    Its the GOAT for this. My moms rat is on it. Tarsal tunnel issues. They're gone

    Another mutual friend lost half his foot to an IED. Pain killers wouldnt do anything for him. 2-4mg of ara a day and hes off the painkillers and living once more.

    Milage may vary but im even researching it now. Im a week in and bumping from 2mg to 4mg tomorrow. Ill keep you posted.

      Great info thanks . My rat is recovering from spinal cord injuries and the many assoc. surgeries. My research on him has never included peptides so this is all new to me. I'm really interested to hear any updates on your results going forward.
      Thanks again

        You may be interested in cartalax in the bioregulator category.

          @randy I've seen some chatter about ARA-290 needing to be reconstituted with a phosphate buffer rather than BAC water. Any insight?

            I’m no expert by a long shot but that’s what I’ve read as well. There seems to be a debate about it whether it has to do with the quality of the peptide or the bac water or some combination of both? Try to use the highest quality you can find. Ultimately I decided to go with cartalax in my research.

              @steve I have since successfully reconstituted ARA-290 at a 1 mg/ 10 units concentration with BAC water. No gelling up or other issues.

                I’m still new to this whole research thing but would like to try a cycle when I have more experience. I’m still learning about sourcing and I’m sure with quality supplies my results will be similar to yours.

                    I reconstituted 10mg of ARA with bac water last night and had zero issues. Both the peptide and bac water were body temp.

                      @Ed-Warnicke Ed! Like others have mentioned they have no issues. My moms rat has been on ara for a long time. never seen anything gel on that compound.

                      I think there are a lot of "experts" relying on chat-gpt. The problem is these LLM's just grab data from reddit, message boards etc and just state what data they have aggregated as fact. Jump cuts, reaching forward to start and stop recording are all tell tale signs they are just reading from their LLM script.

                      The new one is Tesamoralin cant be refrigerated or it gels because a meathead with knuckle tats and a ring light paid for a chat gpt premium subscription.... Now i have to pay a lab to do the test. Its just comical at this point.

                        @Steve ezpeptides or mile high are where im sending my friends these days. Peptira seems to have it together as well. All this can change overnight but thats my opinion on sourcing as of this post.

                          @Randy I have experienced the same data overload. It's more work trying to sift the wheat from the chaff sometimes when it comes to what is being said.

                          As for the Tesamorelin I had a couple of weeks worth in cold storage not freezing but pretty close without any gel issues.

                            @Steve I just finished recording a video on the tesa gelling subject. We got a few "the sky is falling take your tesa out of the fridge" emails today from vendors.

                                  @randy after reconstituting my ARA-290 I forgot about and found it 18 hours later, then put it in the fridge. Should it still be ok?

                                    Would just like to report that the vial left out and chilled when found ended up gelling. Two days later it separated and clumped. No other vial in the kit has gelled except this one that was handled incorrectly.

                                        I purchased ARA, first vial ended up gelling about 3/4 of the way through. I switched to using 1.5 of PBS and .5 of bac, seems to do the trick, haven't had an issue since. Wondering if anyone has researched ARA from Nexaph and what your experience is/was?
