Featured Compounds

Creatine Monohydrate

foundational · most studied supplement in history
Muscle 9.5 Evidence 9.8 Cost A+ Risk Minimal
The placebo effect for creatine is so well-documented that researchers now use it as a control benchmark for other supplements. The real effect is still larger.
9.8
OVERALL

Whey Protein Isolate

protein · filtered · low lactose · fast absorbing
Muscle 9.2 Digestibility 9.4 Convenience A
Whey triggers a faster, higher spike in muscle protein synthesis than any other protein source — which is why timing relative to training actually matters for this one specifically.
9.2
OVERALL

Testosterone Cypionate

testosterone family · long ester · weekly dosing
Muscle 9.5 Monitoring High Risk Moderate
Testosterone doesn't build muscle directly. It signals your DNA to produce more protein synthesis machinery. You're not adding fuel — you're upgrading the engine that makes the fuel.
8.8
OVERALL

BPC-157

peptide · recovery · gut lining · tendon repair
Recovery 9.0 Research Growing Human Data Limited
BPC-157 was originally discovered in human gastric juice. The "BPC" stands for Body Protection Compound — a name earned from how aggressively it appears to accelerate healing in animal models.
8.4
OVERALL

Semaglutide

metabolic peptide · GLP-1 agonist · fat loss
Fat Loss 9.5 Muscle Loss Risk Cost Variable
GLP-1 receptors exist in your brain, not just your gut. Semaglutide's appetite suppression isn't a side effect — it's the primary mechanism. You're changing the signal, not the stomach.
8.6
OVERALL

Vitamin D3

foundational · deficiency extremely common
Longevity 9.0 Evidence 9.0 Cost A+
Vitamin D is technically a hormone, not a vitamin. It activates over 1,000 genes in the human body. Calling it a supplement undersells what you're actually correcting when you're deficient.
9.0
OVERALL
CREATINE · SCORE_BREAKDOWN
HUMAN_TRANSLATION
Your muscles run on ATP. Creatine is a direct ATP precursor. More creatine = more fuel = more output. Think of it as filling a gas tank that was always supposed to be full.
Bro Code
"Buying seven pre-workouts before buying creatine is like buying racing stripes before buying an engine."
Bro Code
"If your supplement cabinet requires its own ZIP code, simplify."

FEATURED_MARKER · TESTOSTERONE
Testosterone
Primary anabolic hormone. Produced in the testes, adrenal glands, and ovaries. Critical for muscle, bone density, libido, mood, and metabolic health. Measured as total and free fractions.
Human Translation
Think of testosterone as the chief construction foreman. It doesn't build muscle itself — it signals the body to build, repair, and maintain. Low T means the foreman called in sick. Everything slows down, and nobody knows exactly why.
Medical View
Normal 300–1000 ng/dL. Below 300 may warrant evaluation. Symptoms matter as much as numbers. Context over absolutes.
Athlete View
Optimized range 500–900 ng/dL for performance. Free testosterone often matters more than total. Training, sleep, and body fat all move the needle.
Research View
No universal optimal. Age, lifestyle, stress, and composition interact. The relationship between T levels and outcomes is nonlinear and highly individual.
