Safety & boundaries

Where we stop is as important as where we start.

Most of the harm in this category comes from blurred lines — sellers who imply they're a clinic, labels that imply a diagnosis, vials that imply a prescription. Peppies draws the lines in daylight. Here is exactly what we are, and exactly what we are not.

Read this first

Peppies does not prescribe, diagnose, or replace a doctor. We sell legal consumer products, education, tracking, verification, and protocol support.

The boundaries

Nine lines we don't cross.

No fine print, no asterisks that take it back. Each line below is a promise about what Peppies will and won't do for you.

01

Peppies does not prescribe.

We don't write prescriptions, issue dosing instructions, or tell you how much of anything to take. Our products ship as finished consumer goods with their own usage directions on the label — the same as any cosmetic or supplement. Anything that needs a prescription needs an independent qualified professional, not us.

02

Peppies does not diagnose.

The quiz, the Passport, and your logged trends are tracking and education tools — not a diagnosis. A skin score is not a dermatology report; a weight trend is not a metabolic work-up. We help you measure and notice. We never tell you what condition you have, or that you don't have one.

03

Peppies does not sell research chemicals.

Everything on our shelf is a finished, labelled consumer product — cosmetic, topical, or supplement — made to be used as sold. We do not sell “for research use only” vials, grey-market powders, or anything dressed up as not-for-human-use. If a thing can only be sold by pretending it won't be used, we don't sell it.

04

Compendium items may be education or watchlist only.

The Compendium is a library, not a catalogue. Many profiles in it are there to be read and understood, not bought from Peppies. A molecule appearing in the Compendium is never an offer to sell it — look for the tier label on each profile, and assume education first.

05

Prescription and investigational compounds are not sold by Peppies.

Some compounds you'll read about are prescription-only medicines or still under investigation. We may explain what they are and track outcomes you report, but we do not sell, supply, source, or broker them. Obtaining them is between you and an independent qualified professional, under the rules where you live.

06

For medical questions, speak with an independent qualified professional.

If a question is about your health — what's safe for you, whether something interacts with your medication, what a result means — that question belongs with an independent qualified professional who can examine you. Our concierge, coaches, and content can point you toward good questions; they cannot answer the medical ones for you.

07

Tested athletes must check sports and anti-doping rules independently.

If you compete under WADA or any sport's anti-doping code, the responsibility to check every ingredient is yours, not ours. Some actives we sell — and many in the Compendium — are prohibited in or out of competition. Verify against your sport's current list before you use anything, every season.

08

Results vary; nothing here is a guaranteed outcome.

The charts, testimonials, and example trends across the site show what some members logged — not what you will get. Bodies, baselines, adherence, and genetics differ. We promise an honest system and real support; we cannot promise a number on the scale or a date on the calendar.

09

No emergency support — for urgent symptoms, call your local emergency services.

Peppies is not a crisis line and is not monitored for emergencies. If you have urgent or severe symptoms — chest pain, trouble breathing, a severe allergic reaction, thoughts of harming yourself — stop and call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department now. Come back to us afterward.

In an emergency, don't wait on us.

For urgent or severe symptoms, call your local emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department. Peppies cannot help in a medical emergency.

Privacy is a boundary too

Private front. Full identity on scan. Emergency identity under peel-back.

The bottle on your shelf says almost nothing — a serif logotype, a glyph, a lot number. Point the app at the PepCode cap and the full product identity blooms for you alone. The peel-back layer under the label carries only what a first responder would need.

Private front No name, no actives, no dose printed where anyone can read it.
On scan Full identity, batch certificate, and refill status — shown only in your app.
Peel-back An emergency identity layer for responders, under the label, when it matters.
The QR / NFC Holds a random token only — never your personal or health data.

Now that the lines are clear

Read the science, then find your fit.

The Compendium is where the boundaries get specific — every molecule read line by line, honest about the evidence and labelled by tier. When you're ready to translate that into a plan, the suitability audit takes it from there.

Nothing on this page is medical advice. Speak with an independent qualified professional before making medical decisions.
