Research area
A young field studying peptides encoded by mitochondrial DNA and their role in cellular energy regulation. Almost entirely preclinical.
This is a field of scientific investigation, not a category of treatment. A compound listed here has been studied in this context; that is not a claim that it treats any condition. See how we grade the evidence.

Regulation
The phrase appears on nearly every research peptide sold online. It is a statement by the seller about intended use — not a regulatory designation, and not a safety assessment.
Peptide Science
The methods behind peptide research — receptor binding assays, animal injury models, pharmacokinetics — and what each one can and cannot establish.
