Anthivera Editorial
The editorial team
Anthivera Editorial is the in-house team that writes and edits the publication. We're a small group of writers and editors focused on careful, women-specific coverage of peptide therapy.
We summarize evidence, label its strength honestly, and compare options — we don't diagnose, recommend, or prescribe. When a piece touches a clinical question, we send it to a licensed reviewer before publishing; those bylines appear alongside the author byline at the top of each article.
Tips, corrections, sources, or pushback are always welcome at hello@anthivera.com.
Disclosures
Anthivera Editorial does not hold equity, advisory roles, or paid relationships with any peptide compounding pharmacy or telehealth provider listed on the site. Affiliate relationships, when active, are disclosed at the page level and on the affiliate-disclosure page.
