@randy PLEASE tell us you saved your videos to move to another channel?!

My hunch and semesters of Organic Chemistry paid off. I took the GIP out of the equation and the constipation is gone! No powdered muck, softeners, etc. (I figured most of you knew about this GIP problem already.) If you had normal movement before, you'll have it again. It takes about 2 weeks or so for the GIP to leave your system and the gut to relax into normal peristalsis and it's so worth it!

I've lost the vast majority of weight I needed to lose; the rest will be slower anyway and it's more than a fair trade-off for 30 minutes on the porcelain and an asshole that's sore, cracked and bleeding at times. The constipation caused more fatigue than I thought, therefore, more natural energy is returning. Anxiety also accompanied all this, whether conscious of it or not. Just a general feeling of relief followed this battle.

I realize there are many of you who don't mind taking the usual meds for this issue but please consider that there's a high likelihood you will be harmed by continued constipation; whether with polyps or worse. I'm speaking from experience.

For those of you who've reached a point where you don't want to fight it anymore, a combo of Cagri (on Fri night) & Survo (on Tues night) might help you and I take near starter doses of each. I can't swear for every individual on this forum, butt, it might be worth a try.

For the record, I do use other peps: NAD+buf & MOTS-C both in AM and KPV before bed.

Wishing Y'all great Holiday sales!

I still want a storage with "Wuhan Institute of Virology" on it, with the bat, Patient # and "Starter Kit". My absolute favorite of any I've ever seen. It will definitely keep at least a few people out of my peps!

@quicksilver80 I agree with you, but the caveat is that when the competition is fierce, prices usually come down, at least for those who cannot afford anything and not DIY, for whatever reason.

Hi @atlas
Please be very mindful of split dosing; I did it for months and glad I stopped. I feel sure you know what a peptide accumulation calculator is, please take a look and make sure it's what you want to do. Although you won't get the big dip, as I call it, your levels will rise and remain quite a bit higher than you think. If you pick something akin to Reta, it will pretty much double the GIP (Tirz) and make it very difficult to return to baseline and the glucagon hit will enhance the food noise, esp. for carbs.

I'm on the fence regarding the 'receptor burnout' hypothesis, but I think it likely, as the body always seems to develop resistance to so many substances.

I know the 15#'s is important to you, my last 20 is important to me; but if you get yourself in a fix you can't get out of, it's going to be rough. It's important to remember that these peps were not designed to eliminate all food noise, but to give you a fighting chance against it.

If you decide to use a glucagon pathway, be prepared; at least pick one that does NOT contain the GIP pathway (Tirz).

Here's a couple of calculators; there's better one's out there but this will tell you what you need to know.

Good Luck.

It took only about 48 or so hours for the Cartalax to ease my knee pain by more than 50%, and am pain free all day with only 1 injection.

The problem when I started is I was injecting in the morning when my knee was very sore upon waking. I switched to just before bedtime and well reduced pain the following morning and throughout the day.

Nice stuff!

@pep_researcher Based on your hunch? Well I have a hunch this could be a permanent rise in price, or at least, an extended one. I'll go the pack if @randy and a couple of others want to pitch in and have it tested. That's all I know to do.

On this site, there are groups of people that will go all the way to frickin' China for a deal, wait for God knows how long for it to arrive, pay to have it tested and won't even consider making a deal of sorts with a company that provides much, if not all of Australia with BAC, freely submitted test papers to me within an hour of request, office based in U.S., free shipping over an amount that seems reasonable,...keep going here.

Why should Pfizer lower their price on this? Why would such a corporation make it temporary in any way? Remember the email said IT'S A PFIZER DECISION, NOT A BACKWATER DECISION. Okay, maybe they're bullshitting. I don't have time to wait and find out and I'm betting others don't either.

BAC USA might at least be able to cut into the cost of using Hospira for much of the peptides, reserving their expensive Hospira BAC for just a few that MIGHT BE sensitive to pH, if that's the concern.

We're being held hostage of our own free will and I personally don't like it. I'm suggesting that a REAL move be made to encourage competition, because I'm a capitalist pig, proud of it and it's immediately the best way to go.

@Eleanor just a rumor but Nexaph may be doing something on the 4th. I am gonna need, multiple computers and screens. Bit coin mining has nothing on what I am bringing lol

SlobberIng is allow but no foaming at the mouth, please!

