@thatkatmat Hi- no, I actually paid for it myself. I realize that inflated the cost by quite a bit but I would rather have a high level of confidence in whatever I'm using and not od'ing on fent or taking baking powder or something else. For the next batches I order, I will use finnrick which I have only learned about recently. I hope that there'll be more vendors like finnrick but it seems to me that the table stakes for any peptide distributor is to post COAs and include batch numbers on all vials and post all of their COAs on their site (which can be verified on the lab's site as well). Can't imagine ordering from anyone not providing less than that.

Ive seen evolve but they are testing one bottle and its usually an overfill. That screams chinese supplier. Not a bad thing but just something to be aware of. For single bottles i like Mile High Compounds, EZpeptides and Ameano peptides. Like others on here have mentioned Nexaph has kits and I LOVE their stuff.

My X3 workouts (2.5 years of app-logged workout history) are now personal bests every time. My vascularity is far greater than it has ever been. I am not nor have ever been a gym rat kind of guy, just a 65 year old dude who wants healthy muscles for healthy aging and insulin sensitivity. My body fat is burning off very nicely. Still doing the FLGR-242 every week 5mg, and the a-Klotho one vial biweekly. Still crave injection days, and hardest is not injecting more of both (counter-productive) because I feel so good.

@researchcat My game plan is to take ATX-0304, then layer in SS-31, and then transition to MOTS-C. I'll add NAD+ at some point. My curiousity was around the effective dosage for SS-31. I'm 48. I'm looking at SS-31 like an oil change for my mitochondria, not an engine overhaul. I've seen claims that 40mg daily of SS-31 has the same effect as 4mg daily for most people. Here is a video recommending 5-10mg/day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjUm5gkSwRk Here is an article recommending 5mg/day. https://www.innerbody.com/ss-31-peptide If that is the case, that is a huge cost variance from the protocol Randy posted above - Roughly 300mg vs 1000mg over a 60 day period. I was curious if people felt like sticking with the 4-5mg dose for 60 days was effective, based on their research.

I just ordered 3 Gansulin pens, i cant wait to add SS-31 for when im on the higher dose.

Instead of just picking a steady supply for my Kangaroo from who I want we will be stuck with the typical big pharma and a doctor. People are so tired of this nonsense. God forbid people be actually healthy without it being controlled.

I loaded up stock for the winter season however this peptide that is very versatile for trips and just weekly maintenance maybe 1-2x a week just to have a strong immune system.

...have you tried pinealon? I discovered that one a few years back. Prior to that i needed a handful of melatonin gummies or Ambien to sleep. I haven't needed it since.

@MyB Im a itchy boy myself. I can tell you bpc/tb4 always cause me to get itchy by day 3/4. Its well documented on other forums and reddit. Kpv can even push me into histamine issues if im doing too much for too long. Plain GHK is fine and im back to 6mg in the morning. I was doing 10mg but it was becoming too painful.

@Nolan Based on my reading and practice, it is 500mcg (each) daily for maintenance and up to 1mg per day for injury repair. There are some folks here who research much higher levels..

For research use only. Not medical advice. Overview BPC-157 is a synthetic 15–amino-acid peptide studied for potential effects on tissue repair, inflammation modulation, and gastrointestinal protection. Human clinical evidence is still limited, so researchers rely on conservative dosing patterns derived from preclinical data. Subcutaneous administration is the most common route in systemic research models. Daily Dosing Protocol (Subcutaneous) Standard Daily Range 200–600 mcg once daily Escalate gradually to assess individual response and tolerance. Titration Schedule Weeks 1–2 200 mcg daily Useful as a gentle introduction, particularly when monitoring sensitivity. Weeks 3–4 400 mcg daily Represents the common working dose for generalized healing or recovery-focused protocols. Weeks 5–8+ 600 mcg daily Higher end of typical daily research use; often maintained for prolonged tissue-repair goals. Timing Once daily, at any consistent time. Some researchers prefer morning fasted dosing; others use evening to complement recovery protocols — timing is flexible. Cycle Length Standard BPC-157 research cycles: 4–8 weeks, depending on the model Optional 2–4 week break before repeating Shorter cycles may be used for acute-injury research models Chronic continuous use is less common due to limited long-term human data. Common Research Notes BPC-157 is generally well tolerated, though individual sensitivity varies. Some subjects report improvements in soft-tissue recovery, joint comfort, or GI stability within 1–3 weeks. Effects may plateau after several weeks, which is why cycles often cap at 8 weeks. Some researchers combine BPC-157 with TB-500 or GHK-Cu for injury-specific protocols.

@myb at least you went far down a rabbit hole... as noted above I was drive by speculating...

@Randy said in DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) Research Dosing Protocol: funny ive got a needle in a hospira about to recon two bottles of dsip for a pen. Ive found it helps me stay asleep not necessarily puts me to sleep. Milage may vary on timing but i usually do an hour before i am planning on zonking out. I think your plan is sound. A little info that may be helpful. I accidently grabbed the wrong pen thinking it was AOD at 7am. pinned 3mg of dsip instead. I was lucid and out of it all day. Couldnt stay awake. Anyways...it works. I will aim to take it at least 1 hour before bed .. btw thank you for confirming that this really works, i will make sure to dont ever take it in the morning now.. hahahahaha

I have a 500mg NAD bottle, dont remember if i need to add a min of 5ml bac

I dropped this link in another conversation but wanted to share here. This is where I’ve gotten my Korean glutathione from for years. It currently $60 for a case of 10. $30 shipping no matter what you order. I haven’t placed an order since tariffs went into place. I know they use to mark a package value at 10% of what you paid. https://www.acecosm.com/categories/health-booster/ki-glutaone-inj-glutathione-1200mg

I know sermorelin is FDA approved and very safe. I researched it for a few months when I started this adventure. I have to say results are subtle at best. As compared with CJC/Ipamorelin, which is more like a shotgun. FWIW, my sermorelin research was in line with the prescriber’s recommendation, while CJC/Ipamorelin was inline with common protocols(200-300mcg/day). I don’t completely dismiss it the way a lot of YouTubers do, but for researchers who can tolerate it and are less patient, it seems most of the other GHRH peptides give more noticeable results faster.

She's the real deal. The only thing id add is to research them separately first. Reactions to cjc arent rare and ipa does happen. Its best to know which one if you were to have a bad time.

@Randy It’s funny; a friend of mine is on reta and like it a lot but is increasing his dose because of food noise/hunger. I use tirz and he keeps trying to get me to move to reta but I am not having trouble with food noise on a very low dose. Hence why I always say to take it slow and see what works best for you. Maybe I will try reta at some point, but right now I see no reason to mess with variables that aren’t causing problems.

@TShivers said in Tesamorelin Research Dosing Protocol: @ResearchCat.... I've been on the Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin injections for several wks now so far with EXCELLENT results.... I do (2) injections daily of Ipamorelin....0.25mg of Ipamorelin dose in the mornings (fasted before breakfast) and another 0.25mg dose of Ipamorelin at night before bed for 5 days a wk. The Tesamorelin I take just once nightly at a 2mg dose before bed for 5 days a week. Saturday and Sundays are my days off Hope this helps answer your question. Did you start at 2mg and .5mg or did you titrate up to that level?
