About Shark Tides
We're an independent research team with one goal: translate the peer-reviewed peptide science into clear, accurate, actionable protocols — without the hype, gatekeeping, or bro-science that dominates most corners of this space.
Making Peptide Science Accessible
Peptide research has accelerated dramatically over the last decade. Compounds like BPC-157, TB-500, Epithalon, and the GLP-1 agonist family are attracting serious academic attention — yet the publicly available information remains fragmented across paywalled journals, Reddit threads, and vendor marketing copy that confuses rather than informs.
Shark Tides exists to close that gap. We read the studies, extract the clinically relevant details, and write guides that a motivated non-specialist can actually use: accurate dosing windows, mechanistic explanations, stacking rationale, and honest uncertainty disclosures where the evidence is thin.
We are nota medical practice and nothing on this site constitutes medical advice. Our role is to surface and explain the science — your physician's role is to help you apply it safely to your individual circumstances.
Our Research Methodology
Every guide published on Shark Tides follows the same evidence-evaluation framework. Here's exactly how we verify what we write.
Peer-Reviewed Sources Only
Every protocol claim is traced back to published research — PubMed-indexed studies, clinical trials, or systematic reviews. We cite our sources in-line so you can verify anything we write.
Dosing Based on Human Data
Where human trials exist we use them. Where only animal data exists we say so explicitly, apply appropriate extrapolation caveats, and flag the uncertainty in plain language.
Regular Content Audits
Peptide research moves fast. We review existing guides when new studies are published and update dosing, contraindication, and stacking information accordingly.
No Hype, No Anecdote-as-Evidence
User anecdotes and community reports inform which topics we cover, but they never serve as evidence for efficacy claims. We keep speculation clearly labelled.
A note on study quality: We distinguish between in-vitro (cell culture), in-vivo (animal), and human trial data throughout our guides. Animal data informs hypotheses — it does not confirm human outcomes. Where the evidence hierarchy matters we call it out explicitly rather than burying the caveat in fine print.
Why We Recommend Our Supplier
We evaluated multiple vendors against a checklist of non-negotiable quality criteria before linking to any product. Our recommended supplier cleared every bar — here's the specific evidence.
- Third-party HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) purity testing on every batch
- Mass spectrometry verification confirming molecular identity of each peptide
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) available for every product — no request needed
- Lyophilized powder shipped with desiccant for stability in transit
- US-based customer support with peptide-knowledgeable staff
- Consistent re-order experience — same lot quality over repeated purchases
Purity testing methodology matters because peptide synthesis regularly produces truncated sequences, oxidised residues, and racemised amino acids that are biologically inert or actively harmful. HPLC + mass spec together confirm both purity percentage and molecular identity — neither alone is sufficient.
How We Stay Independent
Shark Tides is an independent research publication. Every protocol, dosing guide, and compound analysis on this site is produced from primary literature — PubMed studies, clinical trial data, and pharmacological research. No vendor pays for coverage or placement.
Where we link to products, we have evaluated vendors against non-negotiable quality criteria: third-party HPLC purity testing, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and per-batch Certificates of Analysis. A vendor that fails these criteria does not appear on this site, regardless of any commercial relationship.
The research and guides on Shark Tides are free and always will be. Our editorial positions are formed independently of any commercial relationship — if quality standards change, our recommendations change with them.
Medical Disclaimer
The content published on Shark Tides is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any peptide protocol, especially if you have existing health conditions, take prescription medications, or are pregnant or nursing.
Many peptides discussed on this site are research chemicals. Their legal status varies by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws applicable in your location.
Individual results vary. The studies cited represent population-level findings — they do not guarantee any specific outcome for any individual user. We present the evidence as accurately as we can; we cannot predict how a given compound will affect you personally.
