Peptide Critic Community

I really like peptidecalc.io gas all the features you want and that all the other apps have except its a one time payment of $5.00 your data lives on your phone and you can sync it up to your personal health data.

for the right price i would be willing to be a peptide mule, just no vails over 10ml. Added bonus if any vitals broke in my stomach I would turn into the incredible hulk! lol

Tracking @randy express shipping peptide order…

Found the protocol or rather best practices. Again, in the interest of transparency. I tried the micro doses in multiple places and that hurt more the the liquid so I stopped, and like I said earlier used the upper glute right below my belt line and I do massage it for about 10-15 min just with my hand. Oh and letting it warm a little works the research does for my pangolin is 15units.

Subq, let me see if I can find the protocol
And post it.

As some have mentioned already, increase the bac water to dilute it, and use the inject in the glute, and I've been told that if you use a longer syringe 3/4-1in that it helps with the sting, the same person (who is a doctor) said you can massage the area afterwards because ghcku is not a delicate peptide. Which helps with dispersion and the sting. Full disclosure, I the glute injection site made the biggest difference for my research.

After seeing yalls labels, I need to step my label game up.

Good Evening, fellow researcher I recently came across a paper that discusses endo testing and some of the lesser known nuances. Since I'm not very familiar with endotoxins I am going to attach an AI addendum, that helped me better understand what I was reading.

@theone that is exactly what I'm trying to help with as I felt the same way getting started. Also, I ended up (in my opinion) purchasing peptides that were not what I should have started with as I learned more. I am by no means an expert but feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

@myb thank you for the heads up on changing the permissions to the links. Every thing should be viewable now. If its not let me know. @brandenscheidecker try opening it up now.

Below is a link to the first edition of the Peptide handbook it’s 200+ pages of peptide information per book in pdf form.

“Research”

@mfadden99, I agree with everything you said except it being clear that there was to be no outside links. When I read the rules it said to include any outside links that would be considered competition, and to not spam, farm or otherwise proposition group members in an attempt to sell them anything. The link was research and was in response to a linked posted by another member. Either way it doesn’t matter, it’s his community and he can run it however he wants, again I think his content is good, he seems extremely knowledgeable and can explain and breakdown peptides well. At the end of the day it just wasn’t a good fit for me.

@cwelsh, I think he does a decent job educating people on peptides by YouTube influencer standards. So far the best I’ve seen information I’ve seen on YouTube is from a guy named Jeff and his pet rat @randy. The dude never shows his face but I think he might be Chinese Jeff Wang possible, :). But my only gripe with Josh is I posted a link to a study another member asked about and 3 people told me I couldn’t do that, which I was ok with it’s not my group, and then I got a DM from Josh himself saying if I posted a link again I would be banned. Btw, I posted a he same link here with no negative feedback. Needless to say I just removed my self from the group after that. I will say I can’t stand that fake doctor Trevor something idk how valid his information is because of all the bragging he does, and tangents he goes off on. Sorry I’ll force myself to stop there.

Good Morning @randy, and anyone else that reads this post or has a suggestion. Would it be beneficial to include a section that we can upload “research” studies, books, cheat sheets, etc…I’ve found quite a few studies that I think the community could be benefit from especially newer member's like myself. In my mind this would have section for beginners that would answer basic questions about the forum, a great example would be attention, if you get a 3rd party test from Finnrick please check to see if the failure was due to an overfill, I mean that’s just an example example I made up I’m sure they never happens, lol. As of right now I have 5 or 6 research papers I think would be good to include. Also, I think anything posted in this section has to have some type of authoritative source, with empirical data to support it. So far the community has been awesome both admins, and members so if there is any way I can contribute to keeping it that way I’m on board!

@nate37 I just saw some on Etsy…link below. Make sure they fit and will work in your pen but they are advertised as sterile, and the price seems good! Caveat Emptor

That amazing! I lost my dog two years ago from a tumor on Valentines day. Its a long story but I didn't event want the dog but he turned out to be the best dog I've ever had. He was a 150lbs German Rottweiler. Fast forward to now and I was given another dog I didn't want a Royal Poodle! He just turned a year old, and he is too smart for his own good!

I came across this AI peptide builder that if definitely way over my head, but looks very interesting. You can sign up for their site and using AI, some prompts with a GUI to get a specially trained LLM to help you discover and analyze peptides all in plain english for the most part. Check them out if you get bored or you have a touch of the Tis like me and I think you'll find it interesting.

I think Uncle wang would say it best TB-500 and Frag 19-23 same, same...Tb4 and TB-500 same, same but different!

@wisgal64, thanks for sharing the article, I was wondering how Frag 19-23 was related. Have you run a protocol with either and if so thoughts? I agree with @commander vendors are using the names interchangeably, and personally I feel like biggest learning curve when getting started in peptides is learning the vernacular.

Until Recently, I was under the same impression, but they aren’t. Below is a basic Perplexity AI breakdown of how they differ. Now, I have heard people say if you have tb-500 it’s more than likely tb4. I’m not sure how true that is but there does seem to be a lot of overlap with the two. I’m sure someone on here can explain it better than I and without AI.

TB-500 and TB-4 (Thymosin Beta-4) are closely related but distinctly different peptides — TB-500 is a synthetic 7-amino acid fragment derived from the active site of TB-4, while TB-4 is the full 43-amino acid naturally occurring protein.[innerbody]
Structure & Origin
TB-4 is a naturally occurring peptide found in virtually every human cell, encoded by the TMSB4X gene, and plays broad roles in wound healing, tissue regeneration, and immune modulation. TB-500 (also called fequesetide or Ac-LKKTETQ) is specifically modeled after amino acids 17–23 of TB-4 — the segment responsible for actin-binding and cell migration. Because it’s a shorter fragment, TB-500 is significantly easier and cheaper to synthesize.
