Who publishes this

Aeternus Performance is published by Bryan Powell through Aeternus Performance LLC, a Virginia limited liability company founded on 3 January 2026. One person is responsible for what appears here. When something on this site is wrong, it is his to fix.

This matters more than a list of things I am, so it goes first.

I am not a physician, and I hold no clinical credential. Nothing here is medical advice, and no page on this site should be read as permission to do anything. If a compound discussed here interests you, the next conversation is with a licensed professional who knows your history, not with me.

I do not practise medicine, prescribe, dose, source, or supervise anyone. There is no clinic behind this and no consultation to book.

I sell nothing you ingest.No peptides, no supplements, no affiliate links to either, and no commission on anything discussed on this site. That is the whole reason the evidence sections can say “there is no human data” without it costing anything, and it is the single most important fact on this page.

This is not coaching. The purpose is to teach the judgment that makes a number or a study useful, not to program your training.

I got started because of Marine Corps culture and some phenomenal Marine leaders. What keeps me going is the discipline, the passion, the growth, the mental and physical health, seeing what the body is capable of, and a love for the sport.

I’ve served in the Marine Corps since 2008. The times I was tested most, at SERE, at SOF Fundamentals, and on two deployments to the Middle East, taught me the lesson that mattered most, and it wasn’t physical. The mind needs to be trained and looked after just like muscle. Most of the time we want to quit before we’re truly at our limit. Learning to push past the tiredness, past the voice saying it’s okay to give up, is where I grew the most.

Aeternus started with friends and family. I wanted them to have good, accurate information instead of bro science, and somewhere they could go that had no gimmicks and that they could trust. Not everything has to sit behind a paywall.

It’s written for people who want to be better: healthier, and stronger mentally, physically and spiritually.

I’m a Christian, and that is the honest reason this exists. I got started in fitness and health, and came to love the gym, because other people took the time to help me. Luke 6:31 says, “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Now it’s my turn to pay it back. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” It’s because of Christ that I’m able to keep doing what I love.

I write here in a personal capacity. Aeternus Performance is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the U.S. Marine Corps or the Department of Defense.

The performance and optimization space is not short of information. It is short of information about a compound written by someone who does not sell that compound. Almost every detailed page about a peptide is published by a company that also sells it, or by an affiliate paid when you buy one. That does not make those pages wrong. It does mean the incentive runs one direction, and it shows up in what gets emphasised and what quietly goes missing.

The gap this fills is narrow and specific: separate human trial evidence from animal work from anecdote, on every entry, without exception, and state plainly where the evidence stops. Currently that is 31 compounds and 197 reviewed sources, with regulatory status verified against primary sources and dated on every page.

The editorial standards page sets out the rules in full: the three evidence tiers, what counts as a source, how regulatory status is verified and dated, and how corrections are handled. The framework explains the thinking underneath it, and the mission explains why it is worth doing.

Research and drafting are assisted by software built for this purpose, with citation verification and editorial checks that run before anything publishes. Every claim traces to a source you can open and read yourself. The judgment about what publishes, and in what words, is mine.

No compound, brand, vendor, clinic or laboratory has paid for coverage here, and none has been offered any. There are no affiliate relationships and no sponsored entries. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on the affected page before you read a word of it, not in a footer.

The site carries privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics and nothing else. What is collected and why is set out in the privacy policy.

If something here is wrong, I want to know, and I would rather hear it bluntly than not at all. Regulatory status in particular moves faster than any review schedule, and a page that is right today can be stale in a month.
