Peptide Critic Community

Peptide Critic FO SHO! But I also like Alex Tatum, Nick Trigili, Dr Jones DC, and Ashley Froese. Not a fan of "Dr" Trevor Bachmeyer.

@Commander um…. YOU posted in this thread.

Now kick yourself in the Jimmy.

I get what you’re saying, I do. I think if you would take a step back and realize you are both better off, and just “better” than the rest of us, it might ease your mind.

What your comments fail to recognize is your ability to do so. Some, I’ll use myself as the example, am not financially able to do what you suggest. Nor do I think it’s even logical to buy from a place like Nexaph at a premium then test again. Might as well buy the greyest cheapest you can find and go that route.

Nor do I have access to insurance to go about this the safest way possible and just spend the thousands through a Dr for FDA approved shit.

I worked my ass off to raise a family for over 3 decades, and now find myself unemployed and living off the nest egg I built without insurance, and quite honestly betrayed by the very industry that professes to keep us healthy. So I take it into my own hands. MY hands. Which means my decisions.

“Idiotic”? Maybe. Desperate not to die young as my genetics and long family history suggest, absolutely.

Your post, while I’m sure is well intended, is tone deaf and a narrow view. I’m happy you can do it the way you’re doing it. Well done sir.

@pep_researcher I bought a 3-pack recently to do a test.

Their website says "sterile water", when the bottles showed up it is labeled as "Deionozed", so I emailed them.

Now, point of clarification; deionized water is just that, ran through a bed of resin to exchange ions to make it DE-ionized. Its meant to remove certain constituents and make the water close to inert conductively. You can make sterile water from deionozed water... by treatment to kill pathogens from a chemical, thermal, UV, filtration, or even gamma/E-beam technology.

Anyways, I emailed them and decided I would post their reply here.

As a matter of interest, I also learned that Lambda IS Peptide Crafters, as noted ont heir COA's. I didnt realize that before. Im sure most of you know this already, but I bring it up because the test that wa slinked earlier in this chat show both brands being tested, but with different results. This, along with the Hospira failure (although passing on its replicant test) tells me their testing method was not very sound.

Also found this blurb about the stated "1.3 uS/cm" requirement. This indicates the industry standard for "UltraPure Water" (UPW). Info below.

@Stevepep I agree. I am on several others, but I like this community the most.

Thanks for the info and posts. I ended up going with another online lab for bloodwork since they had what I thought was a great deal for 2 years with of testing, and I get my first draw later this month. Very excited to see what Reta and my lifestyle changes look like as compared to 2-3 years ago. Im obviously hoping for the same excellent outcome as you.

Crush and Nexaph have quickly become my go-to, and only found them through this Fan-Fuggin-Tastic community and site. Big shout out to @randy for what has been put together here.

And, admittedly, @stevepep while I dont love you enough to stalk you and run AI agents to track down your affiliations… I do very much appreciate the info you’ve shared.

Ill also add that the concern of mycoplasma does not seem to be of high concern, since it has a very hard time surviving the lyophilization AND rehydration process, not even adding in the 0.9% alcohol we are all using in our BAC water.

@Canineriot exactly. It does not take an overly intelligent person to look through the data on NIH/WHO/HHS to see the fuckery that was happening. "Disgusting" is the polite word for it. I prefer "criminal".

@Eleanor CANT BLAME A GUY FOR HAVING A CHRISTMAS WISH!!!

Well, there goes any (real or imagined) benefit Crush had for me. TBH, I have still ordered more from Nexaph because of what I’m learning about their testing. Love to see this and hope it does not increase price.

$23 for whatever the BAC water is. LMAO. Ok , Rory…

@Eleanor I dont recall seeing "Aminos Analytics" before, but Im new to this. I will say that after Commander was an asshat the other day (hugs and kisses big guy) Ive been searching around at labs, and see some disturbing info. There are some indications that the peptide sellers and manufacturers are not the only thing we should be worried about. One other testing lab has been called out for not being who they say they are, and not even having Mass Spectra equipment to do the testing they claim to do. True? Who knows... but the whole damned industry seems filled with shitheads willing to scam you.

So now, are we going to test the labs that do the tests, from the tests that were apparently done during manufacture? How many times do we have to test, retest, re-retest...

Trusting a "lab" that you haven't personally done an inspection on, validated their equipment, confirmed their calibrations and standards etc... Well, I think we can all agree, thats just "idiotic".

Lemme throw a wrench in this discussion.... Crush is sending legit Hospira. I received a 3-pack for a friend just last week, and it was Hospira.

I went into this with the idea and acceptance that I would be taking something for the rest of my life. GLP, Peptide/ Insulin... whatever. I know my genetics and T2D is a 100% guarantee if I do nothing, so i chose GLP for now and it has absolutely changed the game with my BG. So, if I can take a maintenance/micro dose after i hit my goal I will. Beats the other options in my opinion given the other positive benefits it looks to give.

Tons of great info here that is helping me get started as well. Do yourself a huge favor and spend some time, if you havent already, here: https://peptidecritic.com/tutorials

Very useful "How-to" videos that answer alot, most, of the questions us newer folks have.

@Stevepep Having been in manufacturing for 30 years, I can tell you that finding people foaming at the mouth on the line (literally from OD) is way more common than you think! Appreciate the info. Will look into Discord. This message board is great.

It’s an open cell foam, so it should not hold any moisture.

Review

Super happy so far... heavy emphasis on the "so far" since I have not started my Chihuahua's research on it yet. COA and documentation was clear and easily found, and cross-referenced on labs site. Lot #s matched the COA's and all bottles, at least to my very untrained eye, are in great shape with nothing inside or outside giving me concern. Plus I love the additional testing I see for endotoxin. Im a fan so far and plan to return for more assuming my Chihuahua dont be deaded afterwards.

Ill feel just fine using 0.22um filters. This is the filter media used in aseptic food manufacturing and nutraceuticals. 0.22um is the defined threshold for "commercially sterile", and is the standard for all but the highest pharma filtering. But actually, I would argue it is also the standard there given the vast availability of that filtering media, as compared to 0.1um.

For context, there are foods made using this standard for very weakened and frail people; think post surgery, cancer patients, and even those that get fed through a tube which would be the highest possible standard for "food". Even these, the 0.22um "commercially sterile" standard is used.

@Stevepep Also my understanding, the toxins remaining from initial bacterial growth and death. So we can theoretically filter the bacteria, but not the toxin left behind.

@Newenough Plenty of pretty cheap online blood lab places. Theres even a section on this site to link you to them. I decided on Function Health. Screw the medical/insurance racket.

@michellefouch Unless you go grey market, I think Nexaph is about as good as it gets. Crush sold out quick this morning.
