Every Vendor I have Tried Plus Apps, Bloodwork etc
-
@willie77 I went with Function Health for the "big" blood work. Its great and would highly recommend it if you are close to a Labcorp or Quest. Im 2 hours from the nearest one but thats fine for every 6 months.
To support this, Ive also tried Rythm for at-home tests (not recommended) and am doing Siphox Health starting next month for hormone and CBC panel for TRT monitoring.

I ordered first from Verified Peptides. I liked they had Janoshik COAs and batch IDs. Everything I tried from them (Thymulin, Vilon, Epitalon, CJC/IPA) made me feel ill, unless the dose was reduced to 0.1mg or less. To this day I have no idea what was wrong with them, I haven't tested anything.
I also used Bioedge Research Labs, a lesser known, but I can't complain about it, everything seemed a good quality, was tolerated well, except AOD that gelled, but this one is tricky. Their customer service is great.
I used Atomik Labz. Their vials were fine. Their pills made me feel bad. When I asked them for help they threatened to ban me if I ask again.
So I figured I am somehow more sensitive to the quality of the compounds than most of the people. If anything is off with it I feel it immediately while other people can consume it fine. So now when I try something new I get it from 3 places and compare.
I used Ion Peptides, they were ok as quality, but stingy as support. Thymosin A1 didn't dissolve and all I could get is a partial refund on one of two vials, after a week of arguing and proving it.
I was referred to Canlab International. They had no COA available (now they say you can request them), and very expensive, but the quality of the items I tried was always very high. I understand they do local lyophilization.
I got Reta from Glacier Aminos, and from the side effects, no effect from the dose, and the chart from Kovera COA for that batch I am convinced I was sold Tirzepatide mislabeled as Reta. I think it might be not on Glacier Aminos, it's because Kovera people couldn't use their equipment properly. Hope they learned since then.
I used Reta from Crush Research and this one works well. Crush Research is good but with Rory selling the company the future is uncertain.
I like Peptidology, their 14x testing from Vanguard, their selection is good. The quality I can't complain about. Unfortunately the Peptide Critic discount code only worked a couple times and then expired.
I got many bioregulators and other peptides from Bio Longevity Labs. The quality of the peptides seems to be very very good, I have no issues at all. There are also good sales from time to time and I can get good deals. They don't have batch numbers on vials though, even though Jay C (the owner) insists to never buy the products with no batch numbers. They do publish COA though, for unidentifiable batches.
I got Tesamorelin from Peptide Crafters. First I used Tesa from Bio Longevity, and it felt fine. When I switched to Crafters I felt bad after each dose, so I paused, retried and felt bad again. So now I switched to Southern Aminos Tesa (I told that I try from 3 vendors), and I feel fine again. So, Peptide Crafters are under question for now. I have some more items from them to try.
I also use Garmin Epic watch, CGM from time to time, daily weight with smart scales (I use 3, it's another drama), blood pressure daily. For blood testings I use Ulta Lab Tests and Marek Diagnostics.

New to this group and wanted to give my journey...
Got introduced to peps when I destroyed my rotator cuff and bicep (still recovering after 7 months). Started BPC157 and TB-500 from Paramount Peptides which seemed to help. Since then I've also bought Wolverine blend from Simple Peptides. I started testing kisspeptin from Simple which I like and Reta from VPeptide. com in Canada (I have a guy lol). Love the reta...SW..190 CW..172. My wife has experienced close to the same loss and my daughter is down 30 in the same time frame, no side effects.I'm now looking to get into kits and grey because individual vials adds up and I want to start other protocols like a mitochondria protocol and add KLOW.
Looking forward to learning more in this group (seems better than other groups I'm in) and researching vendors and how to get stuff tested. Getting ripped off or garbage vials is my biggest concern so I have a lot to learn. Thanks for having me.

@dispensarysupport isn’t heliobiochem the company that had the COA test with the zero peptide? I may be confused but I thought someone posted the COA. Also I don’t see any COA’s on their website

No. They don't have COAs on their site they ship each product that ive ever gotten with the COA. Almost every order I have gotten from them has been Uther or Lobster product. All top shelf in my experience and ive now placed 4 orders. YMMV.
If you have proof they shipped something with Zero peps you should include that here. I have never heard a single negative about them.
(i stand corrected, they do have COAs on their site. sorry I haven't ordered from them in awhile)

@dispensarysupport I was not sure if it was them thats why I asked the question. So essentially, you order from them without knowing the results of the COA? They then send it with the product. Can you match the product to the COA by crimp, cap and batch number and do they run a full panel and lastly who to they test with? I have looked at them before but I get turned off by companies who don't post their test results thats a red flag to me

Does anyone like, or use SiPhox?
@Canineriot I used SiPhox week turnaround pretty easy access with the app. I have another one coming in six months
-
@Stevepep I am the developer for PeptideLab. I'd like to invite you to try our app. I believe it outperforms for anybody who is serious about tracking more than just peptide doses.

