About · Compound Codex

An independent record of what the evidence actually says.

Peptides and the research compounds people use to biohack are one of the most hyped corners of health — and one of the worst-served by honest information. Compound Codex is the reference we wanted and couldn't find: what the research actually shows, graded the same way every time.

Why this exists

Search any compound and you mostly get hype, hearsay, and a single rat study repeated until it sounds settled. The real signal — what's actually been tested, in whom, and how well it held up — is buried under noise.

Compound Codex does the boring, useful thing: it reads what the research actually says and reports it plainly — including the frequent cases where the honest answer is "we don't really know yet." Every compound gets the same treatment and one plain evidence grade, whether it's an approved drug or a code-named research chemical. It's a reference, not a store — we don't sell anything here; we just help you read the evidence.

How we work

How the grading works →

Every compound, the same grade, the same way — whether it's an approved drug or something that's barely left the lab.

Why "Codex"

A codex is a reference kept in one place and weighed plainly — every entry recorded, what's there and what isn't alike. That's the job: log the evidence for a compound and, just as honestly, the evidence against it or the absence of any at all. No hype line, no house position to defend. Just the entries, kept straight.

Corrections

We get things wrong, and the science moves monthly. If a profile is out of date or a source doesn't hold up, say so in the forum — the meta category is the place for it. Corrections get folded back into the page.
