How We Research & Cite

Our research library is built to a laboratory-reference standard: sourced from primary literature, tied to authoritative chemical databases, and written to describe what compounds are and what they have been studied in relation to — never what they do in humans.

01 — Sourcing

Where our information comes from

Every article draws on primary, peer-reviewed scientific literature and authoritative chemical and biological databases. Molecular data — formulas, molecular weights, sequences, and identifiers — are taken from established references such as PubChem and the published literature indexed in PubMed.

We do not source content from marketing pages, vendor descriptions, or unattributed secondary summaries.

02 — Citation

Every article shows its references

Each entry in the library closes with a Selected References section listing the primary literature it draws from, so any reader can trace a statement back to its source. Molecular and technical figures are presented as a structured profile rather than prose, making them straightforward to verify against the underlying databases.

03 — What we describe

Identity and mechanism, not outcomes

Our articles describe a compound's chemical identity, its named molecular targets and pathways, the model systems it has been studied in, and its laboratory handling and stability. They describe results reported in laboratory and animal models only.

They do not describe effects in humans, and they do not make health, disease, or performance claims. This is a deliberate editorial line: the library is a factual reference, not promotional material.

All content describes molecular targets and results in laboratory and animal models only — not effects in humans — and is not evidence of any human benefit.

04 — Research use only

What "Research Use Only" means here

All products referenced across this site are supplied strictly for legitimate laboratory research and development. They are not intended for human or animal consumption, and none have been approved, cleared, or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any human use. Where a compound has an approved drug counterpart, our articles name that counterpart neutrally and distinguish it clearly from the research-grade material.

05 — Verification

Independent third-party testing

Product identity and purity are substantiated by independent, third-party laboratory testing. Certificates of Analysis are published so that the material a researcher receives can be verified against what is advertised.

06 — Accuracy & corrections

Review, corrections, and updates

Articles are reviewed against their primary sources for factual accuracy and compliance before publication, and revised as the published literature evolves or when an error is identified. If you find something you believe is inaccurate, we want to know — email [email protected] and we will review it.