Yup. That is exactly how it goes. I see the owner on TG and have seen some of their orders are like $190k so they pretty much do what they want. I agree though, id prefer to see the COAs first. That said, they dont sell bad products and its mostly retail to people who just want good product and not care much about testing.
Nexaph btw does the same thing. Perfect example is their latest preorder of T30 was sold with no COA. It's just how it is with a lot of the bigger kit sellers I guess.

When I started my journey...
Evolvebiopep.com was my go to.
Then I found Forge-Science and they were by far the best for singles.
Then they sold to Exceedenhancement.com and they were great for singles.
Then I found out about kits and I started ordering from www.Nexaph.com and www.Heliabiochem.com and used them both back and forth. Nexaph was seemingly a lypholizer doin their own thing out of China and Helia is always delivering Uther and Lobster product so I liked that.
Then I found Telegram and went deep into the Gray and order direct from various vendors and get in on group buys from time to time. I stopped hording kits because there is no need for multiple years of product because something new will likely be out in a year.

I'm going to order from Nexpah based on the kind reviewsand just wanted to double check that GXP-2 is Tirzepaptide right? Would Reta be a better pick? I've taken Tirzepaptide with some success.
Also, what are people's experiences with their Sermorelin?
@slyger I took sermorelin 5 days/week for 8 weeks. I could tell it was doing something by the numerous side effects: swelling in my ankles and fingers, a pressure headache in the evenings and intermittent nerve "zaps" pain in single digits like my toes and or different fingers. I switched to CJC-1295/ipa blend and take 200mcg/day x5 days a week and have much fewer side effects. My visceral fat readings on my smart scale are almost in normal range now and I feel "lighter" in the abdomen for sure. I've noticed increased muscle tone too.
Also, I only take it in the morning because of my delayed gastric emptying from R3ta 5mg a week, I never feel truly fasted at bedtime even if my last meal of the day was at 1 p.m. -
This is a great post!

My free testosterone doubled from 500 to a little over 1000. It’s the real deal, you will build and retain muscle mass. I have been off of it for a month now and I am still at 900 plus. I test monthly so I am going to see what happens before I start up again.

@mikebricker what did you think about the quality and effectiveness of northline labs
-
Wow, this is a trip down memory lane. I’ve only been researching for six months, and feel like I have learned so much, especially from forums like this. I was introduced to peps by my ex who gave me a vial of Reta from Peptide Sciences, so they were my first. I will say that it was definitely effective as I lost 10lbs in the first month.
Unfortunately (or fortunately as they were pretty pricey) I had to find another vendor after they decided to shut down and came across Ascension Peptides where I purchased my second single vial of Reta as well as Wolverine. I can’t recall how I came across Ascension initially, but the pricing was not bad at the time and the product worked fine. I was just reviewing their current pricing though, and I must have had a new customer discount on my first purchase as the same 30mg vial is now more than double what I paid.
While I was still researching my single vial from Ascension, I started looking into other peps and vendors that sold kits so that the price/mg was cheaper. I found Crush at that time and picked up a kit of Reta and KPV. Crush did not have Wolverine at the time, so I picked some up from Biotech Compounds.
I think this is when I got sucked into the “drop marketing” at Crush and stocked up on more Reta. Rory at Crush was also highlighting a great discount on Reta from Orbitrex Peptides, so I picked up some more. This is what I have been using most recently and it is working well.
This was my first three months. At some point during that time, I kept hearing about group buys and grey and learned about STG, GLP-1 Forum, Peptide Critic, Telegram etc. I lurked in a bunch of TG channels for a while and eventually found Aavant. I’ve since done a couple of buys with them. The frenzy of the “drop” and issues with the bot were frustrating, but the way that they organize the group testing is great, and they accepted PayPal (I had not yet ventured into using crypto). I was using Aavant to stock up on more Reta, BPC and TB4, none of which I’ve researched with yet.
At about the time I found Aavant, I also got connected to a couple of group buys (D&U and Drop Zone), specifically looking for Cartalax and more KPV. I made a purchase with both and am still waiting on delivery. These both accepted PayPal as well, but with a 5% fee.
My most recent purchase was from Peptegrity and was my first crypto purchase. As a couple others have stated, we'll see if that comes through.
I think I would have definitely tried Nexaph if I had found them earlier, and likely will try them at some point given all of the positive feedback here.
I got my bloodwork done through Superpower, and am actually due for another panel. My app is a spreadsheet…but I may look at upgrading that at some point as well.
Your first order from Ascension probably included the usual 50% off. You must have missed clipping the coupon the second time around.
I like Ascension Peptides better than EZ Peptides and Mile High, still debating Glacier. I haven't tried Nexaph, yet, but for singles I expect to favor Ascension because they don't penalize for using card.
-
@slyger you can order 1 vial of the same molecules (they sell the same batches, batch numbers, COA of tests are the same) from https://ameanopeptides.com/ while they have 30% off. Try and see if it work for you before buying a kit of 10.
-
Maybe consider Direct Labs, also. I haven't used them for over ten years, but they have a large selection and offer specialty labs. They have added a few more labs that they didn't have ten years ago.
I doubt their prices are great, but the customer service is. -
