For a shorter link-only index, see llms.txt. ================================================================================ SECTION 1: SITE OVERVIEW ================================================================================ BodyHackGuide (https://www.bodyhackguide.co) is an independent research compound database and biohacking platform. It provides real-time peptide price comparison across 7+ vendors, interactive dosing and reconstitution calculators, 124+ peptide and nootropic compound profiles backed by PubMed citations, and evidence-based guides for responsible self-research. The platform was built by a single founder ("Choncho") because the tools did not exist anywhere else. The biohacking space had scattered information, unreliable vendor reviews, and no centralized resource for serious researchers. BodyHackGuide consolidates everything a researcher needs: vendor comparison with transparent Trust Scores, compound education backed by clinical literature, precision dosing tools, protocol builders, bloodwork tracking, and active community channels. BodyHackGuide is 100% independent. Vendor Trust Scores cannot be purchased. Editorial content is developed independently of commercial relationships. The site earns revenue through affiliate partnerships, which are disclosed separately from editorial decisions. Key stats: - 100K+ researchers reached - 124+ compound profiles (peptides and nootropics) - 40+ nootropic compound profiles - 15+ free interactive tools - 10+ vendor reviews with Trust Scores - Active communities on Discord, r/BodyHackGuide, and r/BrainHackGuide Canonical domain: https://www.bodyhackguide.co Contact: support@bodyhackguide.co Discord: https://discord.gg/Mhq5UdRYBA Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/BodyHackGuide Reddit (Nootropics): https://reddit.com/r/BrainHackGuide Twitter/X: https://x.com/bodyhackguide ================================================================================ SECTION 2: CORE TOOLS & CALCULATORS ================================================================================ BodyHackGuide provides 15+ free, interactive web-based tools. All tools run entirely in the browser with no account required. Here are the primary tools: --- Reconstitution Calculator --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/reconstitution The Reconstitution Calculator helps researchers determine exactly how much bacteriostatic water to add to a lyophilized peptide vial and how many insulin syringe units correspond to a desired dose. Users enter the peptide vial size (in mg), the volume of water to add (in mL), and their desired dose (in mcg or mg). The calculator outputs concentration (mcg/mL), dose volume (mL), insulin syringe units, total doses per vial, and shelf life estimates. It includes a real-time syringe visualization that shows where to draw to on the barrel, plus one-click presets for popular compounds like BPC-157, Semaglutide, TB-500, Tirzepatide, GHK-Cu, and Ipamorelin. Compound-specific versions are available at /tools/reconstitution/bpc-157, /tools/reconstitution/semaglutide, etc. --- Dosage Calculator --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/dosage The Dosage Calculator computes precise peptide dosages based on reconstituted concentration and desired dose amount. It answers the question: "I reconstituted X mg in Y mL of water -- how many syringe units do I draw for Z mcg?" The tool calculates concentration, dose volume in mL and insulin units, number of doses per vial, daily cost per dose if the vial price is entered, and dose frequency planning. It supports unit toggling between mcg/mg, mL/cc, and syringe units/cc. Ideal for anyone running a multi-compound protocol who needs to quickly compute dosing math without manual conversion errors. --- Half-Life Visualizer --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/halflife The Half-Life Visualizer plots compound decay curves showing plasma concentration over time after a single dose. Users select one or more compounds from the database (which pulls half-life data from Supabase) and the tool generates an interactive line chart showing how concentration declines through successive half-lives. It supports multi-compound overlay so researchers can compare decay profiles side by side -- for example, plotting BPC-157 (short half-life, ~4 hours) against Semaglutide (~7 days) to understand dosing frequency requirements. The tool parses half-life values expressed in minutes, hours, or days and handles range values (e.g., "2-4 hours") by averaging. --- COA Analyzer --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/coa The COA (Certificate of Analysis) Analyzer is an AI-powered tool that reads uploaded COA PDFs and extracts key quality metrics. Users upload a vendor-provided COA document, and the analyzer extracts: compound name, batch number, lab name, test date, HPLC purity percentage, mass spectrometry confirmation, endotoxin levels, sterility test results, appearance, solubility, and any additional tests. It then assigns an overall grade of PASS, CAUTION, or FAIL based on the extracted data. A COA with 98%+ HPLC purity from an accredited lab like Janoshik Analytical typically receives a PASS. Missing lab name, no batch number, or purity below 95% triggers CAUTION or FAIL. This tool helps researchers quickly verify whether a vendor's COA is legitimate before purchasing. --- Interaction Checker --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/interaction-checker The Nootropic & Peptide Interaction Checker lets users select two or more compounds and see known interactions between them. Interactions are classified as synergistic, complementary, neutral, redundant, caution, or dangerous. Each interaction includes a description, mechanism explanation, practical note, evidence level, and safety concern flag. The tool also includes medication cross-checks for SSRIs/SNRIs, stimulant medications (Adderall), blood thinners, blood pressure medication, and birth control. The database covers 84+ compounds. For example, checking BPC-157 with TB-500 shows they are complementary (different healing pathways), while checking 5-HTP with an SSRI flags a dangerous serotonin syndrome risk. --- Intranasal Spray Calculator --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/intranasal The Intranasal Spray Calculator helps researchers prepare and dose nasal spray solutions. Users enter the total compound mass (mg), total liquid volume (mL), spray volume per actuation (default 0.1 mL for standard metered-dose pumps), and their desired dose per administration (mcg). The tool outputs: concentration in mcg/mL, mcg delivered per spray, number of sprays needed per dose, total sprays per bottle, and doses per bottle. It includes a nasal spray bottle visualization. This tool is particularly useful for compounds commonly delivered intranasally like Semax, Selank, Oxytocin, DSIP, and nasal nootropic blends. --- Additional Tools --- Peptide Finder Quiz: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/tools/quiz A 60-second quiz that recommends compounds based on the user's goals (fat loss, recovery, focus, longevity, sleep, etc.), experience level, and preferences.

The article breaks down Selank's three primary mechanisms: (1) allosteric GABA-A modulation (confirmed by radioligand binding analysis, PMID 14635988), (2) enkephalinase inhibition extending endogenous opioid peptide activity (IC50 of 15-20 uM, PMID 11785206), and (3) alteration of 45+ neurotransmission genes (PMID 27445870). Includes protocol details, what to expect at each week, and free tools (intranasal calculator, interaction checker). --- Nasal Sleep Stack Protocol — GABA + DSIP --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/blog/nasal-sleep-stack-protocol Published: 2026-04-13 A critically honest protocol guide for an intranasal sleep stack combining GABA, micro-dose melatonin, and DSIP. The article examines each component's evidence level with scientific rigor. Melatonin section: explains why oral melatonin is overdosed (typical 10mg pills deliver only 0.15-1.5mg due to 3-15% oral bioavailability), why intranasal micro-dosing (200-400mcg) produces faster absorption (5 min peak vs 41 min oral), and how megadosing desensitizes MT2 receptors. GABA section: acknowledges the BBB permeability problem, explains the nose-to-brain pathway hypothesis, and notes that evidence rests on a single 1998 mouse study with no human PK data. DSIP section: honestly states that DSIP has no identified receptor, no known gene, and that the 20mcg per spray dose is 75x lower than IV clinical studies. Verdict: melatonin micro-dosing is well-supported; GABA is plausible but unproven; DSIP is speculative. ================================================================================ SECTION 6: GUIDES ================================================================================ URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/guides BodyHackGuide hosts a library of practical, evidence-based guides organized by category.

