Every compound has a protocol

More than 7,000 peptides occur in nature. These are the ones we work with — each entry carries its chemical formula and sequence, then the full reconstitution, storage, administration, dosing and titration sheet from the Broaddus Scientific Group protocol library. The second shelf is the Cognitive Compound Index: prescription drugs, research compounds and supplements sorted by what they are, what they do, and where each stands with the FDA.

Reading the status column — Rx: FDA-approved, legal only with a prescription filled at a licensed U.S. pharmacy; ordering from overseas sites without one is illegal importation, and modafinil and armodafinil are DEA Schedule IV. Schedule I: no lawful retail channel. Not approved: no FDA-approved product; sold as "research use only", which means not for human consumption. Gray area: sold as a supplement, but the ingredient's status is unsettled. Dietary supplement: lawful to sell; not FDA-reviewed for effectiveness. Status is as of October 2026. This index is reference only and not medical advice; dosing is deliberately left out, and several compounds interact with prescription drugs (methylene blue is an MAO inhibitor; tadalafil must never be combined with nitrates).

Formulas and masses are reference values for the free peptide (acetate salts weigh more); sequences use one-letter codes where the peptide is unmodified. Protocol sheets are general reference information for laboratory research use only — not for human or veterinary use, and not a prescription or compounding instruction.
