That logic falls apart pretty quickly if you follow it all the way through. If you can’t trust a sterile vial or filter because you personally didn’t verify the sterility, then you also can’t trust syringes, needles, media bottles, pipette tips, or basically any sealed lab consumable. Sterile consumables exist specifically so labs don’t have to individually test every item. They’re manufactured in controlled environments and sterilized in batches, then sealed. The entire research industry runs on that model. The real variable is the supplier. If you’re buying lab-grade consumables from reputable vendors, the risk is extremely low. If you’re buying random no-name stuff from questionable sellers, that’s a different conversation. But the idea that every sterile vial or filter is suspect unless you personally test it would mean you can’t trust any manufactured lab consumable at all, which obviously isn’t how research works.

@rain overfills are common. That’s one reason why coa’s are critical. Definitely recon at the tested level of 27 and not the 20 the vial was sold as.

I have received small vials of compounded Tirz that was reconstituted with saline, but it also has other preservatives to extend its shelf life. I don’t know if that matters, or how long you are expecting your stuff to last. The 3 month vials seem to be using bac water. I have a kit coming from Nexaph today, so I am out of that market for a while.

@PeptidePete Thanks for sharing your experience, this put the final nail in the coffin on my researching of this. After I did more digging, I realized the risks are too high as my rat has RA, don't need any more problems.

@Randy Hospiria

I know sermorelin is FDA approved and very safe. I researched it for a few months when I started this adventure. I have to say results are subtle at best. As compared with CJC/Ipamorelin, which is more like a shotgun. FWIW, my sermorelin research was in line with the prescriber’s recommendation, while CJC/Ipamorelin was inline with common protocols(200-300mcg/day). I don’t completely dismiss it the way a lot of YouTubers do, but for researchers who can tolerate it and are less patient, it seems most of the other GHRH peptides give more noticeable results faster.

I know who AlphaBiomed is….T clinics are making him very, very rich.

@lindseytharaldson I personally have had better results with nasal sprays. Your mileage may vary

Randy....what is the research protocol for taking tesofensine?

I just stuffed 10 vials from the same batch of 5amino in the same pen cart. Long boring process but its fine.

@beachfun Thats really weird. Copper is normally best in the high Glute area, Ive done a KLOW blend up there for a while and straight GHK. I do have a system that I reconstitute the blend with 2ml bac then I preload a few syringes with around 20ml BAC. On the day of the shot I add the Blend to the preloaded BAC syringe and I let it sit for 30min to get room temp. I use a 8mm and if you use less it tends to BUMP up. Other blends I havent done but the KPV, BPC and TB should be a very good blend to do anywere especially in the belly. Maybe you got a bad batch. Nowadays I filter all my peptides, I leave the vial and bac to room temp before mixing, and I havent had any problems with blends. @randy can disagree but Ive seen many test that Blends dont degrade in short periods and if you mix them all together in 1 syringe, it doesnt degreade either.

@randy where are you getting tb4?

@Ed-Warnicke oh, thank you! I will!

Anyone have experience with Retinalamin?

To what i have seen…. 1-2mg a day for 60 days Or 5mg split 2x a week for 60days 3x a year I would probably stack that with all the repair peptides like epitalon, ss-31. Hope that helps

Yeah, when i started dipping my toes into this pond last year I went to one of the fast-growing clinics in my area. When a (grumpy old dude mode) very young woman with lots of tats on her face and piercings everywhere took me into a side room and made me watch her reconstitute the peptides they sold me ($400/vial for 5/5 wolv), I thought to myself, ‘hmm, maybe i should be sourcing this elsewhere for a lot less money.’ I had been investigating peptides for a while but had no idea where or how to get them prior to that, so it was a lesson that had value. (Now i am showing my friends how to recon their peps.)

I filter everything. Its a risk analysis you have to do when you research. If the sterility was clean on the coa and you aren't stuffing it in a pen then moving it is a risk for contamination if you make a mistake. I wont say "oh its fine bro" but it usually is...until it isn't. EDIT I just read that again and it probably wasn't terribly helpful. Filter your peps.

If my memory serves me right (dihexa, PRL-8-53 supported) they did a study in 2013 and bailed. It has some effect but like AOD didnt really do enough to justify going further. Ive never researched it but hopefully someone on here has more experience.

Thanks Diego! Im reconstituting some PT 141 for my wife this morning. She told me I can’t have any, since getting testosterone, well let me say I really am hoping this PT141 does the trick. She tried testosterone and it has not helped at all. I have Selank and Semax in a cart that I need to order. I LOVE love…;)

Thank you for sharing your research experience. Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) promote growth and survival of many types of tumor cells. They are not in consideration at this time due to male subjects cancer history.
