@jackie great question.  SS-31 is for mitochondrial repair, so if you have metabolic dysfunction, this could be a good thing to research. MOTS-C is going to facilitate working harder longer. NAD+ will give you more energy. They all work on your mitochondria in different ways.  Josh Holyfield has a good video on this. I think he refers to it as the mechanic protocol.  Whether you need it or not depends on how you’re feeling, age, etc.

I reconstituted my first vial, so far so good.  It took a long time to dissolve….I’m not sure how quickly it will gel, if it does at all, fingers crossed.

Ive never heard of oath. New ones that "look good" pop up daily. mile high has stringent testing. ezpeptides has great prices and good testing. im sure others on here have some recs for RUO vendors. My advice - skip oath.

Are the ones in your directory all stringent on testing for endotoxins, etc.? Or just on purity/accuracy?  Even though buying stateside through sites like these is probably steeper financially than other avenues, I would like to hope that because they're stateside, don't require btc to pay, and are vetted through this site that they're better about that stuff and worth the added cost.

I actually wouldn’t use a pen for more than 25iu of anything.
Even if you filled the cartridge up with 3ml, at 25iu thst is only 12 shots. Any less than that and I wouldn’t go through the hassle filling cartridges.
So I would just say use a regular 100iu insulin syringe

I hear that, but then again, 12 shots at that rate is 3 months worth, assuming weekly doses?

He stumbled on her and liked the easy way she breaks things down in a real way. It really put him at ease when we started researching. We trust this channel as much as you can trust any channel and watching her channel evolve has been informational as well. Highly recommend starting with her channel for an intro. Also, @randy has done a phenomenal job gathering resources and providing information. The individuals in these forums have been a benefit to me as I read them. As you will see everywhere, start slow, monitor results, and do one thing at a time. Peptides aren't necessarily quick fixes; we research to optimize. Optimization takes time, monitoring through measuring, and patience. Everybody is a different body; keep that in mind as you begin. This is why monitoring and recording are critical in every science research experiment. Good Luck!

@ResearchCat
Ahhh - can in fact confirm that attempting to fill a pen cartridge with 2.5ml of BAC &amp; 30mg of RETA without a vent needle will in fact eject the plug like a pop gun and spray the liquid all over one’s own fat guts.

Lol.  I sacrificed a cartridge for my first time filling one using tap water so I can practice. Good thing I did.  Totally forgot the vent needle and sure enough it popped out.

My goal was to eventually max 4mg. I had to dialed it down because I started to feel allodynia. Lesson here is find your sweet spot. With enough hunger to supplement a heathy diet of protein at the center of your meal to prevent muscle loss. Find your sweet spot, mine still is 1mg of Reta and 1mg of MOTs-C and NAD+ daily or every other day.

Dont worry about the hand writing. EZ has a different seal and cap color for each batch. You dont see the same seal and cap color on a compound in the same year. Ive only seen a repeat once in all my time. You can also buy kits without labels from their sister company nexaph. Significant discount, same tests, no labels
