Review

The system will only allow me to choose one peptide for the review, but I have bought many from them since finding them. Quality has been very good! They use batch numbers and testing for purity, quality, quantity and endotoxins. Every peptide I've purchased from Verified has been excellent. AND the pricing is one of the best! Highly Recommend!

Direct sunlight is MUCH more damaging to peptides than heat! Photons degrade peptides and break the covalent bonds rendering the peptides useless after just days of direct exposure. According to a study in the Journal of Peptide Science, UV light exposure for just 48 hours can reduce the potency of certain lyophilized peptides by 15% to 20%. Heat takes weeks or months to cause that level of damage to freeze dried lyophilized peptides. I think it would do damage, but not much, if the peptides were in a shipping container in 110 degree Fahrenheit heat for a week or more. I get that after reading that journal of peptide science article reporting. https://adonyxbio.com/the-art-and-science-of-storing-lyophilized-peptides-a-deep-dive-into-stability-and-longevity/ and the reports below.

AND THIS ONE HITS THE HEAT THRESHOLD almost perfectly.

"lyophilized peptides easily tolerate brief, transient heat exposures up to 40°C–45°C (104°F–113°F) during transit with no measurable loss in purity. Thermal energy alone simply lacks the power to easily break covalent bonds in a completely dry, glassy matrix."

@Eleanor HAHA! That's pretty funny.
And totally true! Example: Iraq in July 138 F, Ft Benning GA in July 98 w/90% humidity. MUCH hotter at Benning!! Much more miserable! Not even close! Lol

@PeptidePete Yes! I have been using both for about 6 months. I honestly can't say how much I feel with the Klotho, but it's more about blood work anyway. I have better Kidney function and my blood markers show that since starting. Don't know if it's worth the money since I don't have significant health issues that Klotho would address anyway. But it is supposed to be the longevity peptide.

The FLGR 242, a different story. It has allowed me to drop Reta to a microdose since it burns fat so effectively. I'm a 61 year old man and have been on TRT for 6 years. Since taking the FLGR-242, I have put on more muscle and gotten ripped. I have always worked out and had good muscle size. Now it is a little bigger and like I said, ripped.

Klotho may be doing other amazing things that I don't see. That's why I still take it, but I am taking the FLGR 242 because of the results I can see. It's really a fantastic product! Hope that helps.

@brandenscheidecker What is your goal with the HGH? The reason I ask, I take 2IU every evening because I am not using it to get huge. I work out and am at my goal weight and size, so I take what I need to maintain and get the longevity benefits without side effects. 4IU/day is a pretty hefty dose and you will probably get sides with it; insulin resistance which could lead to HGH belly, carpal tunnel syndrome, and it can spike your cortisol. If you took 4IU per day for a couple of years, you could get worse sides that change your body composition. If you are taking it for longevity 1IU is great. If you want to assist with muscle building and fat loss - then up to 2IU. If you are a body builder you can take 4IU/day but know there will be side effects from it - and I wouldn't do it for months, just weeks, and then titrate down.
Someone on the forum may disagree with me, but I've seen this happen to friends of mine. HGH is great but must be used with caution. Hope that helps.

On Southern Aminos website, I viewed Adamax (that's what I was looking for).
When I clicked on the selection, I had two options Adamax Prime ($42) and Adamax Apex ($70.40). When I looked at the COAs, they both showed only Adamax and at a 99.3-99.5% purity (roughly). My point is that both vials, per the MOA, have 10mgs of high purity Adamax. Why is one significantly more expensive. Like I said, the COAs only show Adamax; neither are blends and Both Show 10mgs.
I asked via email,

"Please explain the difference between Adamax Prime and Adamax Apex? They appear to both be the same amount in mgs, and both high grade Adamax, so why is Apex much more expensive? I thought perhaps Apex was a blend, but no other peptides are shown on the COAs.
I want to buy Adamax but need to know the answer to my question before making a purchase."

I have not received a response to my email, which was sent three days ago. If someone knows, please let me know. I purchased Adamax from another vendor this time, but with 60% off, I wanted to take advantage and get a lot.
Thank you!

@jamiegallien You're on HRT, right? If not, I highly recommend it. It will do nothing but help in EVERY category almost. Not TOO much, just what you are lacking to get to optimal. No need to hang at low normal. I tested 7 years ago at 363. I think at the time the range of normal was 360-1500. They've since lowered the upper range to 750 or close to it. That's because (whatever reason) young men and men in general have lower testosterone levels than my generation. Crazy, it's probably from multiple factors: plastics, food additives, sitting in front of a game console/tv/laptop instead of playing outside, etc. But the main thing is this: There is NO reason to walk around at sub-optimal when you don't have to. I found a doc who told me the same and got me to 1500 where I have been since. I feel much better, have more energy, higher libido, better focus, less brain fog..." So many positives. Good Luck and keep up the good work.