@Stan-Douglas The really nice thing I've found about mixing your own is that you don't have to go from 5 to 7.5; you can go to 5.5, or 6, etc. I found that even 1mg makes a difference. I'm at 6.5 right now and moving down. The only food noise I have is due to Survo 1mg and it doesn't last long. Although I'm no longer considered obese, I have a large amount of visceral fat left and need to get rid of it, and it is leaving, but it doesn't show up on the scale yet. I was told it would do this so I was prepared. At 70 yrs. of age, I will likely go to a form of micro-dosing Tirz and when enough visceral fat is gone, then, no more Survo.

There were a couple of vendors I think did well. 30% to start off with, buy three and cut it another 10% and use peptide critic code knocked off another 10%. What was nice to see is not having the price jacked up before the sale.

The best one was when I was tipped off that Southern Aminos had SS-31 at $6 for 10mg; even at 10mg, that's great price; unfortunately, there was a limit on # of vials. The COA on it was alright too. Now they've returned to the usual outrageous price of $59 for 10mg. They can kiss mine.

The 1000mg. NAD+ buf for $55 single vial, multiples were less and good COA at S1 Research was a honey for me; would have liked to have seen it closer to $40-$45.

Many of the 'sales' weren't worth a flip, a few were real nice. Guess one just has to be an avid hunter.

I think these vendors need to start thinking about the influx of competition over the next few months. I have made no promises to any of them to keep purchasing out of 'loyalty'. There's Labor Day, Halloween (scary), T'giving and Xmas coming up. GET WITH IT VENDORS! Let's see some hardcore markdowns!

@SkepticJen I do not take MOTS-C at all or Reta either.
Tirz, TA-1, SS-31, NAD+. About to finish Survo (glucagon pathway) & KLOW; won't be taking anything with copper again. Once TA-1 & SS-31 round is finished, won't do again for about 6 months. I always take NAD+; I worship it, LOL! Will be starting Cagri with the Tirz in Sept.

Looking Great! Congratulations!

I was going to buy a couple of kits this morning and found that ' pkg. insurance' alone on just one kit is $20! I have never paid even $5 for pkg insurance from any vendor. Didn't even want to move on to shipping charge.

Sorry Studz, I'm sticking with Nexaph and the few others who are more reasonable in their misc. add-ons.

@Eleanor I feel lucky to have not had any gastric issues while taking Tirzepatide + Survo. The only side effects I have had is dehydration, so I drink a ton of water every day.

That's great! I've had gastric issues before starting GLPs so doesn't bode well for me.

To All Others Who Haven't Tried This Yet:
Do your remember @quicksilver80 "nuclear option"?
1 part prune juice
1 part white grape juice
1 goodly sized pat of butter
Nuke for about 30 seconds then down the gullet

It works pretty well, isn't costly and DOES NOT HARM YOUR GUT! Only problem for me is it's not as fast as it might be for the average person who has a normal working gut without GIP; I was bound up pretty tight. My only avenue was to stop the GIP. So far, so good. Hope it lasts. Should know soon and I will let you know because my kind of constipation is dangerous.

Please try the nuclear option before anything else.

I thought about it when it first came out but settled on Wolverine plus KPV. They have the mix at Peptide Plugs but it's waaay more expensive than it should be. I've taken Cartalax by itself and IMO (just mine, okay), I think it will override everything else. If you haven't taken Cartalax before, I'd try it first before ordering $398 Deadpool right off the bat. If you want to make a mix yourself, buy some individual bottles and try it that way first. Just sayin'. Whatever you decide, I hope it works well for you!

Since the title of this thread is, "What Peptide(s) Did You Expect the LEAST From but Ended Up Impressing You the Most?", I can say that I did expect the weight loss peps to work and they do; no surprise with these peps. Was very surprised by KPV to relieve inflammation in my knee but had to take a full mg before it was noticeable. Tried Cartalax and others; all were very temporary and just didn't do it. When I upped the KPV, it was almost overnight. No placebo effect whatsoever with this one. Hoping someday a pep is found to take care of the EBV capsulates that cause the crushing fatigue I have that only let's up a bit with NAD+ & MOTS-C. Trying the Monolithin, on-going, in hopes the report is true that it breaks up the EBV caps left behind, likely to take a long time to do it though (reading 600+). I have no intention of trying a lot of new peps or supps. My gut can't handle oral supps or more peps and neither can my bank acct. I'll just have to deal with it. Ciao!
