Sources, in full.

Every primary source cited on this site, with DOI or FDA docket identifier, and a link to the original record. Filterable by source type.

Primary sources

The references below are the complete primary-source list for this site. Inline numerals on other pages — [1], [2], and so on — map to the numbered entries here. Sources span peer-reviewed peptide pharmacology, the ClinicalTrials.gov record, FDA briefing materials and 503A guidance documents, the World Anti-Doping Code Prohibited List, the FDA Drugs@FDA database, and one HHS public statement.

Where multiple page-citations rely on the same primary source (for example, the Teichman 2006 Phase 1 paper appears in /index, /research, /dosage, and /faq), the source is listed once and referenced repeatedly. The full citation list is reproduced in llms-full.txt for machine-readable consumption.

This site is an independent editorial reading of publicly available research — not affiliated with any vendor, clinic, or prescriber.
