Mine recons clear, but turns cloudy if it touches Reta.

@Eb123421 i waited until my bac and vial got room temp which takes like 5 minutes. added the water and kinda rolled it in my fingers like a joint until most of it was mixed. had a little clump in the bottom and just held the vial firmly and tapped it on my palm once to dislodge that clump. i know shaking bad. but it all came out ok. no gel. but i got a personal connect that ive never had a single issue with any of the peps i get from him though. i would share but they are having sourcing troubles like everyone else.

@mattclayton the puck is not something you can split. the puck is filler. peptides mixed in. Its formed during the freeze drying process. Dont try this. You'd get localized ISR. Not skin sensitivity from expired months old reta. maybe an infection if its not sterile. Some poeple handle the allodynia it and it goes away, some wait 16 weeks for it to clear up and some cant handle it at all (me). Ive tryed all the remedies you listed including mucinex and a few others. What worked for me was switching back to tirz. Honestly reta is neat. It really is...but its getting hype because its new. It doesnt handle food noise as well as tirz, it has more side effects than tirz and trial data suggests it causes more weight loss but at the cost of more muscle wasting. A lot of these "coaches" are personal trainers who used to push sarms and jumped on the peptide bandwagon. Reta is great but i don't feel it's worth the hype.

Agreed, An awesome resource for sure. Thanks Jeff for all you do!!!

What are the actual reasons you all are concerned when you see a test come back with a low purity reading? Is it just cost? Or are you actually concerned there are rando things in the % that should be pure? I’ve read about how peptides are chained, and I understand they can malform when sequencing and create analog compounds - have you all actually found stuff like that in your test results?

@beachfun said in Peptides for skin tightening / health: Randy has created a monster I feel like we could all say that.

@randy somewhat unrelated question here but I just reconstituted some NAD from Nexaph and it didn’t seem to have a vacuum in the vial when reconstituting (had to actually push the BAC through rather than preventing it from coming out quickly) - should I be worried?

@Randy thanks for the response!

@WisGal64 Thanks! I just bought 5 to fill my 10 pack storage case I bought. I think Im set for at least a year.

Do a test pin with just BAC water or saline. If it still bruises it’s the pen/needle itself or the way you actually pin - if it doesn’t- it’s the pep.

@etl_318 Are you talking about ngpeptide.com?

https://peptidedosages.com/peptide-blend-dosages/tesamorelin-5-mg-ipamorelin-5-mg-10-mg-blend-dosage-protocol/ here is a good site that might help you, I would start with the lowest dosage suggestion and go up slowly

The three from the 3rd party test were very similar to what the Lab reported on the COA. I will average the 6 numbers.

update. no reactions to either aod or the ss31 other than a red dot for ss. lifes good.

@Bobbish I am sending my stuff out for testing… I sent a vial out of CJC/IPA for testing at Freedom. When I posted the results in a few places (other forums, TG, etc..) I got blasted because the results that came back were a lot lower (Like 30+%) than the vendor posted test results fro Jaboshik… Everyone had an attitude, “I am a Nexaph and Janoshik hater”, "Janoshik is the Gold Stander, Any results that go against theirs are wrong”, “Freedom is known to be wrong”, “bla, bla, bla..” So I want to make sure I am using a good lab to test what I buy. I am not sending samples out overseas, way too much of a hassle. I won’t be posting any test results any more, too much time spent going back and forth with people who don’t like what the report says… I am a no one, so if I pay for something or verify something, I will always be wrong and have to deal with keyboard warriors - no thanks. I buy, I pay, I find out the information I am looking for and that is good enough for me...

@gym.rat So I have shoulder injuries that were making it almost impossible to get a good workout in. Klow has healed them enough why I can workout normal, not heavy like I am in my 20s, but normal.. I bought it from Nexaph, better price than really anywhere else except Grey. Jeff and others on here basically convinced me to try some grey. The problem is to really be in the grey area you have to be on Telegram (or Telemess as I like to call it). I did not want to learn it.. But I did and it is a mess. But I found a couple vendors on there I am trying out. My first order is only $400 some dollars. So if I loose it no big deal. I think Telegram is like going to Atlantic city, you might win big (if your order is big enough) or you may loose your money. With my calculations, it is not worth it for me to buy grey unless it is 4 or more kits of the same product at once. I have to send out 1 vial of that batch for testing, so when you do the math, I have to buy 4 kits or more to save money. Aavant is my next purchase, mid May when they release their Klow..

@saltyalty Supposedly no - but you need a magnifying glass to see any material.

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on reconstituting tirz + reta separately and filtering them both into one sterile vial. I personally am a little weary about the process especially wanting to take things slow with each compound / splitting doses throughout the week. But my mother's rat has stalled at 15mg tirz and hates the idea of multiple pokes throughout the week. Would it be a bad idea to say use 0.5ml bac water to reconstitute each compound and filter the total 1ml into a sterile vial? Has anyone had any experience/notes to share about using both tirzepatide and retatrutide? I feel more comfortable with my rat supplementing with cagrilintide while already on a tirzepatide protocol but I want to hear more about those who has researched the aforementioned blend / even just researching both with separate doses in a week.

I just filled out the paperwork on Finnrick, kind of a pain in the ass. I am sending some Para Phama in to be tested because I have a bunch and can spare it. I wanted to test the process of Finnrick testing. Probably will never do it again, it is a pain

I'm very interested in P21 and trying to determine who to buy from. Has anyone researched this Peptide? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience. My rat has limited work with Nootropics - Epithalon, Selank, Semax - and is hopeful to find more.
