@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!
@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.
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.

I figured since I survived the anthrax vaccine, peps should be ok 
The Cjc/Ipa & Wolverine blends have made the biggest difference for me as far as healing nagging injuries & rest/recovery. I only do the Cjc/Ipa before bed on an empty stomach. But some folks get a 30min flush & elevated heart-rate, so they take it fasted in the morning. Not a doctor… but I really think it could aid in recovery after surgery. The recommended starting dosages are low enough that you could try 1 or 2 vials out and know if it’s helping by the time you’re done with them. Best of luck!
@commander @stevepep So you guys have paid for services at Kovera and had vials tested? Nice! Decent pricing? Reasonable turnaround time? Reviews from paid customers seem like the only way this community will learn about labs, honestly. Like I said, I’ve tried products they’ve tested and felt they were legit.
Kovera really showed their ass on the forum early on… then walked it back. Look at the original thread with the owner. I don’t think they’re bad tho. I will also say that every peptide I’ve purchased from either Ascension or Mile-High (both use Kovera) have worked out very well and there have been no adverse reactions.
Honestly, at the end of the day, what options does anyone really have? It’s an unregulated market! Janoshik is the apparent overseas “gold-standard,” but no one feels comfortable ranking US labs and, frankly, have almost no ground to stand on as far as vetting all of them. It’s one of the most frustrating parts of this entire peptide rabbit-hole. Hopefully labs get better PR teams & transparency in general.
Truthfully, it’s one of those things that can really help for old-timers (40+ yrs). It’s helped me (42) a little bit, but it’s been to help with injury/recovery & sleep. Nothin sexy. At around 18, I don’t think the upsides are really there in using it.
If you end up doing it anyway, ask what your end-goal is… then research if cjc/ipa will even align with it. I’d also get bloodwork done at a local lab first (ask about igf-1 levels) to see where you’re at. Without a goal going into it and a baseline blood test, you can’t measure progress.
If I was talking to 18yr-old me, there are better things to spend money on Best of luck.
@elijahkpaugh Yea, I noticed the 15iu had 97.749% as well. I’m thinkin I might roll the dice. Not the lowest price/iu on earth, but worth testing out a few vials to see how things feel. Waiting on latest bloodwork first.
Anyone here ever tried HGH from PenguinPeptides? Any positive results? I’m sure it can be purchased cheaper through different channels, but I remember Penguin having decent reviews when they were on the Vendor-Directory here. I’d be willing to pay a little more in order to use a card… at least to give HGH a trial-run. What say you?
@stevepep @shaqdiesel
So late-afternoon/pre-bed worked out better than the “circadian alignment” morning-dose? Nice. Was this true for Pinealon AND Epithalon or just one?
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
@BeeKind Way to go! Keep it up! Eat protein & lift heavy! Nice work!
Hopefully Trevor Bachmeyer gets nuked next, before too many folks start to mistake him for someone worth listening to.
Ok, I’m done.
RIP PeptideCritic YouTube 
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.
@Stevepep Cool beans. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll shoot em an email and see what they say.
