Peptide Critic Community

I know they have a COA posted on it, last time I looked.

@mary.nau-gmail.com parrox did fail based on pH in the Peptide crafters testing

@volume-1 I buy from Glacier and Mile High, I do not test because of reputation to date. In fact, one of the best to probably buy from right now is Mile High because they recently got an FDA letter so they know someone is watching them. Testing is expensive and if you need to test go buy bulk at Aavant or GGPeps and join a group or conduct your own testing.

@Randy Ya, I know a couple thst got removed for disagreements. Like LN. But I still use them

For me I don’t have one single source for protocol and dosing info. Ive used google, AI and youtube. I’ve pretty much always started with the lowest recommended dose of any pep and titrated up.

When pinning KLOW, do you put it near an injury or systemically? I appreciate any advice.

I am new here and have looked but can not find a post with this subject. I live where the temperatures are now 100 degrees and only going to get higher. Is there a way to see if the vendors offer cold shipping on the vendor directory or peptide price index. Thank you in advance for any tips!!!

The instructions say each pen has 3ml of solution. That means 40mg mixed with 3ml liquid. Using Randy's handy dandy reconstitution calculator at https://peptidecritic.com/tools/peptide-calculator, you get the following. For each 1mg dose, you would turn the dial on your pen 5 units.

personaly I'd just stick twice to avoid any issue

I second the biomed filters from Amazon. Of course I only get them when Randy is out of stock on this site.

There is also an oral drop coming out. Ion and NGpeptide carry it as a product, but out of stock. Ion told me it should be in stock right around June 1st. That's about all I know at the moment, but I'll buy it to try it b/c it's only money....right?!

There is a lot about this topic on the forum. Try using search, as it’s the easiest way to find things. Here is one link: https://community.peptidecritic.com/post/4979 Short answer is yes, you can. I am currently researching tesa, but will probably go back to CJC/Ipa once I run through my inventory of tesa. Reason is discussed in the link above. I think the protocol is on here as well.

Yes I have been on reta for 6 months from a compounding pharmacy. But this is my first time "researching". I have BAC water scheduled for delivery but it won't be here for another 2-3 weeks. So I may need a single 10 MG dose in the meantime. I have hospira sterile water that can be delivered much sooner so that I can use on a single dose basis. A 10 MG vial that I will use after reconstituting. Also since this is 1 time use can I inject the peptide while filtering it with out passing it through new vial. If I put into vial after filtering it, it will be immediately drawn out in full. Amd injected so can I skip that step and inject directly from filter with new sterile 5/8 needle

What a great thread! So much info. My scribbly notes don’t compare to this comprehensive research y’all are doing. I guess it’s time to step it up.

Also, there are sources for the filters that can be confirmed legit, you just won't find them on Amazon.

@PricklyPear It isn't recommended to use bacteriostatic sodium chloride for most peptides. The problem is with the sodium chloride. Peptides are delicate amino acid chains and the added salt (sodium chloride) in bacteriostatic saline, even in a peptide that may contain sodium, can potentially alter its chemical stability or cause dissolve poorly (clumping) which can make it less effective. Bacteriostatic water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol is almost always the preferred choice unless the peptide is sensitive to benzyl alcohol degradation or explicitly requires a salt-based buffer. For your question on GLP1 analogs, there is some research and clinical compounding data that show that semaglutide, liraglutide, and exenatide do have a sensitivity to benzyl alcohol and would be more effective with sterile saline. Keep in mind though when using sterile saline that the peptide may degrade more quickly due to more preservatives.

Low vacuum is fine. No vacuum is a caution flag.

in my experience as long as the vendors vetted. its usually the same. there can be fakes. where instead of mt1 its mt2. but thats not like a huge thing ive seen posted often. im pretty sure no one has the money or lawyers to compound on us soil without getting sued into another space time continuum. besides all of the precursor apis are still manufactured in china. so are you manufacturing here or assembling?hims/hers buys from india. most of these peps have company patents that are very angry you are horning in on their government backed monopoly. test every batch you buy. group buys/group tests and information are usually smart but need to have your wits about you. coas can be fake. randy just posted something a few days ago on a company. glp1forums is a wealth of information for grey vendor side of things. never try to save a buck by going with a no name vendor. as long as they come back clean and pure. even if the weights are generally correct. maybe a little high. send that shit. happy hunting.

This is normal for AOD. There is an acidic bac water you can buy next time or you can just palm it for a few minutes and it will liquefy again. I've said in the past this only has to be done the first couple times then you're good-to-go for the rest of the vial because that has been my experience with the first two I've done. But here I am on my third and I had to do it again, for no reason at all, this morning. It is what it is.
