Who keeps this archive
peptualpeptides.com is an independent personal research project. I write it alone, from public material only: community discussion, published literature and the documents that organisations publish about themselves. The site has no sponsor, no advertising relationship with anyone it writes about, and no financial interest, direct or indirect, in any company mentioned.
Two names appear on every entry because two roles exist. <a href="/about/#mara-voss">Mara Voss</a>, founding editor, reads the public threads behind each entry and writes the first draft. <a href="/about/#idris-kalve">Idris Kalve</a>, literature reviewer, checks each summary against the source it cites and removes anything that outruns its evidence.
The editorial roles
<b id="mara-voss">Mara Voss - founding editor.</b> Background in life-science writing and technical documentation. Mara's standing rule is that a claim repeated often is still a claim, and that a study result is still only a study result.
<b id="idris-kalve">Idris Kalve - literature reviewer.</b> Background in biochemistry literature appraisal. Idris reviews every entry before publication, with one instruction: keep the caveats as readable as the content around them.
How the three layers are separated
Every entry distinguishes community claims from public documents from published literature. Community opinion is summarised as what people say, never as what is true. Public material - listings, company pages, regulator notices - is described as documents. Academic background is cited through neutral search links at the foot of each page rather than paraphrased into conclusions.
The separation is the whole method. It is why this site can discuss a phrase that circulates widely without ever asserting what that phrase means in practice, and why some pages here are deliberately short on answers: the honest position on some questions is that the public record does not settle them.
Corrections and update rhythm
Entries carry an update date in the byline and are revisited when the public record materially changes. Corrections are applied to the text and, when they change a filed claim type, noted in the entry itself rather than quietly rewritten.
The privacy page describes what the site measures and how to switch measurement off. The disclaimer page describes the scope limits that govern every entry.
