Methodology & sources

Where the information in the compound library comes from, and how it is kept honest.

This site does not invent dosing information. Every dosing range, reconstitution instruction, and clinical reference shown is drawn from publicly available sources cited on this page or on the relevant compound’s detail page.

The compound library spans supplements, vitamins, minerals, FDA-approved medications and injectables, and research peptides. Different categories call for different sources, so each entry is built from the most authoritative public reference available for that type of compound.

FDA prescribing information

For FDA-approved medications, dosing ranges, routes, and safety information are taken from official approved labeling in the Drugs@FDA database.

DailyMed, run by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, provides the current, structured product labeling we use to keep approved-medication entries up to date.

Peer-reviewed clinical literature

For peptides and other compounds that are not FDA-approved, information comes from peer-reviewed studies indexed on PubMed, attributed to named authors. Where the published evidence is limited, the entry says so plainly. Some research peptides — particularly Russian-origin compounds like Semax and Selank — draw heavily from Russian-language literature that is not indexed in PubMed; entries for those compounds note this gap directly. Research compounds require explicit opt-in to view in the app.

For vitamins and minerals, intake ranges and interactions are drawn from the fact sheets published by the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.

Reconstitution calculator scope

The reconstitution calculator displays all peptide options regardless of opt-in status because it functions as a math tool rather than a tracking interface. Compound names appear for calculation purposes only. No tracking, dose logging, or protocol creation involving research compounds occurs without explicit opt-in to research mode.

What this means in practice

Each compound’s detail page lists the specific sources behind its content. When a reliable, published number does not exist — which is common for research peptides — the entry omits it rather than guessing, and recommends you consult your prescriber. STACK Tracker does not sell, source, prescribe, or recommend vendors for any compound.
