About PepBank
PepBank is a free database of peptide research. It shows what published studies and registered trials found, and it links each result to its source. It is for people who use peptides and for people who study them.
Where the results come from
An AI model reads each study and writes down its results, with the exact sentence that each result comes from. Software and a second AI model check every result before it appears on the site. AI can make mistakes, so check important results against the source. How PepBank works explains each step.
Report a mistake
If a result looks wrong, use the “Report a problem” link on the result, or send us a message. A link to the study helps. When a report is right, we correct or remove the result, and the change appears in the changelog.
Reusing the data
You can reuse PepBank data under the CC BY 4.0 license, also for commercial use. Credit PepBank and link to the license. Abstracts and quotes from articles keep the license of the article. Open data has the details.

Health decisions
PepBank shows what studies found and what people say they use. It cannot tell you what is right for you. A result in animals or cells does not show that the same thing happens in people, and a dose in a result is the dose that one study used.
Talk to a doctor or another qualified clinician before you use any peptide.
PepBank is run by Mira Labs LLC. PepBank and Curo have the same owner. PepBank links to Curo on product pages.
