@everlyashby Yes it did. It was a short term side effect. Maybe two weeks.

OMG! I'm so glad this thread came up in the Community Digest! LMAO! I think I'll follow the video made for Randy and dilute the hell out of this compound, at least at first. Sounds like top portion of the bum is the stick-it-to-me place to start. Good to know about DMSO (w/o scent, still works well), an old remedy that I always have on hand. So many people are very chronically ill and it's just sad how we're treated. In the 13 yrs. of on/off tx for Lyme + 3 co-infections with it (Babesia, Bartonella & Mycoplasma), the drugs ruptured my appendix and 5 ft. of gut (wore a poop bags 6 mos.), took out my left hip, leaving my left thigh noticeably smaller than my right, but stronger bc of titanium, both upper thighs w/stage 2 Lipedema (getting better a bit), walked w/a cane 5 years but no cane now, 6 weeks hospitalized during the process with waves of seizures & lost 50# (no GLP needed) because the sugar laden, slimy grease they call food they expect you to eat just made me sicker at the sight of it. Other than the times in surgery/recovery, I worked full-time, the entire 13 yrs., Insurance wouldn't pay for much, so there went my entire savings, and I now work full-time at a crazy-assed Sr. Living Community, (that costs a few million just to buy into) to supplement SS. When my time comes, it's hospice for me, and pray it's faster than those on dozens of drugs trying to stay alive. As with peptides, Lyme and others, there's always going to be naysayers, to the point of radical reactions, and I've learned all I can do is look at them kindly with a faint smile & think to myself, "You'll find out. If you live long enough, you will find out". Thank you for allowing me to write this book this morning. I'm by myself finally and spent a lot of the weekend with naysayers all around me, and them wondering why I'm not saying a word to them... They'll find out. If Jeff wants to remove this post, I understand; it's merely my emotional release before going back to the 8-5 asylum tomorrow.

Are you using AOD solo? It needs to be paired with something like Reta as it's a fat mobilizer and you need to practice fasting or you'll get nothing from it. Very common mistake and then people report AOD sucks. Well...you didn't use utilize it correctly.

A peer’s mainstream source has dropped coverage, and cannot afford to continue using name brand research products. He also has Parkinson’s and can’t do the whole recon/pen fill workflows. I just got him a kit of P2, and I told him I’d help with the workflows. I’ve read the wonderful article on this site about empirical compound quality over time, but I’m interested in the effects on the compound when it’s in a pen cartridge, not just the original vial. I want to fill multiple carts at a time for him, but I’m thinking I can only do 2 at a time. Tirz was solid in the fridge for 60 days (~92% efficacy), and each cart will last 3 weeks at a 10mg /week dose. I could try to recon 60mg in 3ml, and make it last 6 weeks per cart, but does tirz have any side effects injecting that concentrated?

Low vacuum is fine. No vacuum is a caution flag.

I've researched reta with AOD and reta with 5Amino. Noticed a better result with AOD.

in my experience as long as the vendors vetted. its usually the same. there can be fakes. where instead of mt1 its mt2. but thats not like a huge thing ive seen posted often. im pretty sure no one has the money or lawyers to compound on us soil without getting sued into another space time continuum. besides all of the precursor apis are still manufactured in china. so are you manufacturing here or assembling?hims/hers buys from india. most of these peps have company patents that are very angry you are horning in on their government backed monopoly. test every batch you buy. group buys/group tests and information are usually smart but need to have your wits about you. coas can be fake. randy just posted something a few days ago on a company. glp1forums is a wealth of information for grey vendor side of things. never try to save a buck by going with a no name vendor. as long as they come back clean and pure. even if the weights are generally correct. maybe a little high. send that shit. happy hunting.

@ResearchCat Thank you! I was moving 3ml to 3ml so it was supposed to go smoothly haha. I will pay closer attention to how far the breather is in next time for sure!

The compounding pharmacy I used to buy from seemed to like standardizing on a 50 unit shot. I tend to prefer 10-20 units for most peps. One thing to keep in mind is that the larger the shot, the less loss there will be due to mistakes or process. That is, losing 1 unit of a 5 unit shot is a bigger deal than losing 1 unit of a 40 unit shot. Ultimately, it comes down to whatever you’re most comfortable with as long as your math is right and you are dosing correctly. GLP-1’s are one peptide where you do not want to calculate incorrectly.

All these vendors are buy their stuff from china. These small companies do not have the equipment to do it themselves. My suggestion, don’t use them anymore and find someone you like better. They are not going to change their business practices. So if you don’t like their business practices, move to the next vendor. That is what I do.

@gym.rat yeah if i see it cheaper i may try. but currently with the dose and price. eh

This is normal for AOD. There is an acidic bac water you can buy next time or you can just palm it for a few minutes and it will liquefy again. I've said in the past this only has to be done the first couple times then you're good-to-go for the rest of the vial because that has been my experience with the first two I've done. But here I am on my third and I had to do it again, for no reason at all, this morning. It is what it is.

I have done 3 6 to 8 week cycles over the last 8 months. I started with 1 mg a couple times a week for 6 weeks on the 1st cycle. The second cycle I did 2.5 mgs every other day for 8 weeks. And the 3rd cycle I did 5 mgs every other day for 8 weeks. I love MOTS-C! The cardio boost is amazing. It's like having a 3rd lung.

Yes. I've been back home a month and my color is just now starting to fade. But, being here in the Midwest, I still am very tan, lol I have people asking me all of the time if I just got back from vacation.

@jaydee I’ve just seen your post… I’ll have a look. “ERP - TRANMOO - BARN - UTHER to name a few” Which one have you found best?

@WowwyZowwy that makes a change… something for the aged, old lives matter! I’m going to add NAD to my next research order. Helpful experience, thanks

@pep_researcher they dont want the market to exist. novo or eli bought one of the compounders. if they can have the grey market crash then it puts pressure on the remaining outlaw compounders to bend the knee. they then get a lions share of the market and new manufacturers that double their output. how much more of a checkmate do you need for novo,eli, and regeneron? affordable? why would they ever want that. they give breaks to the fancy insurance companies and rail the poor for everything they have.which possibly pressures them to vote accordingly. which also benefits the pharma companies as well. win win.

Bought 2, 50mg and see if I can't fix my skin and hair before I go to Tesa. Will try for 2 months and see if I notice a difference. With Tirzep, NAD+ & now GHK, that's quite enough for me. I'd stop the NAD+ but it's kept the fatigue at bay from the Tirzep, although, I'll see if I can cut down. 3 is the limit, else, it muddies the water and I need to keep clear enough in case I have a reaction. Now, the question of dose and cycling (if it's needed?). Think I'll pin in the glutes with this one.

@hay_bayls #2 I assume

Update related to SS-31. Because sometimes my decisions are wrong I deployed an aggressive SS-31 course to fix a mistake. I started to research a course of Ostarine (SARM). Big fucking mistake, all sorts of bad reactions- cardiac, cognitive, energy, that shit is pure poison. I stopped it within 7 days and immediately began 40mg daily SS-31 to good end. I will continue the repair protocol for a total of 4 weeks. SS-31 for the win. The stuff is pure gold. Find the high-mg per vial and low-cost per/mg to help with affordability. I shopped several sales to STOCK UP big time.
