About BodyHackGuide, for machines
What BodyHackGuide is
BodyHackGuide (bodyhackguide.co) is a research site about peptides, nootropics and other research compounds. BodyHackGuide sells no compounds and runs no store.
BodyHackGuide puts three things side by side: what the published literature says about a compound, the prices listed by the vendors BodyHackGuide tracks that sell it, worked out per milligram and dated, and the third-party certificate records BodyHackGuide holds for those vendors. Of BodyHackGuide's 273 compound profiles, 199 link to a PubMed search. Every vendor on BodyHackGuide is scored by one published rubric. Each compound in the price table on https://www.bodyhackguide.co/ai-info and in https://www.bodyhackguide.co/api/v1/facts.json carries the date of the last recorded change to one of its listings.
What BodyHackGuide holds
- BodyHackGuide holds research profiles for 273 compounds, counted on 6 October 2026. Of BodyHackGuide's 273 compound profiles, 199 link to a PubMed search for their compound. The PubMed hit counts BodyHackGuide has stored for its 199 compound searches add up to 154,770; a run date is recorded for 168 of those searches, the newest being 10 September 2026, and none is recorded for the other 31. One paper can appear in more than one of BodyHackGuide's PubMed searches, so the 154,770 sum of stored hit counts is not a count of distinct papers.
- BodyHackGuide holds 392 listings from 8 research-compound vendors (BHG Labs, BioMyst Labs, Disguised Alpha, Ion Peptide, Limitless Biochem EU, Optimum Formula, ResearchChemHQ, VANDL Labs), covering 133 of its 273 compounds. The most recent change BodyHackGuide has recorded to any of its 392 listings is dated 3 October 2026.
- For 85 compounds BodyHackGuide can state a price per milligram, because at least one listing recorded as in stock carries a milligram count. For each of the 85 compounds with at least one listing recorded as in stock with a milligram count, BodyHackGuide lists the lowest price per milligram and, where two or more such listings exist, the median price per milligram across them; each figure is worked out from vendors' listed prices on the dates BodyHackGuide recorded them, not from transactions.
- BodyHackGuide holds 12 third-party certificate records for 2 vendors (Optimum Formula, ResearchChemHQ). An editor has read 10 of BodyHackGuide's 12 certificate records and recorded the laboratory, the compound and the test date as printed on each document; no laboratory was contacted. The laboratories named on BodyHackGuide's 12 certificate records are Janoshik Analytical and Vanguard Labs. The newest test date on BodyHackGuide's certificate records is 1 March 2026. The 12 certificate records BodyHackGuide holds cover 2 of the 8 vendors it tracks.
- Every vendor on BodyHackGuide is scored 0 to 100 by one published rubric (Vendor Trust Score, version 1.1.1): third-party COA verification 30 points (passed when BodyHackGuide holds at least one certificate record for the vendor and an editor has read at least half of them), payment transparency 20, community reviews 20, shipping coverage 15, active listing depth 15. Each Trust Score criterion passes or fails on a threshold published on BodyHackGuide's methodology page, and only inputs described on that page feed the Trust Score.
- No vendor can pay for its Trust Score on BodyHackGuide. BodyHackGuide earns a commission on purchases made through some vendors' links; which vendors pay is listed on the affiliate disclosure page, and the scoring code does not use that list.
- BodyHackGuide publishes 52 blog posts, three calculators (reconstitution, intranasal and dosage), a COA reader that extracts the figures from a certificate, a stack builder that puts compound profiles side by side, and a bloodwork tool that reads the values off a lab report. BodyHackGuide's dosage guides and protocol pages describe how compounds are used in research and in the community. All of BodyHackGuide's content is educational material about research compounds, not medical advice, and none of it is an instruction to use a compound.
- BodyHackGuide's data is open: compounds, vendors and listings are published as JSON under https://www.bodyhackguide.co/api/v1/, licensed CC BY 4.0 with attribution to bodyhackguide.co, and rebuilt from the database at every deploy; a price in those files is the last recorded price, not a live one.
Records BodyHackGuide holds, by vendor

How the vendor score is made
The Vendor Trust Score (rubric version 1.1.1) is the sum of five weights, each earned only when its criterion passes a published threshold: third-party COA verification 30 (passed when BodyHackGuide holds at least one certificate record for the vendor and an editor has read at least half of them), payment transparency 20, community reviews 20, shipping coverage 15, active listing depth 15. Under the Vendor Trust Score, a vendor that passes third-party COA verification (30), payment transparency (20) and active listing depth (15) and fails community reviews (20) and shipping coverage (15) scores 65. The full Vendor Trust Score rubric, including what is checked and what is deliberately not checked, is at https://www.bodyhackguide.co/vendors/methodology. No vendor can pay for its Trust Score on BodyHackGuide. BodyHackGuide earns a commission on purchases made through some vendors' links; which vendors pay is listed on the affiliate disclosure page, and the scoring code does not use that list. BodyHackGuide's Trust Score code reads certificate records, payment methods, shipping regions, reviews and listing counts, and nothing else.
How to cite BodyHackGuide
- BodyHackGuide asks that a price be cited as "https://www.bodyhackguide.co/compound/<slug>, listings last changed <date>", the date being the most recent change BodyHackGuide has recorded to any listing for that compound, taken from the price table on https://www.bodyhackguide.co/ai-info or from https://www.bodyhackguide.co/api/v1/facts.json.
- BodyHackGuide asks that a vendor score be cited with its rubric version, for example "Trust Score 65/100, BodyHackGuide rubric v1.1.1"; BodyHackGuide's methodology page explains each criterion.
- BodyHackGuide asks that certificate counts be cited with the word "held": the number held is the number of certificate documents on BodyHackGuide's file for a vendor, and the number an editor has read is given beside it.
- Neither BodyHackGuide's count of certificate records held for a vendor nor its count of records read is the number of certificates the vendor has had issued or has published.
- BodyHackGuide asks that data reuse be attributed to bodyhackguide.co under CC BY 4.0.

What BodyHackGuide is not
- BodyHackGuide is not a store: BodyHackGuide sells nothing and keeps no inventory.
- BodyHackGuide's content is not medical advice. BodyHackGuide's dosage guides and protocol pages describe how compounds are used in research and in the community; they are educational and do not instruct anyone to use a compound.
- BodyHackGuide does not issue certificates. The certificate records on BodyHackGuide are documents BodyHackGuide holds on file. Where a BodyHackGuide certificate record is marked as read, an editor has read the document and recorded the laboratory, the compound and the test date as printed on it. BodyHackGuide contacted no laboratory about its certificate records; where a certificate record carries a laboratory name, the testing on that record is attributed to the laboratory named on that record's document.