@MyB Randomly picked your post instead of anyone else on this thread:
Why do I need these? I have a zip up case that will hold all my vials and keep it in the fridge once reconstituted? So, why do I need multiple portable ones? If the answer is for traveling, when I am traveling, I put my large case in a cooler with freezer packs and transfer to my condo fridge when I arrive; or for my work day in the office, my cooler zip up case that holds just what I need during the day.
I think these look cool, but I am trying to see the actual need for them if you don't mind. Are these in lieu of the zip up vial storage units?

Not trying to be a jerk in any way, I assure you. Thank you! And of course, anyone else, please respond.

@WisGal64 You saved me from having to say that. Thanks! I remember the first time I logged onto Nexaph and saw the prices. I knew it had to be for a reason. Didn't take long to see it was for 10 TEN Vials. Great prices, actually! And I believe they are affiliated with EZPeptides, another great RUO company! If you are on Nexaph and click on single vial purchase it takes you to EZpeptides site. That's all I'm going on, but I would not do that with my business unless there was a connection to the linked company.

@Jake_PepTron Great question! I don't know 100% at what temperature peptides start to quickly degrade, but I do know this 100% - Lyophilized peptides are WAY more hardy than you think...and what you are led to believe. BUT, and it's a BIG but, like I said, I do not have the data on super high temps and peptide degradation. But Lyophilized peptides are hardy.

So I ordered from LN Peptides, but on Telegram, lol. Prices were amazing on most things and just a little better than Nexaph on a couple. We'll see. Thanks! Hopefully the Telegram LN is the same as the WhatsApp LN. Lol

Oh, and be careful with the FLGR-242 injections. Do not get it into your muscles. It can cause big reaction knots that stay for awhile if you do. Those reactions are noted on Jay Campbell's inner Sanctum Telegram private group page. I have never had any issues and I inject FLGR-242 twice a week 2.5mg per injection. I am now backing off to do 1mg twice per week, as I have gotten the results I was going for. Now I am in maintenance phase.
The Klotho, I inject IM twice a week as well, but have not increased dose since it can be dangerous to inject too much Klotho.

Some people have said it's the albumin binder that causes the reactions, but it can't be if you can IM the Klotho since both have the binder. It is something in the FLGR product that makes it bad for IM injections.

@Randy Considering that nearly all US RUO companies get their raw peptides from the same place in China, I think that unless you catch BLL on an amazing discount sale; 30% off everything then an additional 15% for using JayC code, then they are WAY high compared to Peptidology or EzPeptides/NEXAPH, etc.. I only buy their proprietary injectables like: Klotho (with two week half-life) and FLGR 242 (their follistatin with two week half life). Both are amazingly good products. They have allowed Paramount and I think another place to sell it too, but basically you have to get it from them, so I do. With everything else, you can get a peptide for a much lower price and now Peptidology is doing 14x testing, and the owner and staff are just AMAZING people! Peptidology also gives me (veteran's and first responders) a 20% discount. That is the highest I've seen in the market! Coincidentally Peptidology is testing a Klotho protein fragment, and if all goes well will be carrying KP1 soon. I will definitely try it although it will not have the same long half-life as BLL's, it shows in the testing that it accumulates benefit each time you use it. Thank you for your site! I think it's the best out here for Peptide conversations!

@Eleanor Not really, you get it. You don't have to be there to understand. You just need to be sweating bullets in a humid region one time and anyone will get it.

@PeptidePete Hello!
I can't say for sure if it's "better" IM. When I look at the research most of the injections were IM, so to be on the safe side I do it that way.
Since you've been Sub-Q'ing, maybe you could inject IM for six weeks and see if there are changes. I'd be interested to see. THis stuff ain't cheap though, so I don't really want to experiment. Lol

Good luck with it! I'm going to keep doing both Klotho and FLGR-242 for now. Still seeing great results from the FLGR-242! I now know enough people who are all gaining with it to say it is a fantastic compound!

At least 20 days. I usually don't buy larger than a 24iu kit (10 vials of 24iu). I reconstitute the one vial at a time and have never had any problems with efficacy. And I take 2iu daily. Each vial is only reconstituted 12 days max. I once got a 48iu genotropin pen, but I'm not sure about those. Geno is supposedly best but No one sells them that I really trust, so I just get the kits now.
I think that answers your question. If not, let me know.
