Legalizing Proactive Health.

The national observational registry for peptide and regenerative therapy, under independent IRB oversight. Licensed clinicians join free, sign here in four minutes, and submit de-identified outcomes. Every record builds the evidence that keeps this medicine in the open.

Why this exists

Regulators act on evidence. Build it.

The therapies are already in clinics. Clinicians across the country use peptides and regenerative treatments every day. Almost none of what they see is recorded in a form anyone can study.

Silence is the risk. Without real-world data on dose, source, outcome and safety, every decision about these therapies gets made without the people who use them.

The registry is the record. Validated instruments, lot-level traceability and adverse-event reporting, sealed in a ledger nobody can quietly edit. Evidence that holds up.

Three steps, all here

Read. Sign. Submit data.

Everything happens on this site. No account with any company, no purchase, no fee.

Plain terms

What the registry is, and is not.

The registry is

  • Observational. It documents what treating clinicians already do.
  • Overseen by an independent IRB for data collection and participant protection.
  • Voluntary for every site and every participant, with withdrawal at any time.
  • Built for evidence: validated instruments, lot traceability, safety reporting.

The registry is not

  • Approval of any product, dose or protocol. Nothing here is "IRB approved."
  • FDA approval, clearance or endorsement, or protection from any legal claim.
  • A condition of buying anything, from anyone.
  • A reason to market to patients.

Support the registry

Legalizing proactive health is not free, cheap or easy.

Joining costs a clinic nothing, and it never will. Running the registry does: secure infrastructure, independent IRB oversight, safety review, analysis and publication. Mortensen Medical is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and pays for all of it with gifts and book sales.

Beyond the registry

The ecosystem.

Separate from the registry. Nothing here is part of participation, participation never requires a purchase, and a site's choices here are never used in registry decisions. Clinical supply, white label, SHERPA and Killer Health are separate, for-profit companies.

The people

Who runs the registry.

Oversight of participant protection belongs to the IRCM Institutional Review Board, which is independent of the sponsor. No IRB member is on this team.
