how this works
Our method
Every dose on this site is tied to a source you can open. Here is what the tags mean, where the sources come from, and how each guide is checked.
These dosages are a helpful guide, not a prescription. Every clinician is expected to do their own due diligence before prescribing.
Evidence tiers
Every guide carries one tier, shown as a seal. It describes the strongest evidence that exists for the compound, not how well a dose is supported.
- FDA-approved product
An approved label exists for this molecule. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved.
- Controlled human trials
Randomized or controlled human studies exist.
- Limited human data
Open-label, pilot, pharmacokinetic, or case-level human data only.
- Preclinical only
Animal or cell data only. No established human dose.
Layer tags
Each figure carries a tag for the kind of source behind it. Headline doses, the ones in the at-a-glance card and the index, use only the first three, and clinic and community figures stay in their own section.
- Approved label
Taken from an FDA-approved label.
- Human study
Taken from a published human study.
- Clinical practice
Reported in a peer-reviewed review, guideline, or textbook of clinical practice.
- Clinic-reported
Published by a clinic, pharmacy, or professional-education site. Shown only in the published-ranges section.
- Community-reported
Published by a vendor or community guide. Shown only in the published-ranges section.
Sources
Sources are FDA-approved labels, PubMed records, regulator pages, and public clinical-practice pages. Vendor and community guides also appear. Anything taken from them is labeled Community-reported, wherever it shows up. PubMed records show their DOI link and are marked "According to PubMed".
How each guide was built
- 1Drafted from sources. Each guide starts from public labels, PubMed records, regulator pages, and public clinical-practice pages.
- 2Every figure audited against its source. A figure that cannot be matched to its source text is corrected or removed.
- 3A separate safety review. A second pass reads the draft for warnings, contraindications, and unit mix-ups.
- 4A cross-compound check of the highest-risk doses, so a figure that is safe for one compound is not carried to another.
- 5Editorial cleanup that cannot change a number. The wording is tightened; the figures are checked again afterward.
