Sponsorship
Yes, brands can advertise here. Here is exactly what that buys.
The useful version of this page is not the pitch, it is the firewall. A site about a contested subject is only worth reading if you know what money can and cannot move, so both lists are below and the second one is longer.
What sponsorship buys
- A labelled placement in a sponsor rail on the home page, the peptide index, the forum feed, or the foot of a guide
- A wordmark, one line of copy, and a link, all rendered by us from plain text
- A listing in the sponsor directory below
- A place in the quarterly transparency post, which names every sponsor and what they paid
What it does not
- Any influence on a guide: its evidence level, its studies, or the limitations written under each one
- Any influence on moderation. Sponsors are reported, removed and suspended like anyone else, and it shows up in the public log the same way
- Placement inside guides or search results. Sponsor copy never appears in a guide's reading column
- Ranking. Nothing in the database joins a sponsor to a thread's position or a peptide's order
- Member data. We do not sell it, share it, or let a sponsor target on it
- Silence. If a member posts a well-argued criticism of a sponsor, it stays up, and we will not tell them it came down for another reason
How the firewall actually works
It is not a promise in a policy document, it is the shape of the software. Sponsor records have no relation to threads, to a peptide’s evidence level, or to any moderation table, so there is no query a well-meaning employee could write that would let a sponsorship move a rating or bury a complaint. Placements render only inside a labelled slot component that lives outside the reading column.

A partner account may speak in threads, and is labelled while it does
This changed in August 2026. A partner can hold an account, answer questions, and talk about what it sells. What it cannot do is look like an ordinary member: the badge and the disclosure are rendered by the site on every post, from the sponsor record, and no partner can edit or remove them. Employees posting from personal accounts are ordinary members and disclose by hand, under R7. Undisclosed brand accounts still get removed, sponsorship or not.

No dosing, and no claims we cannot check
Partner posts and placement copy are held to the same rules as member posts. No dosing direction, no medical claims stated as fact without a source, and nothing that reads as arranging supply. Speaking freely about your own product is allowed; writing someone a protocol is not, and we will ask you to rewrite copy that fails this.
- 03
"Verified" means we checked something specific, and we say what
A partner is only badged verified once it has been through the review, and the badge carries a line naming what that review actually covered. It is not a safety guarantee and it is not an endorsement of anything said in a given post. A partner we have taken money from but not reviewed reads as "Partner", which is a commercial fact rather than a quality claim.
- 04
Your disclosure is written by you and shown verbatim
Every placement carries a disclosure line naming the commercial relationship in plain language. You write it, we display it unedited, and we will not run a placement without one.
- 05
We will publish what you paid
Quarterly, alongside membership revenue. A community cannot claim to be a trusted source and also be coy about who funds it.
Current sponsors
None right now. This page stays up either way.
What a placement has to clear
We turn down placements that read as sourcing, that make clinical claims we cannot check, or that would need a member to be misled to work. Every placement carries a disclosure written by the sponsor and printed unedited, and none of it reaches a guide’s evidence rating, its studies, or a moderation outcome.
Members: if a placement here ever looks like it bought editorial treatment, say so in General Community. That thread does not come down, and if we cannot answer it we will say that too.
