1. Not Medical Advice

All content on the PeptideIQ SA website — including product pages, School of Peptide guides, calculator tools, diet plan outputs, bundle descriptions, and all other material — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or dosing instruction for any compound.

Do not rely on any content on this website as a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about your health, supplementation, or use of any compound.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Using this website, completing any form, using any tool, or communicating with PeptideIQ SA — including via email or the contact form — does not create a doctor-patient, pharmacist-patient, or any other professional healthcare relationship. PeptideIQ SA is not a healthcare provider.

3. Research Peptide Products

Products sold by PeptideIQ SA are supplied strictly for research and educational purposes only. They are not registered medicines with SAHPRA (South African Health Products Regulatory Authority) and are not approved for human use, administration, or consumption.

Specifically:

• Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition
• We do not provide dosing instructions, administration protocols, or usage guidance for any compound, under any circumstances
• We do not recommend or imply that any product is safe or appropriate for human self-administration
• Some compounds in our range may be restricted, scheduled, or prohibited under South African law or WADA anti-doping regulations — you are responsible for understanding the regulations applicable to your situation
• Research peptides may have limited human clinical data. Educational content on this site summarises available research and does not constitute an endorsement of safety or efficacy

4. BMR Calculator Tool

The PeptideIQ SA BMR and TDEE Calculator is a general informational tool only. It performs standard mathematical calculations (Mifflin-St Jeor formula) and outputs estimates based on user-entered data. Calculator outputs:

• Are estimates only — individual metabolic rates vary significantly
• Are not personalised medical or nutritional advice
• Are not dosing guidance or a recommendation to use any specific compound
• Should not be used to determine any course of medical treatment or self-administration

Peptide suggestions generated by the calculator are educational starting points for research orientation — not prescriptions or clinical recommendations.

5. Diet Plan Generator

Diet plans generated by the PeptideIQ SA Diet Plan Lab are general informational outputs based on user-entered goals and preferences. Generated plans:

• Are not personalised clinical nutrition plans
• Are not a substitute for advice from a registered dietitian, biokinetician, or physician
• Are not medical prescriptions or treatment plans
• Should be treated as general guidance only — individual nutritional needs vary

6. Emergency Situations

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately. South Africa: 10177 (ambulance) or 112 (universal emergency). Do not use this website in an emergency situation.

7. South African Regulatory Context

PeptideIQ SA operates within the framework of South African law, including the Medicines and Related Substances Act (Act 101 of 1965, as amended) and SAHPRA guidelines. The legal status of research peptides in South Africa sits in a grey area:

• Most compounds in our range are not registered medicines and are not available via prescription
• They are not part of the Essential Medicines List
• Possession of an unregistered medicine for self-administration may be interpreted as a contravention of the Act
• You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all laws applicable to your use of any product

PeptideIQ SA does not provide legal advice. If you are uncertain about the regulatory position of any compound in your jurisdiction, seek independent legal advice.

8. Limitation of Liability

PeptideIQ SA, its directors, employees, and associates accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss or damage arising from use of this website, reliance on any content, or use of any product purchased from this website for any purpose other than legitimate research.
