Hello and Welcome! Sounds like you are well on your way

For local treatment- Chroma Ironforge- it's like holding a small sun in your hand! Very pricey though.

I don't think filtering will do anything to it, though I never filter myself as I think it is a waste of time unless you're buying some kind of unbelievable junk product. Peptides are also not that fragile and will survive shaking just fine. That is some persistent tiktok influencer nonsense.

Group test are usually formed from the TG or discord for the vendor. There’s also independent groups like Flying Purple Pep Guild https://t.me/+wLpJL2bMgkNhMTJh

Agree, many vendors seem like to have no clue how to name it. I had a conversation with limitlesslifenootropics which is generally a very good source, and they insisted that their Thymalin is synthetic and their Thymulin (they sell both) is thymus-derived. But the formula they provided are the same, both seem to be tested to be a 9-peptide. Go figure. Others just sell Thymulin marked as Thymalin (for increased sales, I guess). That "Thymalin" you quoted is a thymus-derived compound, having Vilon (as the main peptide) and also Thymogen, Crystagen, etc., all in 1%-5% proportions. No Thymulin there. Anyway, be sure to take Zinc 20-50 mg (2 hours before if orally). I would be careful about that mentioned PGB. They look suspicious to me. Beyond Limitless, if you figure out what they sell, (their thymalin 100mg is 126.49 now), there is canlabintl, but it kind of expensive, and they don't publish COA so you have to trust. Also BioEdge has it 45$/10mg and they tested for endotoxins.

@afkar7 There is one prominent YouTube doctor whose team quoted me $1,360/month for Glow. I am sure his target audience has the money and desire for that level of service, but I certainly don’t. The whole regimen I was looking to set up for my bride (HRT, minox, Glow, Tirz) was going to cost around $6k/month. We’re doing it for maybe $300. This site has saved me a small fortune.

@researchcat we used to see a lot of deer, guys had their quota by the end of opener. But in the last 10 years, the deer are very sparse. I think the timber wolves and coyotes are getting their bellies full.

@jackie Ive also asked GROK about Southern Aminos name changes and Nexaph; it confirms it too FYI

https://carolinachemical.com/ has lots of powders

Its a thing. It also grabs a significant amount of the peptide.

For DEXA scans, check your local university if you have one nearby. Mine does them for $66. Can get a bunch of other tests too. Now I just need to befriend someone there to test my peps... [image: 1777080085128-dexapricing.jpg]

@ResearchCat week 8 of the reta i would say out of anything that ive researched or dealt with personally in a perscribed format. nothing has been this "life changing".

If they're good enough for a letter from the FDA - they have got to be good enough for a review here....

Currently in my 4-8 weeks break time away from research. Last research cycle, TB-500 was administered every 5 days @5mg at a time. For the next research cycle, would the TB4 dosage stay the same as TB-500? Additional peps were BPC-157 .5mg twice per day, mots-c 5mg every 5 days, copper 2mg daily and Reta every Saturday 1mg and went up weekly and currently @5mg. This Saturday will start titrating off by reducing by 1-2mg per week. Do plan to add cartalax if I can find it. Would actually like to do it during my current off week but can’t seem to find a kit with good COAs. Thoughts would be appreciated

@Sable-Darqness Puratex has 40mg vials. That is what I was buying

Update: Moved the site around with similar results. Dull pain in the area but not terrible, only slightly uncomfortable. Taking a short break until bigger vials and filters come in to dilute further. Update 2: Also small quarter sized red rash at injection that is not painful.

I noticed that some vendors are switching to USP61 from USP71 for sterility testing. I'll preface this with... learning still in progress Doesn't this raise a concern? USP71 = 14+ day wait, USP61 = 5 day wait. It seems like they are trading off quality for faster turnaround? @randy your thoughts on this?

@Bricks are they providing extensive testing?? My guess is no. A kit of tirz 30 can be had for as low as $80. We don't do "trust me bro it's the real thing" in this space.

@Sable-Darqness said in Pinning Pain: My experience was injecting GHK-Ck in the love handle was plumb brutal. Hurt for a week I have to pin GHK-cu in my glutes
