The essential idea

Five claims.
Five different standards.

A peptide found in the body, a biomarker association, an animal result, a completed human trial, and FDA approval are not interchangeable forms of evidence.

Compound index01

Identify the exact molecule before comparing claims.

Each file separates identity and aliases, mechanism, preclinical findings, human evidence, trial status, regulatory status, safety, and unknowns.

A disciplined evidence path

From molecule to supported conclusion.

Every claim is tied to the type of study that can actually support it.

  1. 01

    Identify the molecule

    Separate endogenous peptides, synthetic analogues, targeting peptides, and approved products.

  2. 02

    Locate the evidence level

    Distinguish cell and animal experiments from observational human studies and intervention trials.

  3. 03

    Check the human endpoint

    Ask whether a study measured a biomarker, a surrogate endpoint, function, symptoms, or clinical outcomes.

  4. 04

    Verify regulatory status

    Separate trial registration, advisory review, accelerated approval, and full approval for a defined indication.

Mechanism is not clinical proof.

A plausible mitochondrial target can justify research, but it cannot establish human benefit, long-term safety, or an approved indication on its own.
