Peptide Critic Community

@Randy I just used Google AI. I have an appointment on the 25th of this month to hopefully get both shoulders cleaned out. Barbotage procedure. For now I have stopped all peptides. Except Reta. I can’t really workout right now and I am not gaining my weight back! Oh and yeah, I am on the older side. 52. It’s a weird space to be in. I’m not old but not young and trying to accept the aging process and its effects. I was taking the glow stack to fix my left shoulder and ended up with shoulder pain on my right. I guess this is what I get.

5 weeks ago i stared the glow stack. 7 days on no breaks. I am sure that i have had calcium
Deposits on my rotator cuff for years. I have been doing the same upper body/shoulder workout for the past 16 months. I could never progressively overload more weight beyond what I currently am doing so I would increase reps/volume. Well 4 days ago my shoulder started to really hurt and by Friday I needed to go to the hospital out of the shear pain I was in. NOTHING compares to this pain. I had 36 hours of backlabor with no drugs and this was worse! I got an xray that showed a large calcium buildup on my rotator cuff and they gave my a steroid shot and percocet. I asked AI if the glow stack had anything to do with this event and it’s said possibly. Anyone have anything like this? I thought it would have been prevented by faking glow but boy was I wrong!

There is a group that is closed/waitlist that is going to send the same batch peptide to several labs and see if the results are the same. I would love to see the results.

The video goes over a few studies that I believe have been looked at and some say were grossly exaggerated. The thing that got me concerned is the fragments. Dr. William Seed said the same thing last year.

Peter Magic, the owner of Janoshik said he has never had a peptide test positive for heavy metals. He said 100s or thousands tested.

@randy I watched a video today on YouTube that got me concerned. Do you know if this is true?
MANUFACTURING & PURIFICATION
→ Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) builds peptides one amino acid at a time
→ HPLC purification is the gold standard — and the biggest cost center
→ Unregulated labs cut corners here, resulting in deletion sequences, incomplete deprotection, and heavy metal contamination

Having a wrong or incomplete amino acid chain can still produce results but they also may produce inflammation or autoimmunity. Thoughts?

@Randy most suppliers are out of stock. Amazon has some currently. Could you please recommend a brand on Amazon?

@quicksilver80 it’s the same as reconstituting your peptides. You measure out the liquid and mix in a sterile vial.

@randy thoughts?

@Randy did you try to google them? They don’t have a website. They are a verified vendor with STG. There is a Zlz peptide website but it’s not them and their prices are high. If you want to talk about high prices, Nexaph is crazy. It’s shocking that there are so many testing groups for this vendor. I get that they have a good reputation but not that good to spend double. With that said I do trust your opinion on many things in peptide world!

If you buy 1-5 kits from the same vendor and hopefully the same batch, should you test every kit or just a few vials? For example if I order 5 kits of NAD should I test 2 vials? Or can I just test one vial?

@Randy janoshik not Hanoi! I do love Hanoi though. Spent a month in Vietnam 5 years ago.

@Randy what are the differences between purity and potency? They are saying research grade is not as potent. Does Hanoi test for potency? Or is that just the Milligrams in the vial?

He is trying to say that these peptides from China are all bad and we should only be using these “safest “ peptides. I think 99% of the peptides 503a pharmacies carry are from china. Thoughts?

Also he says the peptide fragments can be dangerous if they are not 99.9%.

@Randy I am looking at Zlz. If you google them the website is not the same. I am in a group for them. I can dm you the price list if you want. Also I found a very interesting website for protocols.

I really want to order from innopeptide. There prices are really good and they are direct from China. But I do what to get it tested. I would like to share the costs. If all goes well, this could be a good china direct supplier. Unless someone knows of another one?

I just looked at there prices and they are very high. You would be better off buying from another vendor like innopeptides and getting it tested yourself. If you need just a individual then chimera or mile high or EZ is the better priced by far.

@beachfun I have not looked into making sprays. I didn’t know you could do this! I will be checking this out! I still need to research how to get all the pieces together with ordering, what to test and filtering properly. I still am a little unclear when to test. If the supplier is testing, do I test also? Or if I find a big testing group, should I just buy from the batch they tested?? I would love it if Jeff and Randy would do a q and a webinar on zoom or something. Maybe submit the questions before hand? Do this once a quarter?
