01 Current
PepMD
PepMD is an independent standards body developing the credentialing and trust infrastructure for peptide medicine.
PepMD exists so that anyone treating or being treated with peptides can tell the difference between what is legal and what is trustworthy. We credential the clinicians, recognize the pharmacies, and authorize the research sites under a single standard, so that qualification is verifiable rather than assumed.
02 Functions
01
Clinical credentialing
PepMD credentials providers and prescribers who work with peptides. Credentialing reviews a clinician's license standing, training, and prescribing practice against a published standard, so that a clinician's qualification to work with peptides can be checked rather than taken on trust.
02
Pharmacy recognition
PepMD recognizes compounding pharmacies. Recognition examines how a pharmacy sources material, documents its processes, and tests what it dispenses, so that the quality decisions behind a compounded peptide are visible to the clinicians and patients who depend on them.
03
Research site authorization
PepMD authorizes IRB-governed research sites. Authorization confirms that a site operates under institutional review board oversight and follows a documented protocol, so that peptide research conducted at that site can be identified as governed research.
03 Standard
PepMD is the standard for peptide medicine, and recognition under it means qualification is verifiable rather than assumed.
