How to read an answer

• Interaction warnings come first, when a compound you asked about may interact with a medication or condition in your profile. See Interaction warnings.
• Evidence at a glance answers a question like "does BPC-157 help tendons heal?" in two to four rows, such as animal studies, human studies, and safety. Each row has a one-word verdict: Established, Promising, Mixed, Insufficient, or Uncertain, and a sentence on what the studies found. On every plan, on the web. The iPhone and Android apps do not show it yet.
• A compound profile sums up one compound: its category, whether it is approved or research only, key facts, and how it works. On Research and Frontier.
• A comparison sets two or more compounds side by side. On Research and Frontier.
• A studied protocol shows how a compound was dosed in one named source, phase by phase. On every plan, on the web and on Android; the iPhone app gives the same research in the written answer. See Studied protocol cards, and what they are not.
• A reconstitution result shows the syringe math for a vial. See Use the reconstitution calculator.
• A profile update appears when you mention something about yourself, like a medication, and ChatPEP saves it. It has an Undo button. See How ChatPEP updates your profile from a chat.

• The answer comes first. A question about the evidence opens with a one-sentence answer in bold. Context and caveats follow it.
• Findings are numbered. In a longer answer, each finding has its own heading, with an icon for the kind of study, or on the web, a figure from the paper. See Sources and citations.
• Tables have no box. A wide table scrolls sideways on a narrow screen.
• Citations appear as small chips at the ends of sentences. Select one to see the study or page behind the claim. See Sources and citations.
• The evidence level is stated. Answers say whether a finding comes from human trials or from animal and lab studies. A mechanism can be well understood and still have little human data behind it.
• Doses belong to the research. When an answer mentions a dose, it describes what a study used. It is not a suggestion for you. See Research only: what that means.
• A follow-up question closes most answers. Reply to it, select the card under the answer on the web, or ask your own. See Suggested follow-up questions.

A status line shows what ChatPEP is working on. To end an answer early, select Stop generating on the web, or tap Stop on iPhone and on Android.

The buttons appear once the answer is complete.

After you regenerate, arrows next to the buttons (Previous version and Next version) move between the versions, and a count like 2/2 shows which one you are reading. Regenerating does not use a message from your daily limit.

The line beneath the message box says it plainly: "ChatPEP can make mistakes. Check important info. For research only." For anything that matters to you, open the sources, and talk to a qualified healthcare provider before acting on what you read.
