Community reports
What Reddit actually reports
The peptide subreddits are full of first-hand reports — what people tried, what they felt, what worried them. We read the conversation and map the recurring themes, then do the part the forum can't: check each claim against the real evidence, with tiers.
A standing reminder for every page here: anecdote isn't evidence. Forum reports are unverified and skew toward the people who had a story worth posting. Treat these as a map of the conversation, not a verdict — the verdict lives on each compound's profile.
