How are peptide evidence levels determined?

PeptideScholar uses a four-tier evidence grading system: Level A (FDA Approved) indicates robust clinical evidence and regulatory approval. Level B (Human Studies) means human clinical data exists but the peptide is not FDA approved for this indication. Level C (Preclinical) means only animal or in vitro studies are available. Level D (Limited Data) means very limited or no published evidence exists.
