update. no reactions to either aod or the ss31 other than a red dot for ss. lifes good.

https://carolinachemical.com/ has lots of powders

@ResearchCat week 8 of the reta i would say out of anything that ive researched or dealt with personally in a perscribed format. nothing has been this "life changing".

For DEXA scans, check your local university if you have one nearby. Mine does them for $66. Can get a bunch of other tests too. Now I just need to befriend someone there to test my peps... [image: 1777080085128-dexapricing.jpg]

Saturday I found out Aavant had some TB-4, from what I have read on forum posts review say its hard to come by and that TB-500 is readily available, I was very skeptical of ordering from a bot on telegram. The entire order process was surprisingly easy. Monday I received a message from them that my order had shipped. Today (Wednesday) I received my kit. Great pricing as well! Definitely watching them for their upcoming drops. I guess the 3d printer I want has to wait.

I noticed that some vendors are switching to USP61 from USP71 for sterility testing. I'll preface this with... learning still in progress Doesn't this raise a concern? USP71 = 14+ day wait, USP61 = 5 day wait. It seems like they are trading off quality for faster turnaround? @randy your thoughts on this?

@Stan-Douglas said in Freeze vs Refrigerate vs cool dark place: From what I understand as of now... moisture is your enemy for unconstituted [is that a word?] peps. I store mine in the freezer regardless of when I plan to begin using, in the original storage box, sealed in a ziplock freezer bag and now with -- I was reading up on this topic and it was suggested to add silica gel or desiccant packs -- I ordered "Color-Indicating Desiccant Packs for Storage, Rechargeable Silica Gel Packets" on Amazon to throw in each bag. Also advice I tripped across was to let your vials warm to room temp before adding your bac water. I use the packets, had no idea there were rechargeable ones.

@MyB said in Has anyone researched or heard of H-20 ?: Wasn’t on my radar but wow what an interesting peptide. It's definitely caught my attention! The only downside for me is it's an immunosuppressant rather than one that helps train like TA-1, I was on immunosuppressants for 10+ years, and all eventually failed. so I've been on a venture. One that sounds very promising is dnaJP1, studies in Cuba, it's completed phase I and 2, now in an AI guided trial. This one teaches the immune system rather than suppress it. I remain hopeful, but like so many other peptide therapies, it'll probably never see the light of day in my lifetime due to $$$ they want and sponsors. Sighhh

@gym.rat There is very little information on Ahkcu but I am now on my second bottle hair serum with the second half of the 1 gram vial of the Ahkcu. Nexaph sells 5 vial kits

@Randy said How much 5am are you researching? Im on 25mg at the moment. Hey Randy, Sorry, didn’t see your reply. Hubby has surgery last week, and I’m just coming up for air. I’m taking it super easy on 5A1MQ - at about 1.5 mg twice a day. Going up slowly but prob wont go over 10mg daily. I think the higher doses were supposed to be for oral preparations, and I’ve heard of people getting pretty good results at the lower doses. I’m always erring on the side of going kinda low. (eg, currently 1mg Epitalon before bed, and I only do 20-30 days twice a year). Just my thoughts… CM

I stay away from anything like that… so many TG server admins deleting any post that goes against the vendor or host, they claim anything bad is false and you are just there to cause trouble.. so they delete your posts. Oh wait, that just happened not more than a week ago with the LN TG group.. and asshole admins like Drastic were deleting posts of anyone that was concerned because they were getting bogus tracking numbers and stuff wasn’t being shipped. Then Bam, Tuesday morning all of LN staff disappeared after taking thousands of dollars in payments the night before knowing they were closing shop.. and then Bam the admins TG accounts disappeared too…

Apparently, Lilly recommends throwing out your used/opened Tirzepatide pen after 30 days. How should the Mounjaro (tirzepatide) KwikPen be stored? Store an unused KwikPen in the refrigerator between 2ºC – 8ºC. Protect the medicine from light and do not freeze. After first use, patients may store their pen at room temperature up to 30 °C and dispose of it after 30 days. What are the recommended storage conditions? Store in a refrigerator (2 ºC – 8 ºC). Do not freeze.1 After first use, Mounjaro may be stored unrefrigerated for up to 30 days at a temperature not above 30ºC and then the pre-filled KwikPen must be discarded.1 An in-use KwikPen2 must NOT be stored with the needle attached, to prevent leaking, blocking the needle and air entering the pen. must be stored with the pen cap attached. The pre-filled KwikPen must be discarded after 4 weekly doses and must not be used more than 30 days after the first use.2 How should wholesalers, HCPs and pharmacies store Mounjaro KwikPen? Before first use, Mounjaro must be kept between 2°C and 8°C.1 The 30-day room temperature exposure allowance refers to the used pen, and wholesalers, distribution Centers, HCPs and pharmacies cannot use any part of this allowance.1 How should patients store the Mounjaro KwikPen in use when the room temperature is above 30°C? Once in use, the Mounjaro KwikPen can be stored at room temperature up to 30°C for up to 30 days. Patients should take the steps necessary to ensure that the Mounjaro KwikPen is not exposed to temperatures above 30°C during this time.3 If during the 30 day in use period, the Mounjaro KwikPen has been placed in the refrigerator, the patient may continue to use the KwikPen. Lilly has data to support that cycling the Mounjaro KwikPen between refrigerated conditions and room temperature conditions does not impact product quality during the 30 day in-use period.3 The Mounjaro KwikPen should never be stored with the pen needle attached. Storing the KwikPen with a needle attached may induce the formation of air bubble(s), which may affect dose accuracy.3 Throw away the KwikPen 30 days after first use, even though it has medication left in it.4 What is the shelf life of Mounjaro KwikPen? The shelf life is 24 months.1 How to interpret the expiry date on the package? The expiry date is stated on the pen label and on the carton after EXP. The expiry date refers to the last day of that month.4

That logic falls apart pretty quickly if you follow it all the way through. If you can’t trust a sterile vial or filter because you personally didn’t verify the sterility, then you also can’t trust syringes, needles, media bottles, pipette tips, or basically any sealed lab consumable. Sterile consumables exist specifically so labs don’t have to individually test every item. They’re manufactured in controlled environments and sterilized in batches, then sealed. The entire research industry runs on that model. The real variable is the supplier. If you’re buying lab-grade consumables from reputable vendors, the risk is extremely low. If you’re buying random no-name stuff from questionable sellers, that’s a different conversation. But the idea that every sterile vial or filter is suspect unless you personally test it would mean you can’t trust any manufactured lab consumable at all, which obviously isn’t how research works.

I just stuffed 10 vials from the same batch of 5amino in the same pen cart. Long boring process but its fine.

@beachfun Thats really weird. Copper is normally best in the high Glute area, Ive done a KLOW blend up there for a while and straight GHK. I do have a system that I reconstitute the blend with 2ml bac then I preload a few syringes with around 20ml BAC. On the day of the shot I add the Blend to the preloaded BAC syringe and I let it sit for 30min to get room temp. I use a 8mm and if you use less it tends to BUMP up. Other blends I havent done but the KPV, BPC and TB should be a very good blend to do anywere especially in the belly. Maybe you got a bad batch. Nowadays I filter all my peptides, I leave the vial and bac to room temp before mixing, and I havent had any problems with blends. @randy can disagree but Ive seen many test that Blends dont degrade in short periods and if you mix them all together in 1 syringe, it doesnt degreade either.
