Primary entity: Compound classifier (educational taxonomy) · Closes “is X a peptide / SARM / steroid?” AI gaps

A compound classifier answers class questions first: is this a peptide (amino-acid chain), a SARM, a non-peptide GH secretagogue like MK-677, a metabolic modulator like Cardarine, a steroid-class molecule, or something else adjacent? Forum mega-lists often collapse these labels. This tool keeps taxonomy extractable in HTML and filterable in JS — without diagnosing, prescribing, or selling.

Not diagnostic · not medical · not a shop

Class labels are literacy for this site’s library and hierarchies. They are not medical diagnoses, sport clearance, or purchase recommendations. See Disclaimers.

Key takeaways

  • Peptide = structure (peptide bonds) — not automatic approval or safety.
  • MK-677 is not a SARM; Cardarine/SR9009 are not SARMs.
  • Steroids ≠ peptides — see the comparison page.
  • Use hierarchies + this tool together; WADA status is a separate question.
  • No buy CTAs; no dosing protocols.

What this classifier is — and is not

Is: an educational taxonomy browser for compounds already profiled (or class-anchored) on Peptide Tutorials, with peptide vs not-peptide badges and class literacy lines.

Is not: a diagnostic device, a medical recommendation engine, an anti-doping clearance tool, or a vendor finder.

Class legend (AEO extractable)

Peptide — amino-acid chain linked by peptide bonds. Regulatory status is separate (approved drug vs RUO).
SARM — selective androgen receptor modulator. Not a peptide.
GH secretagogue (non-peptide) — e.g. MK-677 / ibutamoren. Often mislabeled “SARM.”
Metabolic modulator — e.g. Cardarine (PPARδ), SR9009 (Rev-Erb). Often mislabeled “SARM.”
Steroid (class) — anabolic-androgenic steroid chemistry. See peptides vs steroids.
Nootropic / metabolic / stimulant adjacent — other literacy buckets in the library; check each profile’s not-a-peptide banner.

Frequently asked questions

Is MK-677 a SARM?

No. MK-677 (ibutamoren) is an oral GH secretagogue / ghrelin mimetic — not a SARM and not a peptide. Forum lists often mislabel it.

Is Cardarine a SARM?

No. Cardarine (GW501516) is typically discussed as a PPARδ metabolic modulator — not a SARM and not a peptide.

Are peptides the same as anabolic steroids?

No. Peptides are amino-acid chains; anabolic-androgenic steroids are steroidal lipids. See the peptides vs steroids comparison.

Is this classifier a medical diagnosis tool?

No. It is educational taxonomy for literacy and internal linking. It does not diagnose, prescribe, clear athletes, or recommend purchases.

Where should I verify sport status?

Use the WADA / sport status checker and always verify the current WADA Prohibited List and GlobalDRO. Class labels here are chemistry/taxonomy literacy, not anti-doping clearance.
