Dovetailing on what @dstewartjr said, I dont understand the current ranking system. How is Southern Aminos ranked #2, if they are using labs, which a large number of this community frowns upon? I could point out more inconsistencies, based on general community sentiment, but this post is not intended to vendor bash. Is there an explanation of the rating system, other than the 1 sentence at the top of the vendor list that I am missing?

@mikebricker, your plan sounds good as well. I love not hitting double receptors. I'm looking foward to reading how your research goes!

@eleanor, thanks for the update. As noted before, I need to restart this research at 10mg Tirz and 1mg Survo. I have been stalled for the last 4 weeks, but 2 of those occurred during vacay. At least I didn't gain. That's a win!!! I'm interested in Elora, but want to finish some of my Survo stock first, while I wait for a possible Black Friday sale!

@pep_researcher, I honestly don't know. Maybe someone with a bit more Nexaph experience can answer that one.

@bmar , the email response was correct. Only NXP 1P, NXP 2P, and NXP 3P carry a 99% purity guarantee. All other products carry a 97% purity guarantee. See FAQ section on home page. @pep_researcher, i think the distinction here is guaranteed purity vs actual purity.

@Eleanor , thanks, you too. @randy , thanks, I'll try that. I have been toying with 10mg Tirz, but I've been nervous to increase while stacking.

@eleanor, I have been on ghetto reta for 1 month. Agree that nxp Survo reconstituted beautifully. I started at 7.5 Tirz and .3 survo. Felt nothing, then titrated up to .6mg after 1 week. Still nothing. I have been stalled on Tirz for weeks at 7.5 and before I went up in Tirz dose I wanted to add Survo to see if it would break the stall. Currently on 5mg Tirz and 1mg Survo. Results 2 b determined as I've been on a cruise 4 the past 2 weeks. Can't say much about appetite suppression, because I have been eating, more so than at home :). The only side effects I'm noting is increased RHR, especially while sleeping, and the slight burning sensation widely noted with Reta. I'll be back tomorrow so ill update you on any weight loss progress, though I suspect I may need to start this entire research project over again after the cruise! Blood work coming up soon.

Question: Based on the ghetto reta discussion it was noted, I believe, that survo had a "smaller hit " on glp1 than Tirz. But after someone posted a Pic of the binding propensity for each of the receptors in the Elora discussion, it appears that Survo has a stronger glp1 hit than Tirz. I've been adjusting Tirz, rather than going higher on Survo. If anyone opines that this is incorrect please let me know. @eleanor , I'll update you further in a few weeks, and please let me know ur experience.

I like the size of the v2 for smaller hands but the smoothness of the v4 can't be beat

Fyi, note what Southern Aminos states on product page:

QR Codes: QR codes printed on product vials are provided solely as a convenience to help customers access product information and Certificates of Analysis (COAs). QR codes should not be relied upon as the sole or definitive method of COA verification. Southern Aminos is not responsible for technical errors, scanning issues, broken or outdated links, device incompatibility, browser errors, third-party service interruptions, printing limitations, or any other technical issue that may affect the functionality or accuracy of a QR code. If a QR code does not scan properly, directs to an incorrect or unavailable page, or otherwise fails to function as expected, customers should use the official COA table located on the applicable product page to verify the current COA and batch information. The COA table on the product page should be considered the definitive source for COA verification.

My interpretation is that you got the freedom batch and the label is incorrect. Just my 2 cents.

@eleanor , I think I was the one you chatted with bout Survo. I will let you know how my research goes, but that won't be for a few weeks.

@stevepep , the Freedom COA is for 40mg which is out of stock. However, that was an interesting observation. They are trying other than ILS. I keep toying with my Nexaph shopping cart. I keep telling myself I don't NEED anything, yet I am drawn to the sale.

@eleanor, fair enough

@nuncles, no not bad, if you could secure such and such product met your risk tolerance level. While my screen was stuck, I could see other people's purchases flash across the screen!

It's the thrill of the chase more than anything. I really don't need anything. Its like finding toilet paper during COVID, lol. U might be able to put the item in your cart, but good luck checking out . I noticed the 3R had a note about the vial label purity and mass not matching COA. If I am remembering correctly, I believe someone posted about this very issue and reported that SA blocked them. Well apparently, they took note....

@Eleanor , I believe the limit was 3.

Flash deal now..

On their anniversary sale last week, a banner flashes at the top of the home page.

@eleanor , will do.

I see they had a change of heart on heavy metals, since I last corresponded with them back in May or June. They were the first vendor I bought from before I became moderately experienced, thanks to the fine community here.

Thank you, I will give it a go!
