, which is the page above.

Are these legal?

U.S. regulatory status varies by compound and it moves. Each profile carries a status line, and the guide has a dedicated status-check page with the official sources. Both were rechecked on the date printed on the cover.

Why is it free?

Because I want more people running careful experiments on themselves, and because some readers eventually become Rebody Health customers. That is the whole model. No upsell arrives with the guide.

What happens to my email address?

You get the guide, then AI Biohacking, which is what I am testing and measuring on myself. You also get the revised guide whenever the research changes. One click unsubscribes and the address is never sold or shared.

What you are getting

1,000+ people already have this guide.

  • 21 compound profiles

Last checked
September 15, 2026. I recheck the primary research and the U.S. regulatory status of every compound, and revise the guide when either moves.
When it changes
The revised guide goes to everyone on the list. You do not have to come back for it.
