Disclosures
An evidence reference funded by people with commercial interests in the industry only works if the conflict is stated plainly and the separation is real. Here is ours.
Last substantively reviewed 2026-07-31
Ownership and funding
SARMS Institute is owned and funded privately by parties who hold existing commercial interests in the wider supplement and performance-nutrition industry. This is a genuine conflict of interest and we state it here rather than leaving it to be discovered.
What that conflict does not buy
- No compound sales. This site does not sell SARMs, peptides, or any research compound.
- No affiliate revenue on compounds. We do not earn commission on the sale of any compound discussed here.
- No paid placement. No vendor has paid for coverage, tone, prominence, or an evidence grade, and no vendor can.
- No vendor review of drafts. Commercially interested parties do not see or approve evidence pages before publication.
Why we publish this anyway
The obvious objection is that a site funded from inside the industry cannot be trusted to report on it. That objection is reasonable. Our answer is not to claim independence we cannot prove — it is to make the record checkable. Every claim is cited to a primary source you can verify without us, the grading rules are published in advance on the methodology page, and every correction is logged in public.
Judge the pages against their sources. That test does not require trusting anyone's motives.
Editorial firewall
Evidence grades are set according to the published methodology and are not subject to commercial input. Where a compound with commercial significance to our owners carries a poor evidence grade or a documented safety signal, the page says so in the same terms it would for any other compound.
Reader-facing commercial content
This site currently carries no advertising and no sponsored content. If that changes, sponsored material will be labelled as such on the page and this section updated before it appears.
Accreditation status
We are not currently accredited by any health-information body, and we do not display badges we have not earned. Formal registration and identifier assignment are in progress; the footer shows their status honestly as pending rather than implying they exist.
