Hopefully Trevor Bachmeyer gets nuked next, before too many folks start to mistake him for someone worth listening to.

Ok, I’m done.

I figured since I survived the anthrax vaccine, peps should be ok

Personally, I’m holding off until after I see the results from this round of researching… but it does seem like a more convenient option.

UPDATE:
Cain at Nexaph responded quickly and went ahead and applied the additional $47-off to match the current price. I felt like that was fair given the circumstances I mentioned above. Anywho, thumbs up from me w Nexaph transparency.

@BeeKind Way to go! Keep it up! Eat protein & lift heavy! Nice work!

Happy that everything worked out well. A mistake like this with CJC/IPA would have been a friggin nightmare. It may have helped having a genuine injury while also getting that many steps in as a sort of physical-therapy session to keep the joint movin. Definitely stay properly hydrated & get some sleep. Good mistake to learn from tho, happy you’re ok.

@diegoc Agreed. Sometimes the gear-chasing rabbit-holes can bum me out. I haven’t had any issues with the bulk pen-carts from Amazon nor the 50-pack of LocoFiltrs nor the Furwey “sterile” empty vials… but if I grow a 3rd arm, they’ll be the reason why.

I’m on week-15 of Tirz and have been doing split-dosing for the last 6 weeks. I’m at 3.5mg/twice a week. I’m only down 15lbs, but I’ve been hitting protein goals, lifting, taking creatine, etc…. so the body-composition is better than the scale indicates. Bloodwork has improved and cholesterol levels made a big leap in the right direction. My worst side-effects were like a 4 day window after bumping up to the 5mg/wk dose (sulfur-burps, lotta pooping)… but that was back in week-4 and I haven’t had ANY of that since. I’m with ya on just wanting to cut out food-noise and eat better… lowest effective dose. I almost wish I’d jumped on the Reta bandwagon, but things seem ok where I’m at so I don’t wanna quit something that’s working.

@pep_researcher Agreed. Mine has a “6” (or “9”) printed on the bottom of it. I think it’s safe to say a letter or number on the bottom is ok (could be associated with batch), but a recycle-logo is not ok.

Someone should make a sexy chart for Hospira BAC that lists things that SHOULD be present and things that SHOULD NOT be present (that have been seen on known fakes).

Great info so far tho!

It should work for what you’re tryin with 3 separate 1ml vials… don’t skip the breather-needle.

Question for yall: so I ordered Mots-C from Nexaph on June 30th based on the test-results they showed from Dec/2025. I assumed they marked the kit down from $248 to $188 because they’ve had them for 6mo. I still have them in the freezer, but after seeing what you all were talking about, I checked the batch# and noticed it’s the lot that tested 97% purity on July 2nd (2 days after my order). So… should I contact Nexaph and ask about a return? Or ask about the additional $47 discount? Should I just double-filter these & roll with it? Should I toss these? What say you? This is my first order from Nexaph.

Honestly, if it’s working for you at that dose, don’t feel pressured to change to the higher-dose protocols. I’ve read some folks will blast an entire 10mg vial several times a week for a few weeks and it seems weird (and expensive) to me. I’ve had mixed/poor results with Mots-C… I basically worked up to 2mg daily for a couple weeks and I don’t really notice much. If it’s one of those peptides that requires purchasing a 10-vial kit and running thru ALL of them in under a month in order to MAYBE have a little more energy, I might have to hard pass. The itch ain’t worth it. That’s just my take tho, others may be more helpful.

@PeptideEd Valid point. Thanks. It wasn’t a massive order or anything. I may just have to see if my lab-rat responds any different to the same compound sent during the summer on this one. It’d be cool to see a larger study done on degradation at higher temps to see at what rate vials lose potency over a standard shipping timeframe.

@rarobl27 never had nosebleed issues with nasal selank or semax before. However, my research rat only reconstitutes with the 0.9% sterile-saline, no BAC. For a cheap experiment, maybe try using ONLY the sterile-saline in the spray-bottle and see if you still get nosebleeds. If so, then you may just have very sensitive nasal passages. If not, then try reconstituting semax with just the saline and see how ya feel.

@brianluna Good-on-ya for the self-reflection & positive correction. Slow & steady for the win! I’m on Sun/Wed as well… and can still enjoy going out to eat w the fam on the weekends without over-doing it. The scales can be deceiving, bloodwork-tracking, how-I-feel & how-clothes-fit seem like better markers for me at this stage. Keep it up!

I jumped onto the peptide bandwagon about 6mo ago and it’s been TREMENDOUSLY helpful so far. I found a vendor on here that actually ships from inside my state (KS). Recently I switched up vendors to try to diversify a bit. I thought Mile-High-Compounds was from CO, but the tracking info says that it shipped from Tempe, AZ… which has a high of 105°F today. I work at a shipping/delivery company and I know trucks become ovens. TLDR- how torched and worthless are peptide vials sent in this heat? I lucked out getting into peps during winter, so should I just wait til cooler temps again? I was actually trying to plan the order around a cooler-temp window between CO & KS… hopefully they still turn out ok. I’ll probably just stick with that first company I lucked out with in my state. Anyone else have a take on peptide degradation in the summer heat during shipping?

@kristal PetideCritic put out a good video testing the shelf-life & stability of a few reconstituted peptides at room-temp… tirzepatide was one of them. Tirz was also the most solid of the bunch. Just from what I’ve gathered over the last few months, it does seem like peptides are more robust than some folks would have you believe. Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/lI4am0U49N4?is=dITKJF7yNWXMmwx-

@Stevepep Dude, it sounds like you’re killin’ it already. Congrats! As a father-of-4 in his 40s, I wish I could dedicate that much time to improve myself. Keep it up! I agree w the recommendation to just try out a vial or two… but also maybe ask yourself what your ultimate goal is? It’s hard to see from this angle what additional improvement you could gain from Mots-C sprinkled on top of your Olympic regimen

Mostly thru a vial of DSIP and may just toss it. Does nothin for me.

I just got a few Epithalon vials to try for sleep (not telomeres)… but keep getting mixed reports on whether or not to take it at sunrise to align circadian-rhythm or before bed.

I did a few vials of Pinealon at one point, but was trying it for cognitive stuff in the morning… so I missed out on evenings.

Maybe I just need to swap timing on a few of these. Can’t afford to try all peptides forever At least now I’ve got a few peptides that I trust for the long haul (none above), so I’m grateful for that.

…wish I could get that CJC/IPA sleep I was getting on the first few weeks of it! Still chasing that
