I recently had a couple vials of NAD from EZ Peptides with zero vacuum. I reported this to them and I got a very generic...."sorry to hear about this issue, low to no vacuum does not affect safety of the product"....It bothered me but I ended up using it. Still kinda bothers me though.

And now I have to spend more money ‍️

@rainrunner98 Here it is.

Yes, bloodwork will be required by a doctor or TRT clinic and to be honest you might as well prepare yourself to spend a decent amount of money on recurring bloodwork just so you can keep an eye on different blood markers.
Now, if you don't need Testosterone, don't start it just because....If you're in your 30's or 40's and starting to develop low T symptoms then its something to look into. Im 46, and just started Test this year (wishing I had started 10 years ago but thats just me). My T level was in the 400's which isn't clinically considered low but I had a lot of the symptoms so I went through an online clinic to get mine. Sometimes you need to treat the symptoms not just the numbers. Theres a good Testosterone specific thread in the forum here, just search for it if you want to read through some of the comments.

Peptide wise...HGH or GH secretagogues like Tesamorelin, CJC/Ipa. If you're not already looking at it...The "Holy Trinity" is Testosterone, GH, and Reta, just something to consider. I also use DSIP to help with better sleep.

Should be interesting to see how this affects pricing and availability.

This is the app Ive been using for a couple months now. Pretty straightforward and user friendly.

@ResearchCat I never had any acid reflux issues while one Reta until recently I started 5mg daily tadalifil and its absolutely horrible. I started taking 10mg of pepcid along with the tadalifil. Does the water have an effect also? Ive been drinking at least a gallon a day to help with high hematocrit.

@Randy Thank you very much, I appreciate that.

Don’t suppose anyone knows of a replacement Xulin pen cartridge holder? Mine cracked right at the top of the needle threads.

Low dose daily tadalifil.

You know Maxx gonna be pissed.

@jackiee I think I ran across that one. I think one of the best responses I saw was “Strap in and enjoy the ride!!!”

Reddit is basically the Walmart of online info. I dip in there occasionally but I know Im always in for some kind of shit show.

I think the lowest gauge pen tip Ive seen is 28.

I know some just throw the sprayers away after use but if you want to safely re-use them….Whats the best method to sufficiently sanitize them for reuse?

Im currently using a Gansulin and Convi’s in my rotation. Ive just given in to using 29g 8mm for everything even my Test Cyp in MCT….Zero issues. Can confirm, at least for me, that 31g tips the auto pens did not like.

@Falc Facts!!!

@rodneymoody Unless you’re looking for UG sources…there are plenty of online clinics that can hook you up. They will require bloodwork and a “consultation” but should be fairly easy to get.
