          Have you looked into Ion peptide? I have using them for a while now and they are one of best vendors i have seen so far.

            I’ve had good luck the past 6 months with Yuansense Tech. The boxes come with a MFG and Expiry dates. You can trace back to the Janoshik COA they link to. That’s for a bit of peace of mind, but I still send one of each “lot” to Krause Analytical for confirmation. I don’t do the 3 vials like Nexaph or the 8 vials like Southern Aminos. But one per actual lot, usually no more than 20 or 30 vials (2 or 3 boxes) lets me know ID, Purity, fill mg, and Endo. For 20mg Tirz with 3 boxes it works out to about $16 per vial. Not cheap, but about 3/5 Nexaph and 1/5 of SA.

              @mikebricker Is Krause doing endo from the same vial used for ID, purity, and content? Am I reading that right?

                @Stevepep Yes. They told me they did not require a separate vial for Endo. Is that not kosher technically? Not knowledgeable in this area, just a Nuclear Engineer.

                  @mikebricker nuclear engineer, that's cool. The standard is typically to use a separate vial in a clean room to test for endotoxins so you don't get a false positive or negative. You try to keep the samples separate so they don't get contaminated. Endotoxin testing is tricky. I test for the usual plus sterility for this reason. I have never used Krause. I assume you use them through Finnrick. Jansoshik covered this a little bit in a video and I think said they use seperate vials for heavy metals, Sterility and endotoxins. I think one for each

                        @mikebricker are their prices (on the name(.)com site) per vial or per kit of 10 vials? cause i checked 30mg Reta and its 205 dollars, which is very high price compared to buying kits.

                            @Stevepep Not through Finnrick. IMHO Finnrick is a joke. I go through Krause directly. Easy to work with, and very good pricing.

                              Yes, I bought some KPV from them but TBH, I was sort of off put because I got a box w the barcode but the vials had no stickers whatsoever. Is that normal? a518bd83-51a3-4d33-9b0a-9c16de186527-image.jpeg

                              @montemontemayor That is standard across most vendors when buying kits.

                                yuansensetech.com but i'll take your word for it. Appreciate the info.

                                  @montemontemayor Oh although if you want discount, Nexaph has an option to use BTC. So I agree they are a great middle ground.

                                  I knew about them even before my first RUO from Glp1forum and some Reddit posts, but Peptide Critic brought more clarity and trust.

                                    I am sending out for testing myself. I want test from the product that I actually receive. People put WAY to much trust in those group 3rd party testing… How do you know the person the sent it in has the same batch as you? The vendors use the same caps over multiple batches. Group testing cannot be trusted in my opinion.
                                    I buy in somewhat bulk. I bought 20 Kits of Reta 20mg to get bulk pricing, but only 14 were for me, my friend took 5 and one kit we sent out to 5 different labs for testing so we could evaluate the labs. Everything else I try to buy 10 kits at a time or if my friend wants the same thing we split it and buy like 12 kits (6 each). But after I figured out how much I was really using a year, I have to step it up and buy at least 10 kits or more at a time just for me and my wife.

                                    @Commander I actually love and appreciate your skepticism and DIY approach, just that I'm quite lazy and spoilt by Amazon Prime readymade culture.

                                    But one day when I'm ready to put in the time and effort to buy bulk and save money while ensuring safety, I will ping you for guidance. 🙂

                                        Studzpeptides has great prices as well and stackable coupons. And like nexaph there is a nice btc discount.
