About
Built because the honest version did not exist.
Peptide information online splits into two camps: sales pages that overstate everything, and academic databases that are unreadable unless you already know the field. WikiTides is the missing third option plain language, primary sources, and an explicit grade on every claim.
Evidence grading
The tier is the product.
Grades are assigned per claim, not per compound, and the weakest interpretation wins when reviewers disagree.
| Tier | Source type | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical | Randomised human trials | Strongest available signal |
| Human-limited | Small or observational | Suggestive, not settled |
| Animal | Preclinical models | Mechanism only |
| Anecdotal | Reports and self-report | Lowest confidence |
Editorial policy
How a profile gets written.
Four steps, and a rule that overrides all of them: if the literature does not support a statement, the statement does not go in.
Scope the literature
A reviewer assembles every primary source they can find for a compound including trials that failed, were discontinued, or were never published in English.
Grade each claim
Statements are tagged individually. A compound can have a Clinical claim about glycaemia and an Animal claim about tendon healing on the same page.
Second read
A different reviewer checks the grade against the cited sources. Disagreements are resolved in favour of the weaker tier.
Publish with gaps
Every profile ships with an explicit list of unanswered questions. If we cannot name the gaps, we do not understand the literature well enough to publish.
No dosing, ever
We publish pharmacology receptor targets, reported half-lives, routes studied, regulatory status. We do not publish doses, schedules, reconstitution instructions, or protocol guidance, for any compound, including approved ones. Readers ask us to cross this line regularly. The answer does not change.
Funding
Member fees. Nothing else.
No advertising, no affiliate revenue, no sponsored profiles, no supplier partnerships, no industry grants. Members pay for the tools; the reference database stays free for everyone, including people who will never pay us anything.
- We do not sell compounds or link to sellers.
- We do not accept payment to review or re-grade a compound.
- We do not run ads, native or otherwise.
- We publish what changed and why, with dates.
Corrections
Tell us where we are wrong.
If a grade is too generous, a citation is misread, or a trial we missed changes the picture, send it. Corrections that hold up are applied with a dated note on the profile and credit to whoever raised them.
