How Well-Evidenced Is Your Stack?
Not all peptides are created equal. We score each one across four evidence dimensions — human trials, mechanism clarity, mRNA monitoring signal, and safety — so you know exactly where the science stands.
Scoring Methodology
Each peptide is scored across 4 dimensions (25 points each, 100 total). Scores are based on published clinical evidence, regulatory status, and Biomeme's proprietary mRNA monitoring assessment.

GLP-1 (Semaglutide)
Incretin Mimetic
FDA-approved with the strongest evidence base of any peptide therapy.
Testosterone / TRT
Hormone
Well-established hormone replacement with decades of clinical data.
NAD+ / NMN
Metabolic Cofactor
Promising preclinical data with emerging human trial evidence.
Kisspeptin
Reproductive Hormone Peptide
Well-characterized reproductive peptide with growing clinical trial data.
SS-31 (Elamipretide)
Mitochondrial-Targeted Peptide
Mitochondria-targeted peptide with Phase II/III clinical trial data.
MOTS-c
Mitochondrial-Derived Peptide
Exciting mitochondrial peptide with strong preclinical data but limited human trials.
Ipamorelin
Growth Hormone Secretagogue
Selective GH secretagogue with a cleaner side-effect profile than GHRP-6.
CJC-1295
Growth Hormone Secretagogue
Long-acting GHRH analog with published human PK data, often stacked with ipamorelin.
TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4)
Therapeutic Peptide
Wound-healing peptide with strong animal data but minimal human clinical evidence.
BPC-157
Therapeutic Peptide
Popular in biohacking communities but evidence is almost entirely from animal studies.
Selank
Nootropic Peptide
Russian-developed anxiolytic peptide with limited Western clinical validation.
Epitalon
Telomere Peptide
Telomerase-activating peptide with intriguing but unvalidated anti-aging claims.
Semax
Nootropic Peptide
Russian-approved nootropic with limited Western clinical validation.
Why Evidence Grading Matters
The peptide and longevity space is growing rapidly — but so is misinformation. Influencer endorsements and anecdotal reports drive adoption of peptides with little-to-no human clinical data. Our Peptide Evidence Score cuts through the noise with an honest, transparent framework. A C or D grade doesn't mean a peptide is useless — it means the human evidence isn't there yet. And that distinction matters for informed decision-making.
