Peptide Evidence Registry

Comparison Centre

Two compounds, the same questions, no cherry-picking

Marketing compares compounds on whichever measure flatters them. This compares them on the same fields every time — including the awkward ones like how much human safety data exists. Every score here rates the evidence, not the compound: a higher number means stronger or more mature research, not that something is safer or works better.

Sharing keeps the two compounds you picked.

How to read these scores

Every number here rates the evidence, not the compound. They are editorial 0-100 strength ratings, not percentages, and not a rating out of five stars.

  • Human efficacy evidence strength — Higher = more and better-quality human evidence. It does not mean the effect is bigger or that the compound works for you.
  • Preclinical evidence strength — Higher = more animal, tissue or cell research. Preclinical results are a starting point, not proof of a human benefit.
  • Human safety evidence strength — Higher = more mature, better-documented human safety data. It does not mean the compound is safer than one with a lower number. A score of 80 does not mean “80% safe”.
  • Evidence level (L0-L5) — the strongest type of study behind the compound, from anecdote (L0) to large replicated human trials (L5). It is a description of the study evidence, not a quality, safety or recommendation rating.
  • Confidence — how likely we think it is that this rating changes as new research lands. Low confidence means the picture is unsettled, not that the compound is bad.

None of these ratings is medical advice, a safety guarantee, or a recommendation to use anything. How we grade evidence.

B7-33

A synthetic single-chain peptide derived from the relaxin-2 B-chain that signals at RXFP1; evidence is cell and animal work only.

Human efficacy evidence strength

Higher = more and better-quality human evidence. It does not mean the effect is bigger or that the compound works for you.

Strength of the human efficacy evidence2 of 100 evidence strength

KPV

Strength of the human efficacy evidence5 of 100 evidence strength

Preclinical (animal / lab) evidence strength

Higher = more animal, tissue or cell research. Preclinical results are a starting point, not proof of a human benefit.

KPV

Strength of the animal and lab evidence35 of 100 evidence strength

Human safety evidence strength

Higher = more mature, better-documented human safety data. It does not mean the compound is safer than one with a lower number.

Regulatory status (legal position, not proof it works)

B7-33

Check jurisdiction-specific details in the profile.

Not an approved medicine in any major jurisdiction. Sale as a 'research chemical' is a legal and supply-chain statement, not evidence of benefit or harm.

KPV

Check jurisdiction-specific details in the profile.

No FDA-approved product exists. FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee considered KPV in July 2026 for possible inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. Its recommendations are non-binding: this compounding-policy process is not FDA drug approval or validation of efficacy claims. FDA briefing material states that no clinical studies or human exposure data for KPV via any route were identified and that human safety risks are unknown.

Common claims

B7-33

  • · Anti-fibrotic effects in heart, lung or kidney
  • · Tissue repair and recovery

KPV

  • · Heals the gut lining in IBD and leaky gut
  • · Reduces systemic inflammation

Cancer-related questions raised by the biology

These are theoretical or monitored questions raised by how a compound works. They are not evidence that it causes cancer.

B7-33

Not established. No human data; no specific signal identified in the curated record.

KPV

No data in humans either way; unstudied.

What this adds up to, in plain English

B7-33

This sits in theory and anecdote. Popular claims about it should be treated with very low confidence.

KPV

This sits in theory and anecdote. Popular claims about it should be treated with very low confidence.

A comparison is not a recommendation

Neither column here is an endorsement, and the compound with the higher numbers is not the “better” or “safer” one — it is simply the one with more or better-quality research behind it. Two compounds can both be poorly evidenced, and better-evidenced says nothing about whether either is a sensible idea for a specific person. That is a conversation for a qualified clinician.
