pepmg summarizes the peer-reviewed literature and links to every source. It sells nothing and ships nothing. Where an FDA label, a peer-reviewed study or a clinical-trial registry entry (labeled trial registry, not peer-reviewed) has published a dose, pepmg reports it with the source named; it gives no personalized recommendations and no administration technique. Don't just trust this summary: follow the citation to its source and read it yourself. Research use only.
