@ResearchCat Exactly. Take it orally if you care the most about the benefits for your gut and stomach. Some non-zero amount of smaller peptides is absorbed though LAT & PEPT1 transporters, especially on an empty stomach. Sublingual absorption is a lot different though, there are difficulties there too (acetylated & amidated versions work better) but there may be a better systemic absorption this way.

I happened to have a Glow Aminos Reta 30mg batch from the same production and testing dates in the COA as the ones where there was an issue reported about in this this thread. My experience was much different with this same production run. The Reta with my research so far has been really good, reconstitution and effects from utilization also have been fantastic. To be clear GL-010064 = the GL for Glow and FL is the Flawless but the batches and production runs look the same as everything matches up between the sister companies. FG3-R for Flawless and Glow are March 2026 testing by freedom all done on March 15th 2026 and requested March 12th 2026. 10mg -> FL/GL-010062 20mg ->FL/GL-010063 30mg -> FL/GL-010064 I reconstituted two vials side by side, the TB-500 is the control in this test from a kit from Growth Guys Jano tested just to see the difference in reconstitution with Pfizer Bac water. No shaking or swirling and photos taken immideately after the water was put into both vials and done so by slowly allowing the water to run down the side of the vial with the vaccum drawing in the solution. Both Bac water and peptides were at room temperature. I started with the TB-500. Results are in the pictures. But the Reta disolved better than most peptides I have reconstituted and was clear before i had put in the last ml of Bac water in. I was impressed with how smothly it reconstituted and have only ever witnessed this this with BLL labs products where no swirling or hand rolling is needed or leaving it sit for a few minuts like I did for the TB-500 in these pics becasue some product remains in the corner and needed time to disolve.

@MJ227 said: Just wanted to give everyone an update because I'm honestly pretty disappointed with how this has been handled. I was told my refund would be taken care of, but I still haven't received anything. My payment was made through Zelle, and I've been checking regularly with no payment or transaction showing up. At this point, it's frustrating. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable—I received a bad product, then a replacement that was even worse, and all I wanted was a refund. I really hoped this would have been resolved by now. I'll continue to update this thread if anything changes. That's absolutely ridiculous that you still have not received your refund.

Flawless and Glow at the very least share the same customer service. I had some issues with my Reward points on my Glow account, and they transferred it to my Flawless account. They both run the same sales just about every time I've received updates from them. Southern's prices are much higher than F and G All in all, the three companies provide superior customer service and have researched with each with positive results

I have had no issues with Flawless and customer service was as good as any. Good luck.
