What Is a "Report"?
A report is a single community submission documenting a person's self-reported experience with a specific peptide. Reports are collected from public forums and self-experimenter networks and structured into a standardized format.
Report Schema
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Peptide | Name of the peptide referenced (e.g. BPC-157, Ozempic) |
| Source URL | Direct link to the original post or thread |
| Platform | Source community (e.g. Reddit, forum name) |
| Report Date | Date of original post |
| Category | Reported effect type: Benefit / Side Effect / Dosing / Neutral |
| Subcategory | Specific tag (e.g. "recovery", "sleep", "appetite suppression") |
| Sentiment | Positive / Negative / Neutral (rule-based classification) |
| Confidence Score | 1–3 (1 = anecdotal mention, 2 = detailed account, 3 = structured self-experiment) |
| Duplicate Flag | Whether the submission was flagged as a cross-post |
How Reports Enter the System
- 1
Continuous monitoring of major peptide communities via keyword and entity tracking
- 2
Each candidate post is evaluated against minimum criteria (must reference a specific peptide, must include a reported effect or experience)
- 3
Posts are categorized and tagged using a rule-based classification system
- 4
Source URL is retained and linked for independent verification
Deduplication
- Cross-posts (the same report appearing on multiple platforms) are flagged and counted once
- Posts from the same user within a 30-day window on the same peptide are deduplicated
- Deduplication is based on source URL + content fingerprint matching
Spam & Bias Filtering
- Promotional content and vendor posts are excluded
- Posts without a reported personal experience are excluded
- Conflicting reports are retained and classified separately — they are not merged or averaged
- No editorial weighting is applied; all qualifying reports carry equal weight

Known Limitations
We publish these limitations explicitly because transparency is the foundation of trustworthy data.
- Self-reported: All data is user-submitted and not clinically validated
- Selection bias: Data skews toward enthusiast communities; casual or negative experiences may be underrepresented
- No outcome verification: We do not confirm whether reported outcomes occurred or persisted
- No dosing standardization: Dosing information reflects user-reported amounts, not clinical protocols
- No adverse event tracking: Reports do not systematically capture long-term effects
- Not peer-reviewed: This dataset has not been reviewed by any scientific or medical body
This data is appropriate for:
- Trend identification
- Hypothesis generation
- Community pattern analysis
This data is NOT appropriate for:
- Clinical conclusions
- Medical guidance
- Regulatory submissions