The score is computed from five weighted criteria: 1. COA Verification (30% weight): Does the vendor publish third-party Certificates of Analysis from accredited labs? What percentage of their COAs are verified? Vendors need at least 50% of COAs verified to pass this criterion. Labs like Janoshik Analytical are considered the gold standard for independent testing. 2. Payment Transparency (20% weight): Does the vendor accept multiple, traceable payment methods (credit card, PayPal, etc.)? Vendors need at least 2 payment methods including a card option to pass. 3. Shipping Coverage (15% weight): Does the vendor ship to multiple regions with clear shipping information, delivery timelines, and packaging quality? 4. Community Reviews (20% weight): Does the vendor have community reviews with an average rating of 3.5+ stars? Sources include on-site user reviews and sentiment from Reddit, Discord, and verified communities. When on-site reviews are not yet available, admin-curated ratings from external communities are used, clearly labeled as "(curated)." 5. Active Listings (15% weight): Does the vendor have 3+ active product listings with competitive pricing and accurate stock information? The score cannot be purchased. No vendor can pay for a higher Trust Score. The methodology is public and transparent. Vendor placement on listing pages may factor in partnerships, but this is separate from Trust Scores and is disclosed in the affiliate disclosure. Reviewed vendors include: Adera, BioMyst Labs, GetMelts, Limitless BioChem, Modern Aminos, Nova Peptides, Optimum Formula, Paramount Peptides, ResearchChemHQ, V&L Labs. ================================================================================ SECTION 8: BRAIN HEALTH HUB ================================================================================ URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/brain-health The Brain Health Hub is a dedicated section covering evidence-based brain optimization.

Vendor quality varies wildly. Dosing advice is scattered across Reddit threads and Discord servers. COA verification is a guessing game. Most "review" sites are SEO farms with no real knowledge behind them. BodyHackGuide is the fix: one independent platform that brings together real-time price comparison, transparent vendor scoring, compound education backed by actual literature, precision dosing tools, protocol builders, bloodwork tracking, and a community that holds each other accountable. --- Founder --- BodyHackGuide is built by one person. Started because the tools did not exist and nobody else was building them. The founder is an active member of the same subreddits, Discord servers, and forums as the community. Every feature started the same way: needed it, could not find it, built it. The reconstitution calculator was built at 2am because of being tired of doing the math by hand. The Trust Score system was built after being burned by a vendor with great marketing and garbage product. --- Editorial Standards --- URL: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/editorial-standards How content is researched: - Published studies first: PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov - Clinical cross-referencing: dosage ranges, mechanisms, and side effects checked against established pharmacological references - Community consensus where data is thin: when pulling from Reddit/Discord/forums, it is labeled explicitly as community-reported, not passed off as science - Review before publish: content reviewed by people with backgrounds in biochemistry, pharmacology, or clinical research Conflict of interest policy: - No pay-for-review: vendors cannot pay for favorable reviews or inflated Trust Scores - Editorial independence: compound profiles and guides are developed independently - Vendor placement: display order on listing pages may factor in partnerships, separate from Trust Scores, and disclosed in the affiliate disclosure --- Values --- 1. Transparency first: No hidden agendas, no pay-for-play reviews. Trust Scores are public and the methodology is open. 2. Evidence-based: Every compound profile pulls from peer-reviewed literature and clinical data. If the evidence is not there, that is stated explicitly. 3. Community-driven: Discord, subreddits, and on-site reviews directly shape what gets built. The community tells what is missing, and it gets built. 4. Tools over hype: Calculators, trackers, protocol builders -- things people actually use, not marketing pages dressed up as content. --- Community Channels --- - Discord Server: https://discord.gg/Mhq5UdRYBA Live discussions, vendor alerts, protocol sharing, and direct access to the founder. - r/BodyHackGuide: https://reddit.com/r/BodyHackGuide Research discussions, vendor reviews, compound deep-dives, community quality control. - r/BrainHackGuide: https://reddit.com/r/BrainHackGuide Nootropics, cognitive enhancement, and brain health protocols. - Twitter/X: https://x.com/bodyhackguide --- Contact --- Email: support@bodyhackguide.co Affiliate Disclosure: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/affiliate-disclosure Privacy Policy: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/privacy Terms of Service: https://www.bodyhackguide.co/terms ================================================================================ SECTION 10: GOAL-BASED COMPOUND PAGES ================================================================================ BodyHackGuide organizes compounds by research goal.
