# Peptide Decoding > Peptide Decoding is an independent educational reference for research peptides. It maintains a library of 225 compound profiles, evidence-graded guides, side-by-side comparisons, and a live vendor pricing database covering more than 100 sellers. It takes no payment from vendors for coverage, inclusion, or ranking; affiliate relationships are disclosed in full. The site does not give medical advice. Content distinguishes human evidence from animal evidence and anecdote, and labels claims accordingly. Peptides are generally not FDA-approved for self-directed use; the legal and safety status of each compound is covered on its profile and on /status. ## Key pages - [Home](https://peptidedecoding.com/): Overview of the library, tools, and guides. - [Peptide library](https://peptidedecoding.com/explore): All 225 compound profiles with regulatory status, evidence grading, and dosing references. - [Guides](https://peptidedecoding.com/guides): Practical, evidence-graded how-to guides (reconstitution, storage, dosing math, injection technique, safety, legality). - [Comparisons](https://peptidedecoding.com/compare): Side-by-side compound comparisons (e.g. BPC-157 vs TB-500, semaglutide vs tirzepatide). - [Prices](https://peptidedecoding.com/prices): Live per-compound vendor price comparisons with cost per mg. - [Vendors](https://peptidedecoding.com/vendors): Tracked vendor directory and vetting standards. - [Regulatory status](https://peptidedecoding.com/status): Filterable regulatory and evidence status across all tracked compounds. - [Half-life reference](https://peptidedecoding.com/half-life): Half-life data across the library. - [Tools](https://peptidedecoding.com/tools): Calculators — dose, reconstitution, unit conversion, cycle planning. - [Glossary](https://peptidedecoding.com/glossary): Definitions of peptide terminology. - [Editorial standards](https://peptidedecoding.com/editorial-standards): How evidence is graded and content is reviewed. - [Legal FAQ & funding disclosure](https://peptidedecoding.com/legal-faq): Legal questions and full funding/affiliate disclosure. ## Feeds and indexes - [Sitemap](https://peptidedecoding.com/sitemap.xml) - [Guides RSS](https://peptidedecoding.com/guides/rss.xml)
