## Section 0 — Site structure

- The peptide library is the primary research surface — open, structured profiles with citations.
- The catalogue is an open informational directory of research-grade entries (format, size, purity, documentation). It is not currently a direct-purchase channel.
- The newsletter is the only data-collection surface on the site: subscribers receive low-volume updates on new profiles, citation refreshes, and neutral research summaries.
- There is no inquiry/quote/contact form for catalogue access. Subscribe to the newsletter to be notified when supply pathways change.

## Section 1 — Editorial standards

1. Each peptide profile cites a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
2. Each citation records: title, authors, journal, year, PMID (where indexed),
   DOI (where issued), model type, sample size (or "not reported in abstract" /
   "N/A (review)"), and a neutral one-line summary.
3. Study summaries describe only what was observed in the cited model. They do
   not generalise to clinical, human, or therapeutic outcomes.
4. Forbidden guidance sitewide: editorial copy must not present peptides as
   treating, curing, preventing, or being safe/effective for a condition, and
   must not provide dosage, cycling, stacking, injection, or human-use
   instructions. Exact paper titles may contain source-authored wording and
   should be interpreted only as citations.
5. Approved framing: "studied in research settings for...", "investigated for
   its role in...", "observed in laboratory studies...", "associated with...".

### 2.1 BPC-157
- URL: https://palthera.com/peptides/bpc-157
- Category: Synthetic Peptides
- Classification: Synthetic gastric peptide fragment
- Aliases: Body protection compound fragment; Pentadecapeptide BPC 157
- Sequence: GEPPPGKPADDAGLV
- Molecular weight: 1419.6 Da

- Evidence caveats: Much of the foundational rodent and human-observation
  literature comes from a single research group (Khavinson et al.); independent
  replication is limited. Anti-ageing and lifespan claims circulating outside
