How to use Pepdex — site tour for new visitors

Pepdex has a lot of pages. Here's the five-minute tour so you can find everything fast.

The Index — your peptide catalog

Browse all 65 peptides. Filter by:

• Type — healing, fat loss, GH-axis, etc.
• Evidence — Strong / Moderate / Limited / Anecdotal
• Status — FDA Approved / Compounding Cat 1 / Investigational / Research only

Click any entry to open the full page — plain English summary, regulatory status, quick facts (half-life, route, cycle, schedule), timeline, and (for members) full mechanism + dose protocol + side effects + interactions + community patterns + owner notes.

Guides — the educational layer

Guides hub is organized into three sections:

• Start here: A-Z Beginner Guide and Glossary.
• Knowledge & safety: Safety, COA Education, Evidence Tiers, Blends.
• How-to references: Reconstitution, Injection, Storage, Bloodwork, Cycling, Half-life, Stacking, Scam vendors, Insulin syringe, Administration routes, Myths, Realistic timelines, First-cycle FAQ.

Every guide is free. Every guide cross-links to the relevant peptide pages and other guides.

The Calculator — reconstitution math

Calculator is the tool that converts vial mg + bac water mL + your target dose into exact units to draw on a 1 mL insulin syringe.

Walks through five steps: pick a peptide → vial size (highlights recommended) → bac water (highlights recommended for clean math) → process diagram → result panel + dose lookup. Members can click "Add to Stack" to push the calculation directly to their Personal Stack.

The calculator is mostly free. The "Add to Stack" button is the only paid feature.

Personal Stack — track what you're running

Personal Stack is your tracker. Log peptide, dose, frequency, start date, vial setup. The AI Coach reads this on every message — so when you ask "is my dose normal," it answers using YOUR numbers.

Currently the stack persists in your browser. When auth ships, it'll persist server-side and sync across devices.

AI Coach — stack-aware peptide assistant

AI Coach is the Pepdex chatbot. Reads your Personal Stack on every message. Knowledgeable-friend voice, plain English, no fluff.

Ask it: "is my BPC-157 dose typical," "what's the half-life of CJC-1295," "should I run BPC and TB-500 together." Don't ask: anything specific to your medical history that needs clinical judgment.

Members only.

News — peptide updates that matter

News curates current peptide news from primary sources — FDA notices, manufacturer press releases, peer-reviewed studies, trusted outlets. Refreshed weekly via automated scraping, with summaries written in plain user-facing language.

Every news item links directly to the source. We don't editorialize regulatory content; we don't accept vendor sponsorship.

Free.

What's free vs paid

Membership

$7.99/mo or $80/yr. Cancel anytime. Welcome packet emailed at signup.

The membership pricing model is intentional. Sub-$10 is in the "auto-debit, don't think about it" range — better churn than higher-priced content subs. Annual at $80 is $6.67/mo equivalent — locks in stickiness.

We don't sell peptides. We don't take vendor sponsorship. The membership is the only revenue source, which keeps incentives aligned with member value rather than vendor pressure.

How to use Pepdex efficiently

If you're new: A-Z Beginner Guide → pick a goal → open the matching peptide entry → read the timeline → check the FAQ → bookmark the Calculator.

If you've used peptides before: Index → filter by category → check the comparison page if relevant → sign up for AI Coach + Stack tools.

If you're researching: News + Evidence Tiers + COA Education are the trust-building pages. Read these before you order anything from a vendor you haven't used.

Questions, feedback, or issues

Email links and contact details will be added to this page when the membership wiring goes live. For now, the Pepdex content is what's here, plus the AI Coach when you're a member.
