Physician reviewing research

Vanguard Optimization provides physician-led, evidence-based educational research summaries only. We do not sell, prescribe, or recommend any peptides, hormones, supplements, medications, or medical services through this platform. The AI assistant is not a physician. It does not diagnose, prescribe, create individualized treatment plans, or tell you what you personally should take. For individualized decisions involving medications, dosing, hormones, lab results, symptoms, contraindications, or drug interactions — consult a licensed clinician.

Inside Vanguard

The evidence, and the tools to use it.

400+ searchable monographs, rated by evidence.

Plain-language summaries on peptides, hormones, supplements, physical interventions, and pharmaceuticals — each rated by how strong the evidence really is: randomized trial, observational, animal study, or anecdote.

Your stack, checked against the latest research.

Enter everything you take. Vanguard re-checks it against newly published research — monthly on Optimized, weekly on Vanguard — and flags what changes the picture on something already in your regimen.

A research assistant that works from the evidence.

Ask a real question and get an answer built on the same evidence standard as the monographs — graded, cited, and clear about what is and isn’t known.

Updates as the field moves.

New peptides, supplements, and protocols hit the market constantly. We track what’s emerging and tell you what the evidence supports — so what you know never goes stale.

Built by a practicing physician. No supplement line, no proprietary blends, nothing to sell you. Just the evidence.

How it works

What you can expect from every monograph

The Vanguard standard

Dose, form, timing, and what to expect — the practical detail, not just the theory
Who should be careful, what to check first, and when to see a physician instead
Updated when the evidence moves, so what you know never goes stale
