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.)
