To couch things in forum terms I'll discuss my rat's recent experience.

It has really bad luck with hamstring pulls and slight tears. Typically it happens 1 or 2 times a year while playing soccer with younger rats and it forgets it isn't a young rat anymore. 3 weeks ago our little friend had the worst hamstring pain in years at the end of a game (probably dehydrated and trying too hard). Typically a bad hamstring strain will leave our rat limping for a few weeks and unable to run for 3-4 weeks with less ones hindering the rat for 1 week.

This time the lil fella started KLOW (bpc/tb4/ghk-cu/kpv) 2 x day doing 250mcg/250mcg/mcg/1.25mg/250mcg respectively. Dosing was split in the am/pm around breakfast and dinner. Not sure it matters but the theory is having it available while food and energy was available was best for letting it do its work. I went with the KLOW mix to pick up the collagen boost from copper and inflammation help from the KPV. Checking around the vendor price list found KLOW for not much more than some sites plain wolverine blend.

He is also doing 200mcg/200mcg cjc/ipa fasted in the evening and 100mcg/100mcg in the am 1 hour before breakfast.

Its subjective but after what had been the most painful hamstring injury of the rats soccer life within 1.5 weeks he was back to light jogging and was running 2 miles at a moderate to quick pace by 20 days from the injury.

Otc supps are:
Collagen Protein 20 g 2x day
Whey Protein 10–20 g 2x day
Vitamin C (Ester-C) 1,000 mg 3x day
Vitamin D3 5,000–10,000 IU 1x day
Vitamin K2 (MK-4 + MK-7) 180–1,000 mcg 1x day
ZMA pre-bed
Omega-3 / Fish Oil 3x day

Have you looked at Nexaph? They are a good middle ground with COAs and no need for bitcoin. At least for now on my bulk stuff I'm using them instead of full grey market.

Did anybody get Nexaph's Tesamorelin? Is it a good quality one? They have no ready COA for the one they sell now.

Also, I wouldn't be so alarmed about 100% purity. Tools have an error margin. It is usually both ways: +-, like +-0.005%. If your measured value is 100.000% +-0.005%, it means it can be 99.995% - 100.000% (obviously it can't be over 100%). I take it this way.

Testing their tesa/ipa blend now. It’s doing well for my little rat.

Not sure how needle averse you are but if I could go back and give myself advice I'd offer this:

1. Start low (you are doing it)
2. Use HCG not enclomephine ( I responded poorly to it, others have good results)
3. Do frequent injections. I tried weekly, eod, every mon/wen/fri for test and hcg. The mon/wed/friday is where I settled on as a happy spot. It leaves weekends open, levels stay nice and even.
4. Use pens (they work for hcg and trt (29g needle) )

One of the questions was cost comparison, do you know how the math for cost and blood work results work out for running 2mg of tesa/ipa at night vs just adding another 2 iu of HGH?

Never done HGH personally so just curious how it works out.

I tend to avoid mixing mine. Just not a lot of good data on what can combine and what can't.

The exception would be making combos that already are very common. Like say you wanted to combine tesa and ipa in one vial but at a different ratio than tesa/ipa combos usually come in. That I would combine.

We helped a friends older dog with a back injury/arthritis. It is 12+ years old and has issues with rear leg mobility due to arthritis. He did 6 weeks of klow at around 125mcg (based on bpc/tb/kpv I forget the math for ghk-cu on it) twice day. At the end of the 6 weeks he noticed a significant improvement. The dog was able to use stairs and jump up on the couch again. Where as they previously had to pick him up, which isn't easy with a 60lb doberman

Yep, short needles and anything over 15 units will leave bumps on my poor rat subject. Longer 1/2" needles rarely leave a bump on him.

Being so new, I dont know any better but I thought 1/2" would become IM and not SubQ. Is the trick just to angle that baby in?

The angle and the pinch. I'll usually pull up a bit of my rats skin between my thumb and finger then inject in there. Like this:

I started with one. Now I have six and am looking for more. Just waiting for ones with full caps to come back in stock.

Another vote for the Xulin + 29g 1/2" needle. Works great.

Yep, short needles and anything over 15 units will leave bumps on my poor rat subject. Longer 1/2" needles rarely leave a bump on him.

I hope the video comparing pens shows up on rumble soon. I've got a few friends I'd like to send it to.

@researchcat I find different models have different personalities. Gemini is pretty liberal, and insightful about peptides. Claude is a bit more traditional, but very very detailed. The two of them together in my experience provide better results than one alone.

Tweaking your agent definition can erase a lot of the personality issues.

I'd recommend looking at a "klow" stack or adding kpv. My rat really enjoys the inflammation and collagen help the klow stack brought during a recent injury. Gen pep has klow for not much more than a wolverine bottle.

Like the title says anyone have a good vendor for methylene blue 5mg caps or tabs? Everyone seems to do 25+ mgs. My rat does not seem to tolerate those doses very well.

I appreciate it but liquid methylene blue is a pain. I've got some of it now and it works but easy to stain your tongue with and may the universe help you if it spills...

@Stan-Douglas I’ll give it a try. I was afraid it works stain the cup or teeth doing it that way.

Vendor name: Disguised alpha
Discussion type: Review, customer service and shipping
Peptide names:

• Reta
• HCG
• Semax
• Selank
• Provigorous

Over all vendor opinion: Great service and product selection. Prices are high-ish.

So far my ittle rat has used all of the things listed above. HCG did exactly what is expected, as did the reta. The provigorous has been a great pre-workout for him. The little rat muscles get crazy pump even when nutrition up to the workout hasn't been ideal.

Semax and Selank were the individual nasal kits. Selank worked well, the semax I wasn't super impressed with. But I hesitate to say if that was DA's fault or just the rat not being a responder. I will say the nasal sprayer wasn't ideal. Seems like the number of sprays vs expected sprays were a bit off. But it was my first time using one so maybe I goofed on the calculations.

Customer service has been top notch. I made one order while out of town and realized two things. First, I ordered the wrong item for one thing and that it would arrive before I got back into town (my rat has a hard time opening the door alone). I emailed them and within 45 minutes had a reply that they would delay shipping and swap out my wrong order (price for the item was the same). Everything arrived as expected and on time.

Also, on one of the first rounds of pre-order for ProVigorous they had an issue with damaged products being shipped to them. They notified me via email with a new expected shipping date. It was only a week out so no big deal to me. They delivered I think 1 or 2 days before the new later date and included an extra bottle of Provigorous to compensate for the delay.

Shipping speed is good. Orders have shown a tracking number the same day or next day depending on when I ordered (matched their description of shipping times). And the items arrive in 2-3 days, cold packaging and shipping insurance are optional.

Prices are on the higher side, but not crazy. Usually if you catch them running a sale or find a 20% off code from various influencers the prices for single vials get more reasonable. They are definitely within the range of reasonable expense for the customer service and wide selection of items in stock.

The payment options are nice as well, cc with no fee, apple pay, bitc for a discount etc.

Over all I'd give them a 5/5.
